Report

Letter in mail:

This letter is to inform you of a federal filing requirement. Your business has a reporting obligation under new federal legislature aimed at preventing financial crimes. You must provide updated ownership for the above listed entity. This information will help curb financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorism financing by augmenting transparency in corporate structures.

This reporting is mandatory for the majority of businesses in the United States. Your receiving of this letter nor your obligation to file is an indicator you have or are suspect of having committed any crimes. This is a proactive requirement aimed at helping create more transparency in ownership structures. This will prevent bad actors from hiding behind corporate shields.

This reporting takes approximately 5 minutes and your cooperation is appreciated.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

The penalties for noncompliance can be severe. Companies that fail to file the required report or that file false or misleading information, may be subject to civil fines of up to $500 per day, criminal fines of up to $10,000, and/or imprisonment for up to two years.

How to File

At the Business Regulations Department (BRD) we have simplified the reporting process with a new online portal. Follow the steps below:

Go to www.brdportal.us/portal or scan the QR Code.

Carefully read instructions and have required information ready.

You must complete the filing in one session. You cannot save progress.

Filing must be completed by a corporate officer, board member, owner or paid preparer with the power to act on behalf of the entity.

• Make sure all information provided is accurate and up to date.

Report

I received a letter from United States Business Regulations Department that said if I failed to report my business information I'd received fines of up to $500 per day or $10,000 and/or imprisonment for up to two years. They ask that I go to their website: www.brd-filing.us or scan the QR Code. I accidentally scanned the QR Code and I did type in the web address both had failed to reach the site. That's when I thought this can't be real. So, I'm here reporting it now.

I received this letter from an envelope with the words "United Business Regulation" at the top followed by the city and "Time sensitive mail open immediately." This was the letter I received, with my personal information blacked out. I was fortunate enough to look up the information first and find that others had reported this as a scam before any personal information or money could be stolen from me.

A letter I received claimed that if I do not report information about my new business to prevent crimes, I will be penalized $500 per day up to $10,000 and/or imprisoned. A QR code is included on the letter, and I was instructed to scan it or go to the website and enter all required information in one session. The information required is not listed in the letter. I did not find a credible government website nor any information about it, so I have not given any information or gone to the websites suggested yet.

The scammer sent what appears to be a mailer from the US Government regarding my registered LLC. It's requesting all personally identifiable information including SSN, Drivers License, Contact information, etc. It also wants me to pay to file and threatens me with fines if I do not file.
