Business owners who are preparing to file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports by Jan. 1, 2025, should be alert. The U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is warning of scams designed to steal sensitive information by targeting BOI filers. Scammers may reference fake forms, such as “Form 4022” or “Form 5102,” or they might refer to a non-existent agency, the “U.S. Business Regulations Dept.” Other red flags include requests for fee payment, threats of penalties, and suspicious URLs or QR codes. FinCEN advises businesses to verify the sender before answering correspondence. Contact us with questions or visit: https://bit.ly/3YZH2gn
