I received a letter titled "Subject: Notice of federal filing requirement" from the US Dept. of Records Management relating to my small business. The letter "requires response" with the penalty being a $500 fine per day, criminal fines of up to $10k, and the possibility of imprisonment four a maximum of two years. I'm young, unfortunately young enough to look at face value and assume that the entity exists and I should follow the rules and fulfill my role as a business owner. I scanner the QR code and typed in the web link within the letter but luckily neither my phone nor laptop would navigate me to the site. I was able to find web forums & blogs referencing the letter and found that it's a scam, I've pasted links to those resources below, all of which were posted in 2023.
