DOL Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) email question

[Tax Cowboy]

Group:

Client, who has an ongoing DOL audit and pending US Tax Court petitions related to its S esop, received a very weird looking email asking them to be part of the DOL Dallas TX data collection dept for national collection of data re monthly payroll. 

And that a representative will be calling to discuss various payroll related items. 

I don't believe in coincidences with the Govt. Are many of your clients receiving  similar letters and emails? 

We also have a pending FOIA request for a number of items related to the clients ESOP. 

I'm inclined to not have client interact with DOL given all pending matters. 

Thoughts and comments appreciated. 

Thank you
