The company in question sent "Form 5102 - Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" which states the form should be completed and returned. It also states, "Make check or money order payable to: Annual Records Service." The notice says, "Respond by 12/26/2024" and lists a filing fee of $119.00. Then the form has a paragraph under a title of "PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLIANCE" that says you can face "a civil penalties (bad grammar) of up to $00 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied......"

We received a “form 5102“ in the mail. The form was ostensibly produced by the “Annual Records Service,” The form looks very similar to an official IRS form and listed our newly incorporated business as a “reporting entity.“ We were intrigued. They wanted a $199 along with the names and addresses of the “beneficial owners.” Fortunately for us, we didn’t bite.

They got my business name and address from the State of Montana Secretary of State after I filed for an LLC business. They are requesting I fill out a form 5102 that is requiring all business contact information including EIN, (which in my case would be my SSN), officer names and contact information, names and contact information of all Beneficial owners in addition to the $119 filing fee. And state the penalties for not filing by the filing deadline of 12/19/2024 which had already passed by the time I received the document. Also states that I could face civil penalties up to $500 per day in violation of filing date as well as additional fines up to $10,000 and face up to 2 years imprisonment if the fee is not paid on time. Also states this is pursuant to the United States Corporate Transparency Act enacted by Congress that businesses are required to report their information and pay the filing fees. It indicates they received my LLC company name from my state (Montana) Secretary of State.
