Received a Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting form in the mail. Top left of the form said Form 5102 and bottom right said Form 4022 with a revision date. Form stated to give the information of the beneficial owners of the reporting entity and the EIN. Form said to include a filing fee of $119 and respond by 12/19/2024 or a $500 fine will be added each day or be fined up to $10,000 or be imprisoned for 2 years. Code at the bottom of form is *GBL-470251-3*. Fine print says the signature is the acceptance for the annual records service to act as the paid preparer to file the BOI.

I received an official-looking letter in the mail from Annual Records Service. There was no phone number, email address, or website given. It looked like an official IRS form. The form number was Form 5102 and titled, "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It said I had to respond by 12/12/2024, and the filing fee was $119. I needed to pay by check or money order. It said the penalties for non-compliance were: civil penalties of up to $500 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied. In addition, they can be fined up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment.

First class mail, presumably in response to newly registered LLC. Scammers request check or money order sent to DC address to ensure compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act requirement to report beneficial owner information. This requirement is new and indeed exists, but should be completed online and costs nothing.

Form 5102: Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting - looks like legal document - with barcodes, numbers, etc....

Says "Complete the form below and return make check or money order payable to Annual Records Service"

Has some information on Corporate Transparency Act, Exempt entities, penalties for non compliance. There is no information about what this company is at all so it really seems like a legit document
