Report

Titled "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". Top of the page shows Form 5102 but Form 4022 at the bottom. The instructions begin with, "PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT, ENACTED BY CONGRESS. US Businesses are required to report their beneficial ownership information." Requested a filing fee of $119 in the form of check or money order, along with the completed form. The formatting, along with some of the dates being cut off or converted to scientific notation, suggest that this form was created in Microsoft Excel. No phone number or website is shown on the form. Also contains a pre-addressed envelope to the Annual Records Service.

Scammer attempted to use "Penalties for Non Compliance" as a method for threatening non payment. Letter states that we could face penalties up to $500 for each day that the violation continues and that we could be fined up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment. The form of the letter looks official, like an IRS or government form.
