I received a form in the mail titled Form 5102 from ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE. After close examination I realized it to be a potential scam and after further research I concluded that my suspicion was correct. I advise everyone to go directly to their Sec. of State website to pay any required fees associated with their business.

Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. This form does a good job making you feel like it is from the IRS.

Respond by date listed, giving you a sense of urgency claiming that if you do not file by the deadline it is a civil penalty of up to "$500 for each day..." they are hoping that you will just send the extra amount on your own accord.

Very bottom of form in fine print it does claim "Your signature is your acceptance for the annual records service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." I am not willing to find out if they in fact file for you. BOI filing is an easy process that is free online.

Was mailed an envelope address to my newly filed LLC. "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" at the top and the document looks quite official, similar to other IRS documents. Appears to be a phishing scam to attempt to scare people they'll get fined if they don't submit payment quickly.

Received a letter shortly after filing for my PLLC, looked very official and stated that it was from the Annual Records Service, and that it's for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. It also noted the penalties for non complaince ($500 for each day, and fined up to $10,000 or two years in prison), so definitely scary and looked real. I've already reported my company to FinCen and filled out my BOI, so I was confused but then noticed at the bottom it said "Your signature is your acceptance for The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." Then I googled the address and saw a lot of people saying it was a scam and noted that from the ScamPulse.com as well.

Received mail to my business which is only 6 weeks old. Received in Virtual Mail via Earth Class Mail (owned by LegalZoom). Only contents in envelope is a "FORM 5102" asking for check or money order to be sent to ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE, 1030 15TH ST NW #366, WASHINGTON, D.C., 20005-1503. I google Annual Records Service and the ScamPulse.com Scam Tracker with this company was the top result. They are asking for "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" which I had already filed before the end of 2024 with the legitimate government website before they "extended" its mandatory status indefinitely a couple weeks ago.
