Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

This document appears to be a deceptive solicitation aimed at business owners, designed to resemble an official government form.

This letter is a scam targeting businesses, specifically Zethra LLC, under the pretense of mandatory compliance with the “United States Corporate Transparency Act.” It demands a $119 fee to be paid to “Annual Records Service” for filing a “Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Report,” using official-sounding language and a form resembling a government document (Form 5102).

Key indicators of fraud include:

1. No federal agency or legitimate organization is named; only “Annual Records Service.”

2. Threatening penalties for noncompliance, including fines and imprisonment, which are likely fabricated.

3. Request for payment via check or money order to a private entity, not a government agency.

4. Misspellings: “sumbitter signature”

This is an attempt to exploit business owners unfamiliar with legitimate federal reporting requirements.

The company called Annual Records Service sent a Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting, requesting a filing fee of $119. They quoted the United States Corporate Transparency Act enacted by Congress. They do not have an email address, phone number, or website listed on the form. They ask for a check or money order made payable to Annual Records Service. They also gave a date to respond by as if the payment has a due date.

We received in USPS mail an envelope with no return address and printed in the postage area was "Mailing from Zip Code 27407" and "Presorted First-Class Mail U.S. Postage Paid Permit #34". Inside contained an official looking IRS-style "Form 5102", titled "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It demands that the form be completed with the contact information of the business officers and to return the form with a check or money order for $119. There is no contact information anywhere except for the mailing address on a return envelope.

I am starting up a new business, and received an official-looking letter stating that my "business is required by Federal Law to post a current compliant labor law poster in the workplace"; and that failure to do so could result in fines of "nearly $40,000". The letter goes on to stress that "penalties and risks of non-compliance with posting regulations can lead to potential fines" and "lawsuits". I should pay a Document Fee of $92.58, to be mailed to the address in Harrisburg, PA.

(I believe that the poster costs $9.95, and I do not need one anyway because I don't have any employees).

I revieved a letter from "Annual Records Service" addressed to my Business named "Kratos Investigations and Process Service llc." which is attached to my real name via Colorado SOS Records. It is likely my name and physical address were conpromised if they searched my business through Colorado secretary of state. I am 100% certain I have already filed my BOI, so this letter for "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" I received via postal mail is almost definitely a phising attempt
