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.

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.

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.
