I was mailed a 5102 form from the Annual Records Service stating that I had to fill out my BOI and pay $119 by 10/9 (I received this on 10/3) by check or money order. There is no phone number or website listed, and the envelope it came in was stamped "presorted first class US postage paid". Nothing else was on the envelope. I looked up the address for where I was supposed to send the money, and the building was for lease.

Our business received a government Form 5102 from "Annual Records Service" with a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" to be submitted with a payment of $119.00. It looked very convincing, but the font was slightly irregular compared to standard government forms, and I've never heard of an "Annual Records Service." I looked into it and the FinCEN does require this form to be submitted, but there is no payment due for the filing, and is encouraged to file online. I found the scam alert on your website when I searched the address on the return envelope.

Received a letter in the mail from the Annual Records Service with a form number at the top saying 5102. There is no email, phone number, or website to pay the fee they are asking for. They are asking to send in a check or money order. It looks like an official government form including a paragraph explaining what it is and the penalties if not paid. However, if you read the paragraph at the bottom of the page, the last sentence does say "Your signature is your acceptance for The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." I googled this to see if it was legit, and everyone said it was a scam.
