It was a letter that looked like a federal tax form called Form 5102, Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. It asked for $119.00 and said there would be a $500 per day penalty for non compliance. It included a return address envelop, no postage paid.

Received this legitimate looking notice in the mail and decided to investigate because I had never heard of this. After researching it on reddit and here, I have decided it was a scam and shredded the paper they sent.

I received an email to register my BIOR at FinCen. I had registered last year and didn't know if this was something we had to do every year. I thought I was selecting a message from when I registered but I selected the fraudulent email rather than the correct email and input my information.

The envelope included only a return envelope and something that looked like an official tax form to be filled out and turned in with payment. The form was called 5510 and said Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting at the top. It said to complete the form and return with payment.

I received mail with my business name on it stating I need to fill out Form 5510 for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. They have our Louisiana id # on it and it asks for the business EIN, phone & email as well as all of the information for each company owner (name, address, city, state & zip code). I was not aware that this was not legit when we started our business last year and I paid it. This time, I am not submitting the requested $119.00.
