- Payette, ID, USA • Oct 24, 2024

Small business owner that could have gotten scammed. Official looking form 5102

- Gatlinburg, TN, USA • Oct 23, 2024

The scammer sent a form for filing Beneficial Ownership Information for a business.

- Nampa, ID, USA • Oct 23, 2024

Sounds the same as the scam alert. 500.00 a day fine, additional 10,000 fine up to 2 years in prison.

Looks pretty official. I went to IRS.Gov to look up form and found there was no form 5102. Then I started digging deeper and discovered the scam out there.

- Nashua, NH, USA • Oct 23, 2024

Letter received through US mail. Looked very official with bar codes and form number similar to other IRS forms. Very convincing. Only real flag was the payee name for the requested amount: Annual Records Service

- Cumming, GA, USA • Oct 22, 2024

Form 5102 Annual Records Service form received via postal mail requesting information about owners of an LLC and a filing fee to return form with $119.

- Essex Junction, VT, USA • Oct 22, 2024

My practice received a single page "form" in the mail labeled Form 5102 indicating that I must complete and return it in order to avoid up to $10,000 fine or 2 years of imprisonment. It requested my name, EIN for the business, address, and payment. There was NO notation on the form about it not being an official government document. Instead, it indicated that US Businesses are required to report their beneficial ownership information, and that this has been "enacted by congress".

- Caddo Mills, TX, USA • Oct 22, 2024

Received a letter (form 5102) in the mail from the "Annual Records Service". The form indicated this was a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting service and a fee of $119 was required. It looks legitimate, even stating the US Corporate Transparency Act requires businesses to report their beneficial ownership information. There is no phone number, no website listed. The return address on the envelope is Annual Records Service 1030 15th ST NW #366 Washington DC 20005-1503. I do not have an a business or LLC.

- Conyers, GA, USA • Oct 21, 2024

- Huntsville, AL, USA • Oct 21, 2024

Asks for identifying information from business (EIN, etc) and threatens fines of up to $500 per day if not in compliance. Looks legitimate upon first glance.

- Council Grove, KS, USA • Oct 21, 2024

Letter in mail - looks possibly real for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting - and Businesses do have to do this - except it can be online and is FREE. I had already done so I thought this might be fake and it is.
