- Port Saint Lucie, FL, USA • Oct 04, 2025

On October 4, 2025 we received a plain envelope in the u.S postal mail with a clear window and no return address. The inner return envelope was pre addressed to: annual records service 1030 15th street Northwest number 366 Washington DC2005 - 1503. Enclosed in the envelope was form 4434 a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting form with a respond by date of October 14, 2025. The supposed fee trying to be collected is one hundred nineteen dollars and the reporting entity was a privately owned business or current occupant. There were several red flags when we opened and reviewed this piece of mail.\n As they were trying to make us believe that they were going to file on our behalf and included scary sounding information about penalties, fines and imprisonment.

We have already taken care of this for our business as we were supposed to.And that was another red flag , because this has already been done.

Form 4534. Annual records service. An offical looking form but with no phone number, email address to contact anyone.

- Capitol Heights, MD, USA • Sep 21, 2025

I received an official-looking letter regarding my newly-registered LLC. This letter described the need for me to attain a Certificate of Good Standing and asks for a check or money order of $87.25. There is very small print near the lower middle center of the letter that states "This is not a government agency."

This certificate can be requested directly from my registered state for less than $10, and is only required for certain loan or license applications I am not seeking at this time.
