They send me a form 5102, top left corner. It asks for Beneficial Owners information such as full name, address, EIN #, phone, email, and company title. What scares me is when they have this warning:

PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLICANCE:

Companies who willfully provide false information or neglect to report by the filing deadline can face a civil penalties of up to $500 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied. In addition, they can be fined up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Formed a new LLC recently. This scam mailer has an official looking form (“Form 5102”…the formatting is quite good) that cites that all new US businesses must report the beneficial owner or else face penalties (which is true). The form has a $119 filing fee, check payable to the Annual Records Service, located in Washington, DC. My lawyer already filed this information, so the scammer is just using the publicly available name and mailing address of my LLC to attempt to get me to pay a filing fee again. DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS SCAM. Just throw it in the trash or recycling bin along with your other junk mail.

The company in question sent "Form 5102 - Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" which states the form should be completed and returned. It also states, "Make check or money order payable to: Annual Records Service." The notice says, "Respond by 12/26/2024" and lists a filing fee of $119.00. Then the form has a paragraph under a title of "PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLIANCE" that says you can face "a civil penalties (bad grammar) of up to $00 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied......"

They got my business name and address from the State of Montana Secretary of State after I filed for an LLC business. They are requesting I fill out a form 5102 that is requiring all business contact information including EIN, (which in my case would be my SSN), officer names and contact information, names and contact information of all Beneficial owners in addition to the $119 filing fee. And state the penalties for not filing by the filing deadline of 12/19/2024 which had already passed by the time I received the document. Also states that I could face civil penalties up to $500 per day in violation of filing date as well as additional fines up to $10,000 and face up to 2 years imprisonment if the fee is not paid on time. Also states this is pursuant to the United States Corporate Transparency Act enacted by Congress that businesses are required to report their information and pay the filing fees. It indicates they received my LLC company name from my state (Montana) Secretary of State.
