Simply go to the postal address and arrest anyone with that P.O. Box - I'd gladly upload an image of this to prove this but apparently this is already well known, so why haven't they been arrested?

- Austin, TX, USA

The document this company sent appears to be from the government stating the this form needs to be sent in by 1/30/2025 which is the date I received it. I am aware that a BOIR needed to be sent in and I may have attempted to send it through this company, but I already did it online so I knew something in g was incorrect.

This “company” searches for public companies who have just started and need to file a BOIR. They then send an official looking document stating they must submit this document with payment before a quickly approaching date. THERE IS NO FEE IF YOU DO THIS YOURSELF. There are so many companies looking to trick you into into using them to submit the paper work.

- Lebanon, PA, USA

I got a letter in the mail asking me to send credit card info to acquire a required “labor law poster” for my small business for $108. It says I can get fined up to $7,000 for not having this poster, and when I look up the address of the business it is just a strip mall. There’s no phone number for the business provided either which I think is odd.

Pretends to be official mail from a federal government agency called “Annual Records Service” demanding completion of a form titled “Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting” and marked “Form 5102”, and demanding payment of a filing fee. Includes a summary of a law regarding beneficial ownership reporting and of the penalties for non-compliance.

I received a form in the mail titled Form 5102 from ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE. After close examination I realized it to be a potential scam and after further research I concluded that my suspicion was correct. I advise everyone to go directly to their Sec. of State website to pay any required fees associated with their business.

- Gardnerville, NV, USA

Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. This form does a good job making you feel like it is from the IRS.

Respond by date listed, giving you a sense of urgency claiming that if you do not file by the deadline it is a civil penalty of up to "$500 for each day..." they are hoping that you will just send the extra amount on your own accord.

Very bottom of form in fine print it does claim "Your signature is your acceptance for the annual records service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." I am not willing to find out if they in fact file for you. BOI filing is an easy process that is free online.

- Oakwood, GA, USA

Was mailed an envelope address to my newly filed LLC. "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" at the top and the document looks quite official, similar to other IRS documents. Appears to be a phishing scam to attempt to scare people they'll get fined if they don't submit payment quickly.

Form 5102 BOI form titled under Annual Records Service with a filing fee of $119.00 due by 1/23/25 or penalties of $500 per day up to $10,000 and 2 years in prison if not paid. 5102 form looks legit asking for personal information including EIN. Has a bar code in the bottom right corner for internalnuse only. I've already filled this form out online with Texas Secretary of State months ago with no filing fee.
