Type of a scam: Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I just started a new LLC within 2 months of registering, I received a letter in the mail from the Annual Records Service claiming I needed to fill out a "MANDATORY BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING" form (Form 1502), or be penalized $500 per day after the specified due date. The form however is from Dec. 2023, making it two years old, and has no contact information listed. So I have not responded to the request and decided to Google if this was a scam, which I believe it is. The concerning part however, is that it's made out to my new company and was only just registered. So I'm not entirely sure how they obtained this info so readily.

I recently registered a business in Texas. I received a letter by mail with no website or phone details or anyway to contact someone. It appeared to be a Form 5102. It claimed I needed complete the "Mandatory Beneficial Owner Reporting" form and include payment of a filing fee of $119 payable to Annual Records Service at 1030 15th ST NW #366 Washington DC 20005-1503. It included the name of my company and the address at which it is registered. There was nothing on it indicated any part of the government or agency which might have sent the form and there was not letter in addition to the form. There was an included return envelop but with no prepaid postage.

Type of a scam: Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received a form via US postal mail on 2/18/2025 labeled as Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. It looks very much like an IRS form, stating a filing fee of $119 was due by 2/20/2025. Has statements referencing The United States Corporate Transparency Act, Penalties for noncompliance, and perjury. Requests names, addresses, EIN. The very bottom line, in tiny print states "Your signature is your acceptance for The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." Most would never see this disclaimer.

Almost immediately after I started my business, Annual Records Service sent me an alleged 5102 reporting form titled Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting claiming I needed to send $119 within a few days or would be faced with a civil penalty of $500/day, $10K in fines, and two years imprisonment. Signature of the form meant acceptance that the fake company Annual Records Service would act as the paid preparer to file the form.

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.

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.
