- 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.

Our business received a government Form 5102 from "Annual Records Service" with a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" to be submitted with a payment

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.

I received a very official looking form in the mail called “mandatory beneficial ownership reporting” it is stating that a filing fee of $119 along with the completed form is required to avoid penalties of non-compliance. The form is labeled as 5102. The “company” is called Annual Records Service located at 1030 15th St., NW #366 Washington DC 20005-1503. No phone number or email or website is on the form.

- Rockwall, TX, USA

Received Form 5102 from Annual Records Service on 1/21/25 requesting $119 filing fee, with notice of penalty of $500 per day if not paid.

- Colorado Springs, CO, USA

Received a letter shortly after filing for my PLLC, looked very official and stated that it was from the Annual Records Service, and that it's for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. It also noted the penalties for non complaince ($500 for each day, and fined up to $10,000 or two years in prison), so definitely scary and looked real. I've already reported my company to FinCen and filled out my BOI, so I was confused but then noticed at the bottom it said "Your signature is your acceptance for The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." Then I googled the address and saw a lot of people saying it was a scam and noted that from the ScamPulse.com as well.

Only contents in envelope is a "FORM 5102" asking for check or money order to be sent to ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE, 1030 15TH ST NW #366, WASHINGTON, D.C., 20005-1503.
