Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

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.

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.

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.

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.
