Fake Business Compliance Letter Scam Reports & Reviews – Page 14 (432)

- Albuquerque, NM, USA

Sent a blank Form 5102 and requested a $119 filing fee

- Westport, CT, USA

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.

We received a “form 5102“ in the mail. The form was ostensibly produced by the “Annual Records Service,” The form looks very similar to an official IRS form and listed our newly incorporated business as a “reporting entity.“ We were intrigued.
