Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting notice that came after the due date on the statement.

The mail was sent after the "URGENT RESPOND BY DATE" of 12/26/2024 in an attempt to rush us to pay fees for a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" for our organization.

They send me a form 5102, top left corner. It asks for Beneficial Owners information such as full name, address, EIN #, phone, email, and company title. What scares me is when they have this warning:

Letter received in the mail that included our business name and address.

- 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.
