This requirement is new and indeed exists, but should be completed online and costs nothing.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

This document appears to be a deceptive solicitation aimed at business owners, designed to resemble an official government form.

This letter is a scam targeting businesses, specifically Zethra LLC, under the pretense of mandatory compliance with the “United States Corporate Transparency Act.” It demands a $119 fee to be paid to “Annual Records Service” for filing a “Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Report,” using official-sounding language and a form resembling a government document (Form 5102).

Key indicators of fraud include:

1. No federal agency or legitimate organization is named; only “Annual Records Service.”

2. Threatening penalties for noncompliance, including fines and imprisonment, which are likely fabricated.

3. Request for payment via check or money order to a private entity, not a government agency.

4. Misspellings: “sumbitter signature”

This is an attempt to exploit business owners unfamiliar with legitimate federal reporting requirements.
