- Wilmington, NC, USA

Annual Records Service sent an official looking form 5102. They required sensitive information and made it sound urgent that I had to pay or would receive $500 fee per day.

- Branford, CT, USA

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.

- Lorain, OH, USA

The company called Annual Records Service sent a Form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting, requesting a filing fee of $119. They quoted the United States Corporate Transparency Act enacted by Congress. They do not have an email address, phone number, or website listed on the form. They ask for a check or money order made payable to Annual Records Service. They also gave a date to respond by as if the payment has a due date.

Inside contained an official looking IRS-style "Form 5102", titled "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It demands that the form be completed with the contact information of the business officers and to return the form with a check or money order for $119. There is no contact information anywhere except for the mailing address on a return envelope.

- Claflin, KS, USA

Sent to my LLC trying to make it look like the Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting

- Phoenixville, PA, USA

I am starting up a new business, and received an official-looking letter stating that my "business is required by Federal Law to post a current compliant labor law poster in the workplace"; and that failure to do so could result in fines of "nearly $40,000". The letter goes on to stress that "penalties and risks of non-compliance with posting regulations can lead to potential fines" and "lawsuits". I should pay a Document Fee of $92.58, to be mailed to the address in Harrisburg, PA.

(I believe that the poster costs $9.95, and I do not need one anyway because I don't have any employees).
