They send business emails that look Government legit.they warn you that not doing it could cause for you business to be closed. They want $135 to do something that’s as simple as logging into your account to pay your fee go the year. And they ask for all your information to do it. If nothing else though, ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!!!

On October 4, 2025 we received a plain envelope in the u.S postal mail with a clear window and no return address. The inner return envelope was pre addressed to: annual records service 1030 15th street Northwest number 366 Washington DC2005 - 1503. Enclosed in the envelope was form 4434 a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting form with a respond by date of October 14, 2025. The supposed fee trying to be collected is one hundred nineteen dollars and the reporting entity was a privately owned business or current occupant. There were several red flags when we opened and reviewed this piece of mail.\n As they were trying to make us believe that they were going to file on our behalf and included scary sounding information about penalties, fines and imprisonment.

We have already taken care of this for our business as we were supposed to.And that was another red flag , because this has already been done.

I received an official-looking letter regarding my newly-registered LLC. This letter described the need for me to attain a Certificate of Good Standing and asks for a check or money order of $87.25. There is very small print near the lower middle center of the letter that states "This is not a government agency."

This certificate can be requested directly from my registered state for less than $10, and is only required for certain loan or license applications I am not seeking at this time.

After creating an solo LLC in a different state, received postal mail from "business" in DC with official sounding name directing me to pay for a certain items. One was a certificate of good standing, and the other being labor posters. The labor poster letter includes the sentence, "Your business is required by Federal Law to post a current compliant labor law poster in the workplace." This is a definitive statement as though they have analyzed my specific business to make that determination. That seems to be a misstatement, if not a mistruth. I have no employees as I am the sole owner via an LLC. The other issues is that these posters can be ordered at no cost to employers from DOL. This is one of those scams where they try to look official, and have you pay for things you can get (if even needed which for me it is not) for free.

I received a letter in the mail from this Annual Records Service wanting 119.00 or they would start fining me $500.00 per day. When I looked up Form 5510 it turned out to be bogus - the IRS has no such form. When I looked up Annual Records Service, the results indicated this was a fraudulent to get more info and my bank account. My question is: They already had my business name and address. How did they get that? Did a government agency sell the list (I also started to receive solicitations from insurance and other companies) or was my computer hacked?

Good thing I was looking up forms on the IRS website when I encountered this form and how it was a scam. They almost got us for 119$ the form looks legit but some of the wording seemed off to me . With that said something told me to look it up . I'm glad I did.

Type of a scam: Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

received a mail solicitation from a company called C.P.S. titled “2026 – Safety Manual Order Form (New York Businesses)”. The document strongly implies that purchasing their $295 safety manual is required to comply with OSHA regulations.

The letter includes threats of significant OSHA fines and civil penalties and provides a “Please Respond By” deadline, which makes it appear to be an official government notice. However, in small print it admits that C.P.S. is not a government agency and is not providing legal advice.

I believe this mailing is misleading and deceptive, especially for small businesses that may feel pressured to send payment in fear of noncompliance. I am reporting this so other businesses are not misled into unnecessary payments.

Letter received by postal service with very short turn-around time (Due date September 16, received on September 8) requesting highly sensitive business information and payment for $119 by check or money order.

No email, no phone number provided on the form, only on the return envelope. Form looks like a tax document from the IRS and alludes to 2 years imprisonment or $10,000 penalty for non compliance.

Scam is targeted at a nationwide business, not an individual.

Received letter to complete a one page annual statement for corporate meeting minutes in accordance with business state laws for $147.50. Problem is, this is the third company I have been targeted from. I did pay the fees before (2x's). Called the State Dept to inquire about my return of information, and I was told I didn't have to pay those fees because it was a scam; while the representative is smirk laughing on the phone. Never offering any suggestion to how to retrieve those funds. This should not keep happening. Why is this happening? Who is responsible for this action and the correction? This address serves The UPS STORE, offering public to "Get copies & printed presentations quickly..." THIS SHOULD BE STOPPED!!!

The mail indicates that the state registration fee must be paid for my parents LLC. Even though it is already paid. The mail attempts to get someone to mail money to a PO Box in glen Allen VA. It requests $135 which is higher than the required state registration fee. It highlights sections of the VA legal code and has several “official” stamps to make the letter appear important and real.
