Very official “looking” document received through the mail - indicating it is Form 4434 “Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting.” There is a notice ID in the top right, and the form is received 2 weeks after the due date given. The completed document, and payment of $119.00, is to be mailed to “Annual Records Services” in Washington DC. After researching this form number, I discovered this is a common scam and should not be completed and returned.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I opened my LLC in July 2024 and received my first Annual Registration Fee Assessment invoice from Commonwealth of Virginia-State Corporation Commission for $50. due 7/31/2025. I paid by check and it cleared my bank account in May.

I received a statement for this same filing from "Business Filing LLC" but for $225 to cover impending "late fees and service charges" using a Qcode. I was caregiving and moving at the same time, so I erroneously and inadvertently paid this amount using my credit card.

I received another statement from 2 more businesses, "Fast Filing Services LLC" and also from "Next Step Filings" with more urgent warnings of late fees, etc. I ignored those, but I feel they were predatory so I mention them here.

I was sent a form by mail requesting my company to pay for a Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. When I first received this, I thought that it was legitimate. But after looking at it again, it did not look real “official.” Then I researched what Form 5510 is for and this did not come up. Plus I already filed for my BOI on the correct website. Please do not send any money. And do your research to make sure what you are receiving is from the actual government.
