Small business owner that could have gotten scammed. Official looking form 5102

Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting

- Lake Jackson, TX, USA

Received a letter with "Form 5102" and instructions to provide all my business and personal information along with a check or money order for $119. There is a message in the top right corner of the form citing that "Pursuant to the United States Corporate Transparency Act" if I don't file this form, I could be fined $500 per day up to $10,000 as well as 2 years imprisonment. There is no other information. No email, no website, no phone number. I googled the address and it appears to be a UPS store in Washington, D.C. I did not respond but want to warn others.

- Kansas City, KS, USA

Got a letter saying I needed to file a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" form. And pay $119.00

Sounds the same as the scam alert. 500.00 a day fine, additional 10,000 fine up to 2 years in prison.

Looks pretty official. I went to IRS.Gov to look up form and found there was no form 5102. Then I started digging deeper and discovered the scam out there.

- Gatlinburg, TN, USA

The scammer sent a form for filing Beneficial Ownership Information for a business.

- Caddo Mills, TX, USA

Received a letter (form 5102) in the mail from the "Annual Records Service". The form indicated this was a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting service and a fee of $119 was required. It looks legitimate, even stating the US Corporate Transparency Act requires businesses to report their beneficial ownership information. There is no phone number, no website listed. The return address on the envelope is Annual Records Service 1030 15th ST NW #366 Washington DC 20005-1503. I do not have an a business or LLC.

My practice received a single page "form" in the mail labeled Form 5102 indicating that I must complete and return it in order to avoid up to $10,000 fine or 2 years of imprisonment. It requested my name, EIN for the business, address, and payment. There was NO notation on the form about it not being an official government document. Instead, it indicated that US Businesses are required to report their beneficial ownership information, and that this has been "enacted by congress".
