I received a single form and a return envelope in a plain, window business envelope with no return address. The form is titled "Mandatory Beneficial Business Ownership Reporting". The directions says, "Complete the form below and return. Make Check or money order payable to Annual Records Service." The "filing fee" is listed as $119 and a paragraph called "penalities for noncompliance" details fines and possible imprisonment for failure to comply. A return envelope was addressed to "Annual Records Service, 1030 15th St. NW #366, Washington, DC 20005-1503

I have a one-person LLC. I do PR/communications. I received an envelope with no return address. Top right says "Mailing from zip code 27407" and "presorted first-class mail U.S. Postage Paid Permit #34. Looks very official minus no return address. Inside was "Form 5102" a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" form to complete the form and make check or money order payable to the "Annual Records Service."

Has a very official looking bar code in the top right and bottom right corners and a few official-looking codes on the top right and bottom left corners. The red flags for me are as follows:

-The "Respond By" date says "10/14/202" so the year wasn't fully listed making me think it is a typo or a scam

-The paper is regular printer paper without fine-print information on the back the way other official forms have

-The emphasis on "penalties for non compliance" (which should be hyphenated) of up to $500 for each day the violation continues or up to 2 years of imprisonment

-No website or phone number to call

-The form, when folded doesn't fit into the smaller envelope, the way it would if a mailing house did the mail job.

-The "Place Stamp Here" square on the return envelope looks like it was developed in a Word document

-When I searched the mailing address for the check, the first link to come up was this ScamPulse.com scam tracker

-I’ve been in business for 4 years and have never received any mail from an Annual Records Service

I had the form filled out and the check filled out as well almost ready to send and all of these things just didn't add up for me, so I am not going to send. So scary!

Letter was dated 9/24/2024. It was received sometime the week of September 30 while I was out of town. It had a must reply by date to avoid possible penalties by October 8. It was an official looking form 5102 titled Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting with no email or phone contact info or website and no explanation of what the form was for. Also had a statement reference to being Pursuant to the United States Corporate Transparency Act Enacted by Congress as well as a statement about some dire financial and jail time penalties for not responding by the deadline. It is basically a blank form that says fill this out and send in $119 or you will be in trouble. At the bottom of the form in small print I found a statement---Your signature is your acceptance for the Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf. Whatever a BOI is.
