- Denton, TX, USA

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.

- Little Rock, AR, USA

Scammer sent form entitled "Form 5102" from the "Annual Records Service," posing as a government entity requiring $119 be sent to their address for my LLC. Penalties for noncompliance listed as "up to $500 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied. In addition, they can be fined up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment."

- Matthews, NC, USA

Form 5102 was received by physical mail on 09/21/2024, without a sender address. It requests a check or money order payable to Annual Records Service, with a deadline of 09/30/2024. The mail states that failure to comply may result in penalties of up to $500 per day for each day past the deadline. Additionally, non-compliance could lead to fines of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 2 years. There was no website or other method to file this.

- Lillington, NC, USA

Our business received a government Form 5102 from "Annual Records Service" with a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" to be submitted with a payment of $119.00. It looked very convincing, but the font was slightly irregular compared to standard government forms, and I've never heard of an "Annual Records Service." I looked into it and the FinCEN does require this form to be submitted, but there is no payment due for the filing, and is encouraged to file online. I found the scam alert on your website when I searched the address on the return envelope.
