Form from “annual records service” 5510 “mandatory beneficial ownership reporting” asking for check or money order before a certain date and name and address of beneficial owners

- Suitland, MD, USA • Sep 05, 2025

The scammer sent me a certificate of state request form from a business resource center at 1030 15th St., Northwest #183 Washington DC 2005–1503 requesting that I pay $87.25 which they state is to cover the cost to obtain my LLC's elective Maryland Certificate of Good Standing.

Asking for all my business related information and $119 for a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting form 5510. I have attached a photo of the top of the form and the return envelope as the rest of it had my personal information on it.

- Lebanon, KY, USA • Aug 31, 2025

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.

- Springfield, VA, USA • Aug 29, 2025

Received letter requiring me to go to "Busfile.org/va2025" web site and pay my annual registration fees for my business. Made threat of being administratively being dropped if I be not renew by August 31, 2025. Letter included a QR code which I did not scan.

- Chevy Chase, MD, USA • Aug 25, 2025

After registering a new business, I received a letter that appeared like a legal document from the state of Maryland titled Corporate Meeting Minutes, Annual Statement, stating I needed to list all owners, our titles, contact information, my signature and payment of $147.50. Check to be made payable to Corporate Document Service, 1032 15th St PMB 233, Washington DC 20005-1502.

Demanded with a phony "Form 4434" that resembles an IRS form, but is not, a check or money order for $119 to report the ownership information of my business

- Naples, NY, USA • Aug 23, 2025

Received a letter with official looking form. They needed the money very quickly. If it wasn't received there would be a fine of 500$ a day. 10000$ fine and or two years in prison.

- Lake Forest, IL, USA • Aug 22, 2025

Received in the mail "Form 4434" "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Report" "PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT" due 08/20/2025 with claims of penalties of $500 per day and 2 years imprisonment for failing to file.

I had file the BOI in 2024 so knew this was a scam

- Chattanooga, TN, USA • Aug 22, 2025

All details are exactly the same as the initial recorded instance regarding this scam. Mailed letter, form 4434, included a return envelope to ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE

- Greeneville, TN, USA • Aug 20, 2025

Received official-looking document from "Corporate Document Service" requiring business information and a $147.50 fee to be mailed back to them for "Corporate Meeting Minutes Annual Statement"

- Arlington, VA, USA • Aug 14, 2025

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.

- Zachary, LA, USA • Aug 14, 2025

I recieved form 5510 in the mail for my LLC requesting personal information and a check for 119.00

- Hartford, CT, USA • Aug 08, 2025

We received a Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting form 5510 from the Annual Records Service in Washington DC. The address doesn't match the REAL address. I called to report it

- Wayne, PA, USA • Aug 08, 2025

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.

- Leesburg, VA, USA • Aug 08, 2025

The letterhead stated "Virginia Annual Registration Fees"

- Lincoln Park, MI, USA • Aug 07, 2025

They ask for your business ein number and address .

- Leesburg, VA, USA • Aug 03, 2025

I was sent an email with my due date and my ID number for my SCC filing date. They had my business name and address and said to file with them using that information and file at busfile.org/VA2025 or risk my business being "Administratively dissolved or revoked if the 2025 annual registration Fees are not paid" by the date given. There is a QR code and the website listed. It doesnt exactly say who it is but it says has a logo that says "Business Filing Powered by Firststep" The fine print at the bottom says all Virginia LLCs must pay annual registration fees.
