Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I recently registered an LLC for my business, and this week received a letter with no return address containing a form "5102" and a return envelope addressed to "Annual Records Service" in Washington, DC. The form was "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" with a due date, a filing fee of $119, and warnings about the US Corporate Transparency Act as well as the fines that would be incurred if I failed to file. I am very familiar with scams, but the formatting and wording of the form was quite convincing. In very fine print at the bottom, it stated that my signature was acceptance for "The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." I am currently not even required to file a BOI, and the deceptive nature of this letter tells me that this company is seeking to rip people off.

I received in the mail from an official looking document for "Annual Records Service." I just had started a small business and did my BOI filing so I am assuming thats why they tried to send me that. Annoying that they have my information but I guess its public information now. Glad I googled it and found it to be a scam.

I received an "Official" envelope at my business address, labeled Annual Records Service. Inside there is form 5510 "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It all looks official, but upon reviewing the form I see no government entity to which the form should be sent. So, I checked with the ScamPulse.com to see if it is a scam

The scam involved my business name in a document that very closely resembles a legit government form. Top right it says Form 5102 but they forgot to change the number on the bottom which says Form 4022 which is another famous scam attempt. It asks for a money order or check for the amount of $119 payable to the "Annual Records Service" and makes reference to the Corporate Transparency Act. No phone number to call or website to visit is listed

Annual Records Service mails official-looking bills that look like they are from a Government Agency. This one claimed it was for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. The bill includes a form that asks for names, address, EIN, phone number, and other personal details. This is the second attempt by this company, only last time the form was for a different "Mandatory Reporting". The address given for mailing the check is a UPS Box in a UPS store in Washington, DC.
