- Springfield, VA, USA

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.

- Neenah, WI, USA

we were sent a "Form 4434" by mail indicating it was mandatory for us to complete when really our industry is exempt from completing beneficial ownership forms

- Chevy Chase, MD, USA

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.

- Southwick, MA, USA

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

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.

- Chattanooga, TN, USA

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

- Lake Forest, IL, USA

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

- Greeneville, TN, USA

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

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

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

- Hartford, CT, USA

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

- Leesburg, VA, USA

The letterhead stated "Virginia Annual Registration Fees"

- Wayne, PA, USA

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.

- Lincoln Park, MI, USA

They ask for your business ein number and address .

- Herndon, VA, USA

Similar to other post, received mailer indicating I owd registration fees and that I would be dissolved or revoked by X date.

- Leesburg, VA, USA

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.
