Received letter from the Annual Records Service with form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting.

I just filed my business LLC and I received this letter in the mail around February 19/20th stating that I had until 2/20/2025 to file the form for $119 or else I would be violating the US Corporate Transparency Act Enacted by Congress. This form is made to look like a paper version of the BOIR. Luckily, I was going to file online with FinCen and saw that it was free which is what made me question the paper form. I did some research and saw that it was a scam but this really does look legitimate.

It also states penalties for non-compliance as being $500/day for civil penalties and up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment if this is not filed. PLEASE BE WARE - FinCen clearly states that filing is FREE !

I recently registered a business in Texas. I received a letter by mail with no website or phone details or anyway to contact someone. It appeared to be a Form 5102. It claimed I needed complete the "Mandatory Beneficial Owner Reporting" form and include payment of a filing fee of $119 payable to Annual Records Service at 1030 15th ST NW #366 Washington DC 20005-1503. It included the name of my company and the address at which it is registered. There was nothing on it indicated any part of the government or agency which might have sent the form and there was not letter in addition to the form. There was an included return envelop but with no prepaid postage.

I just started a new LLC within 2 months of registering, I received a letter in the mail from the Annual Records Service claiming I needed to fill out a "MANDATORY BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING" form (Form 1502), or be penalized $500 per day after the specified due date. The form however is from Dec. 2023, making it two years old, and has no contact information listed. So I have not responded to the request and decided to Google if this was a scam, which I believe it is. The concerning part however, is that it's made out to my new company and was only just registered. So I'm not entirely sure how they obtained this info so readily.
