Scammer sent a notice by US Postal service with a heading "Virginia Annual Report" "Due June 30,2025" They were able to use publicly available information from Virginia's State Corporation Commission reflecting the name and the entity ID number assigned by Virginia in the addressee section. There was a QR Code plus the website printed out Busfile.org/VA2025. They wanted a $225 fee which was a red flag since the annual fee posted on the Virginia State Corporation Commission's website is $50. Went no further after that and did not provide any banking information etc.

I received a tax like document in the mail called Form 4434. This is what is written on it:

"PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT, ENACTED BY CONGRESS. US Businesses are required to report their beneficial ownership information. A reporting company is any corporation, limited liability company, or any other entities created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the United States.

A beneficial owner is an individual who either directly or indirectly: (1) exercises substantial control over the reporting company (President, CEO, COO, CFO, etc.), or

(2) owns or controls at least 25% of the reporting company's ownership interests.

EXEMPT ENTITIES: Inactive Entity, Dissolved Entity, 501(c)3 Non Profit.

Companies who willfully provide false information or neglect to report by the filing deadline can face a civil penalties of 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."

At the bottom of the form it states the following:

"Make check or money order payable to" Annual Records Service.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this form, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete. Declaration of preparer is based on all information of which preparer has any knowledge. Knowingly providing misleading or false information may lead to fines, sanctions or criminal action.
