I received a letter in the mail that said my company (by name) may be administratively dissolved or revoked if the 2025 Annual Registration Fees are not paid by July 31, 2025.

Received mail for a Form 5102 from Annual Records Service. The revision date on the bottom of this form is a date that hasn’t occurred yet. Example- it is 04/25 the rev is 12/25

- Pierce City, MO, USA • Apr 23, 2025

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.

- Clovis, NM, USA • Apr 23, 2025

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.

The form requested submitter’s full name, business EIN number, phone number, email, and full names of business owners and their addresses.
