Received a letter shortly after filing for my PLLC, looked very official and stated that it was from the Annual Records Service, and that it's for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. It also noted the penalties for non complaince ($500 for each day, and fined up to $10,000 or two years in prison), so definitely scary and looked real. I've already reported my company to FinCen and filled out my BOI, so I was confused but then noticed at the bottom it said "Your signature is your acceptance for The Annual Records Service to act as your paid preparer to file this BOI on your behalf." Then I googled the address and saw a lot of people saying it was a scam and noted that from the ScamPulse.com as well.

Received mail to my business which is only 6 weeks old. Received in Virtual Mail via Earth Class Mail (owned by LegalZoom). Only contents in envelope is a "FORM 5102" asking for check or money order to be sent to ANNUAL RECORDS SERVICE, 1030 15TH ST NW #366, WASHINGTON, D.C., 20005-1503. I google Annual Records Service and the ScamPulse.com Scam Tracker with this company was the top result. They are asking for "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" which I had already filed before the end of 2024 with the legitimate government website before they "extended" its mandatory status indefinitely a couple weeks ago.
