Annual Records Service

Form 4022 (Rev. January 2024)

- Decatur, IN, USA

I received an "Official" envelope at my business address, labeled Annual Records Service. Inside there is form 5510 "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It all looks official, but upon reviewing the form I see no government entity to which the form should be sent. So, I checked with the ScamPulse.com to see if it is a scam

- Galloway, OH, USA

The scam involved my business name in a document that very closely resembles a legit government form. Top right it says Form 5102 but they forgot to change the number on the bottom which says Form 4022 which is another famous scam attempt. It asks for a money order or check for the amount of $119 payable to the "Annual Records Service" and makes reference to the Corporate Transparency Act. No phone number to call or website to visit is listed

- South Bend, IN, USA

Annual Records Service mails official-looking bills that look like they are from a Government Agency. This one claimed it was for Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. The bill includes a form that asks for names, address, EIN, phone number, and other personal details. This is the second attempt by this company, only last time the form was for a different "Mandatory Reporting". The address given for mailing the check is a UPS Box in a UPS store in Washington, DC.

- San Diego, CA, USA

I received a form in the mail addressed to my LLC. The form was titled “Form 5510 - Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting” requesting all of my contact information, a signature, and a check for $119 stating that I owe this money “pursuant to the United States corporate transparency act, enacted by congress.” The form also states that if I failed to pay this, I would be charged civil penalties of up to $500 for each day that the violation continues.

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

I am the person of correspondence for a startup company registered by my friend. I receive all letters addressed to his company. Today I got an official-looking mail from Annual Records Service from 1030 15th St NW #366, Washington DC 20005-1503. The letter looks like a tax form with form number 5510 and the title "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting." It asks to fill in information of the company's beneficial owners and a payment of $119 by check or money order by 4/22/2025. The letter even has an envelope inside for returning the form. However, at the bottom lower corner of the form, the form number becomes 4022, which does not match the number at the top left corner. Also, the printing quality of the form is very bad. Some fields are printed very clearly while others are blurry, as if someone took a low-resolution picture of a tax form and then photoshopped some fields. A quick google search shows that there have been many reports of this kind of scam that uses exactly the same company name (Annual Records Service).

- Cicero, NY, USA

Received letter with my newly formed LLC name stating form 5510 was a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting form and required me to pay $119 to Annual Records Service in pre-addressed envelope located at 10030 15th St. NW #366 in Washington DC 200004-1503.

- Columbus, OH, USA

Received a piece of mail requesting an annual minutes fee. The document looked rather convincing, but as a single business holder with very little activity given the company is very new and still being stood up, the request made no sense either. The language was vague as well related to several "business state laws"

- Springboro, OH, USA

We checked and there is no tenant at the 1030 15th St NW Suite #366 - that suite does not exist. The second part of the zip code 20005-1503 actually refers to an address on Church Street or Vermont Avenue - not the building at 1030 15th St. NW.

I received a letter from Annual Records Service. The form 5510 claiming I needed to pay $119 to complete my LLC’s BOI registration.

- Brooklyn, MI, USA

I was sent a return envelope and form from the Annual Records Service, 1030 15th St NW #366, Washington DC 20005-1503. The form was labeled “Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting” and had Form 5510 (Rev. January 2024) in the upper left hand corner. Above the form section, it had a blurb that said, “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.

In addition, they can be fined up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment.” After that, there was a form to fill out that looks like a general tax form asking for personal information, followed by business information, and then a signature. They asked for a check or money order be sent for $119. It asked for the check or money order to be made payable to Annual Records Service. The section with my business name and address typed out was of good quality, but the whole rest of the page was lower quality and looked like it was printed from a bad scan or low resolution pdf. The difference in quality of the font was the first thing I noticed.
