- Brooklyn, MI, USA

Address: 1030 15th St NW #366, Washington, DC 20005, USA
Country: United States
Type of a scam: Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

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.

A beneficial owner is an individual who either directly or indirectly: (1) exercise 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.

PENALTIES FOR NONCONPLIANCE:

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.” 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.

I received a letter from BOI Compliance Services addressed to my business, dated March 11, 2025 with the subject line "Subject: URGENT: BOI Reporting Requirement Reinstated - New Deadline March 21, 2025". The letter instructs me to file a BOI report by March 21 by filling out their attached form and sending in $125. The form itself claims that "Noncomplicance within 90 days of formation may result in fines of $591 per day, up to a maximum of $10,000." This is not only a lie, but an attempt to coerce me into sending them their arbitrary monetary demand, as it's clearly stated on fincen.gov as of February 25, 2025: "FinCEN announced that it will not issue any fines or penalties or take any other enforcement actions against any companies based on any failure to file or update beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports pursuant to the Corporate Transparency Act by the current deadlines."

As a second major red flag, they've used my personal mailing address as the supposed business address, which does not agree with the business office address on file. Their form is asking for my name, address, email, phone number, a copy of my driver's license (or passport), and my social security number. I'm sure if I threw them a cool $125, they'd take extra special care of such highly sensitive personal information...

They send you a letter that looks like it's from a government agency requesting a filing fee for "business reporting". It looks very real and could defiantly scare some people thinking they forgot to file a form. They threaten $500 dollars a day if you do not respond by a certain time and the date I received this letter was 3 days after they said to respond. They are 100% trying to get more money out of people if they read it carefully.
