Description
Our business received a government Form 5102 from "Annual Records Service" with a "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting" to be submitted with a payment of $119.00. It looked very convincing, but the font was slightly irregular compared to standard government forms, and I've never heard of an "Annual Records Service." I looked into it and the FinCEN does require this form to be submitted, but there is no payment due for the filing, and is encouraged to file online. I found the scam alert on your website when I searched the address on the return envelope.
