ACSO: Watch out for Form 5102 scams

From Sheriff Gary Roy
Adair County Sheriff's Office

Just received information that a resident has received a Form 5102 in the mail. It is an official-looking document, but is a scam. Do not complete this form or pay any fees and do not give out any personal information.

If you receive one of these letters, throw it away.


The US Treasure Department web site cautions:
Correspondence that references a "Form 4022" or "Form 5102" is fraudulent. FinCEN does not have a "Form 4022" or a "Form 5102." Do not send BOI to anyone by completing these forms.
More information is available at oig.treasury.gov/fraud-alerts.
