Type of a scam: Government Agency Imposter

The scammers use small companies who recently applied for LLC , they state you need to have a certificate from the business compliance division (cost $87.25). Making the letter look official like it is coming from the government with a Document number and the business name. It doesn't state that it is a 3rd party company and that you can apply directly for a certificate if needed. This company is therefor scamming people into believing they have no choice but to pay the fee. I looked them up to find out that they are not affiliated with the government.

Type of a scam: Government Agency Imposter

I just recently formed my business in the state of Florida on 10/16/2024. I received a letter in the mail stating that I need to obtain a Certificate of Status document that is used to help secure business loans, etc. through this organization and that it would cost $87.25 for the service. At first, I was frustrated to think I would need to pay something else. However, I decided to investigate further and I found that I can get the aforementioned document directly from the Secretary of State for $5. Note, the scam says that it would take several weeks to receive the document if you order it through them. However, the document can be emailed by the Secretary of State in much less time.
