Until you start selling securities publicly, corporation law in the United States is STRICTLY a state affair. The only "national" thing that small businesses are required to do is pay federal taxes. You don't have to sign up for any sort of national registry. If even Florida (home of many a scam…almost as many as Utah and Nevada) is suspicious of these people, that ought to tell you something.

It's old school PPC :) I love a good scam… but they just need one payout to make their entire mail campaign worth it. It’s old school PPC :)

The pseudo-invoice is a time-honored scam. I'm sure though that in a bigger company's bureaucracy these kinds of things get paid unthinkingly all the time.

That being said, its unfortunate nobody has registered it with BugMeNot. I would have been interested to see who had been suckered into paying the fee. It certainly looks like a scam to me.

Seriously, maybe we're in the wrong business and should look into selling links on our sites to other poor, unsuspecting blogs. :) Yeah, Punny LLC’s getting stuff from the NCRC and several other scam acronyms.

The first time I saw who it was, I got worried (she hadn't even started promoting herself or having clients). Turns out they just scan the internet for new companies. They wanted me to pay a few hundred dollars to join their network. I saw there was no benefit in it for us so I declined. The woman kept calling back, and she couldn't understand why I kept answering the phone. She wasn't the quickest grape on the bunch though.

The comapny that drew up the papers for its formation sold it to who knows how many other places for a buck. Jerks.
