Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter
This company targets and contacts businesses (mostly newly acquired) by mail, congratulating them on registering their business with the state. The business then turns around and states that there’s 1 more step to complete the registration process in order to receive a document called a "Louisiana Certificate of Status". The company stresses in the letter how "important" this document is, what it’s used for, and what is shown on the document. Finally, it asks the business to confirm and complete the bottom portion of the form, and return with $87.25.
The color of the document is yellow/gold.

I thought this was a necessary form and payment required by the Louisiana Secretary of State. The letter is very misleading and makes it seems like they are a government agency.
