I registered a business entity in California and there's a company in Sacramento that does that. They send you a letter asking you to pay them a large fee to file your officer report (which you have to do anyways, but the real fee is much lower). It's all very official government looking paperwork with a government sounding name and an address in Sacramento. I was nearly fooled until I looked it up online.

So they impersonate a state agency to collect a real fee but then overcharge for it like they're doing you a favor? How is this crap legal?
