This is similar to scams you face when registering for a small business in some (all?) US states. Official-looking compliance documents physically mailed, and emailed. The gist is the same: They shadow official forms, with a large markup. There is always fine print explaining that they are not associated with the state etc, but their business model is to fool their targets into thinking they are a state agency.

There's a similar scam for UAV registration.
