We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Shell companies filing incorporation papers with fake addresses are a thing. If you think that the bizAddy listed on some website is the end all of verifying a company as legit, then you're still susceptible to being scammed.

There are plenty of services offered to companies that provide a physical address that is nothing more than a wall of mail boxes and a person on staff to sign/accept packages while providing a physical address that gives the appearance of legitimacy.

Usually the best way to verify the company is either look Google Maps street view or look for address in EU lists (in EU).

With shell company you might be able to get scammed indeed, but that already makes it much harder and rises the bar.
