Description

Received this form in the mail: A '2025 - Alabama Certificate of Good Standing' that is labeled 'Time-Sensitive' and provides a Key Code and a file number, identifies my LLC by name, and requests that I return a check for $87.25 in order to receive a certificate of good standing. However, 'Form BDC10.883(1)' - the name of the form sent to me - does not exist on Alabama government websites as a valid form type. Furthermore, the document provides a bogus URL - http://www.alabama.gov/lara/bureau-list/cscl/corps/forms - which is clearly meant to deceive, even though the page itself look like a five-year-old's first web development program... a blank white page with an uneven list of clickable text. Good show! The mailer included a return envelope, or it provides a QR Code with the message 'Scan Here for Expedited Service' which is undoubtedly for digital/expedited payment.
