Folks looking to incorporate should be aware that there are a lot of scams in the space. Aside from this one, there are a zillion companies that will try to sell you labor law posters for ~$100 (which you can print out for free from the Department of Labor's website), and there are companies that scan public records filings for approved incorporations and automatically squat on the domain name and try to sell it back to you for $1000. Make sure you register your domain before incorporating and then transfer it from your personal account to the corporate one.
You also actually do need a registered agent, but probably not that one. I incorporated through Clerky (which is reputable, YC uses them), but it costs much closer to $1000 than $50, and then Clerky has a partnership with CSC (Corporation Services Company) to act as the registered agent. CSC itself will try to upsell you on various services that you don't technically need.
