Something about this makes me nervous. First, they don't even validate the entity they issue a cert to -- so if this becomes the norm then over time the value of having a cert will be (very) diluted, as it will be a guarantee that scammers will take advantage of this setup. Public trust will dissolve.

I believe certs should go the *other* direction, and have a cost that is affordable but meaningful - along with deep validation of the entity. I had to submit articles of incorporation and a utility bill, for my corporation when I got a certificate years ago. That seems ok to me.

Second, 503(c) notwithstanding, they have no real way of making money so eventually this business model is going to collapse.
