I can't believe I fell for this scam. The worst part is I gave them all my personal information. They do not provide a service but just take your money. I'm talking to my credit card company first thing as well as Life Lock.
My daughter used passportusa.org to fill out her passport form online. They charged her $27 for a FREE form & gathered all her information. Sad... Now we are going to have to watch closely to make sure her identity is not stolen... Scamming Ba$tards.
I found this so easy to use. As a registered dyslexic person I find it difficult to fill out online application forms. (This my mom is doing on my behalf) so to have a service that that double check it for you and send you the correct wording back is amazing I think. Also if I had any queries on what to do next they were in the other end of the phone, ever so helpful.
My wife just fell for this scam. Luckily her credit card company flagged and prevented the transaction. They do nothing for you. If you are looking for a government website, make sure it ends in. Gov.
I consider myself to pretty savvy when it comes to spotting a Website acting as something it is not. I'm just warning others not to fall in the same trap that I did. I was falsely under the impression that www.passport-usa.com were actual representatives of the US Passport Office. They are not! I paid $69 for their service which amounted to nothing more than taking my information and filling out an application for me which is free of charge at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/*******.pdf and which I am completely capable of filling out for myself. What a ripoff!
Answer: Definitely a scam. Dispute the charge to your bank or credit card company.
Answer: File a Fraud Alert with any 1 of the 3 credit report bureaus as a precaution. US Gov has on-line guidance for this.
