Description

This website models itself after government websites used to complete a passport application. It is a sponsored site on google. I had started my application on the legitimate government site, went to gather necessary materials, and the application had timed-out by the time I can back. When attempting to pull up the application again, I accidentally clicked on the deceptive link (uspassportandvisa.org) and started to fill out information. The website looked similar and I did not notice the difference at first, but became confused why the price at the end was different ($67 rather than $130 for an actual passport). I did not end up being charged but I am concerned about having entered sensitive information into this site. After searching for information about this site, I found out that many people did pay the fee for a misleading service that they do not have the authority to provide.
