I googled how to renew my passport online and clicked on the website US Passport and Visa.Org. I did not catch that it wasn’t a government website until I completed the application fully and tried to process payment. Fortunately my payment would not got through. That prompted me to read more thoroughly on the site and discovered it wasn’t the US government passport renewal site. I had already supplied my personal information- all of the same information that is required for a US passport- name, address, social security number, upcoming travel dates planned, existing passport number, etc. I then researched the website and discovered it was a scam site.
