Description
United Passport website mimics legitimate U.S. Department of State sites and claims to help customers apply for U.S. passport services for exorbitant prices. They upcharge $180 or more for services that are free on the U.S. Department sites. They require you to upload your personal photo, SSN, address, contact, and other personal information. I was in a rush and filed for a U.S. passport through their site, but received a printed application and a checklist in the mail that listed incorrect things needed to actually apply for a passport. We have to redo our work, and go to a local agency in person.
