Description
I went to google and typed in "Renew passport" and the first website that popped up was uspassportandvisa.org. I thought I was a legit website and gave all of my personal information thinking I was filling out the passport form. They emailed me a PDF which was the passport form filled out with the information that I provided. They charged $125.45 to fill out the form and send me a pdf to print and mail in. I thought I was paying for the passport renewal, but then I noticed once I received the PDF that it said to send a check or money order for the passport renewal fee. They charged to send me the form I filled out. The passport application can be filled out for free and there should not be a charge for this. The website made it seem that I was paying for the passport renewal.
