Description

I was on-line looking for the location of the U.S. Government site used to apply for global entry. I clicked on a site that I thought was a government site, but it turned out to be "service" that collected all of my data, and then asked for $100 for the Global Entry Fee and $149.95 for there service. If it was not so late (around midnight on 1/2/2024), I probably would have just stopped, but at 75 years, I was a bit slow on my realization. The site did not identify them selves on the first page, but just started a questionnaire which you expect when applying for a global entry pass (or passport for that matter). The information included my name address, driver's license, criminal background history (I have a felony conviction from 1969), and questions about future and past travel.
