Description
My wife googled exactly "passport renewal" and the first link that came up was "uspass-pic.com". It was a Sponsored link. First question is why would this come up first instead of what comes up when you google "us passport renewal" which the top response should be "travel.state.gov"? I think we are totally screwed, they charged her $88 and gave her every piece of our MY personal information: SS #, email address, birthdate, birth city and state, parents death dates, credit card, old passport number, home address, wife's phone number. Have no idea what to do first. We are going to call our banks, our credit cards companies, our insurance company to see if we have coverage for identity theft, Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, FBI. Pls help us figure out all the steps we need to take.
