Description
I went to apply for passport - did simple Google Search and this website came up that seemed legit. Entered my information including SS, Address, Parents Information and DOB, etc. Everything you need for a passport. Then asked me to pay $68 for application processing. So I thought this was the cost of the passport application fee. Received an email with the Application Form filled out (which you can do for free on legit government website) and told me to go to local USPS and pay the fees there. They now have my personal information and Credit Card information. I attempted to email them back however the email just bounces back. Total SCAM to get your information and get free money out of you.
