Scam Description
I wanted to renew my passport application online as it expired. I searched for how to do this online and found this website: https://www.myusatraveldocs.org/. I thought this would enable me to renew my passport but this was not the case. All it does is verify the information and then provides me the form I need to send to the US government. So I paid them $89 for nothing. I should have looked more carefully to find the site on the United States government page but it wasn’t until I received an email from them that I realized I didn’t need to go through the website named above.
This is a scam to me in that they accept money that does not apply to the passport application. I found it myself but they should be blocked.
