Scam Description
When you search for Global Entry Application, this website was the first few results for me. Their website and application poses as the application for Global Entry. If you are unfamiliar with the Global Entry website, as I was, you will not notice this is not the true government website. They take your personal information (full name, birthday, address, passport number, passport issue date and passport expiration date), then they follow-up with an email indicating that your application has been submitted and providing a PassID and application number. However, no such application exists.
Also, the price for a global entry application is $100. They are charging $195. This is a scam and their website should be removed. I filed a scam case with my credit card in hopes of getting my money returned. However, the loss of the PII is irreparable.
