Fake Australia eTA site charged $199 for a "guaranteed" visa

📍 Sydney, Australia

🗓️ Scam date: 22 July 2025

📝 Reported: 10 February 2026

We paid $199 each for an "express guaranteed" eTA through a lookalike site. The official app charged $20 and approves in minutes. The expensive one was real but pointless — these reseller sites are everywhere. Use the official AustralianETA app.
