Fake ESTA site charged $89 instead of $21

📍 Washington DC, United States

🗓️ Scam date: 8 March 2026

📝 Reported: 13 February 2026

The first Google result for "ESTA application" charged $89 "processing fee". The real official site is $21. The visa itself was valid but the site is a reseller — dozens of them exist. Only use the official .gov site.
