Hi,

Just a warning to you all. I've just applied for an ESTA (electronic visa authority for current visa waiver countries i.e. UK to be able to fly into the USA)

The correct website is: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.h...0-2CEB52A39D95

There are many scam sites and type a certain combination into google.ca and the sponsored link is a scam site. They ask for your details and credit card no. for an application guide fee !!

USA esta is free. An example of a scam site is this: http://www.esta.us/travel_authorizat...FR0SagodLicloA

Hoep the links work ? Thought I'd pass the info on, as I had to do a double take.

You make a great point. It's so easy nowadays to fool an unsuspecting user into thinking they should pay money for this service. These 'mock' sites can look convincing. The US Government should of thought of this before creating a URL (web address) that's confusing. Why not use www.esta.gov or something easier to check in the address bar?

Yes, I saw this yesterday... The trouble with it is when you type 'ESTA' into google you get this fake site near the top, and the site looks more professional (in some ways) than the U.S. government website!
