These people are scammers!

These people are scammers!
They charged me 144 dollars for a UK ETA, which costs 17 pounds. For one second I let my guard down and got scammed for more than 100 dollars.

They offered me to refund 50% of the charges, so at least that is something.
Hopefully they will actually do what they promised….

Thought I got scammed by this website - in some way I did

Thought I got scammed by this website, since I had to pay $144 instead of pounds or euros or whatever. The confirmation email leaves you no way to contact them, only through a whatsapp number that does not exist. In case you guys are reading this, cancel my order please! ETA2313031. NOT the official website for doing this. You should be able to get it right away for like 20 bucks.

It's very quick and easy to follow

It's very quick and easy to follow, however, your site quoted $170 per person, i was charged just over $200 each.
And why is it converted to US$ and then UK pound?
Don't want orange man getting a slice of it.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the process quick and easy to follow.

We would like to clarify the charges mentioned in your review. Our company is a privately owned third-party service provider that assists travelers in obtaining their UK ETA through the official UK Government system. In addition to the government fee, our pricing includes professional application support, faster processing assistance, and our ETA approval guarantee service.
The final amount charged may vary slightly due to currency exchange rates and international payment processing, which is why you may have seen the transaction converted through US dollars before appearing in UK pounds.
We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to explain our services more clearly.

Kind regards,

My first experience applying for 🇬🇧 visa 😊

Thanks a lot for your kind help.
Step by step, everything turned as I have hoped it would at the end.
And it did.
First time is the toughest I think, no having previous experience.
