Hi all,
As a wholesale tour operator we are always in contact with the authorities about fraud and prevention etc. We work with an organisation called ProfIt (Fraud Prevention in Travel) and have come across the following article..
http://www.travelweekly.co.uk/blogs/2009/02/draft---esta-stuff.html
Please read it and be informed that to apply for an ESTA is FREE. If anyone charges you for it they are fleecing you.
ESTA = FREE!
Be careful and don't pay the fraudsters!
