Ah! if so, let me 'quietly' tell you it is safe to search for passport renewals on google, yes 24/7 now...would you like to try again ?

I didn't have any problems when I did mine back in 2007. I found it all perfectly safe.

hpuse,

- Passport licence is still showing in the search results
- Driving licence renewal is a paid ad
- Tax return is a paid ad
- Visa application is a paid ad

Just did and "passport direct" came up.

But the screenshot of the same failed to come up this time along with your post, Powerful_Rouge?

Did you know - google has the "power" to remove search results?

Now, you tell me - who is trying harder, passports copycat's holly-heaven duping market isn't there anymore!.
Does that make someone like you feel safe while applying for passport online?

Oh, moving the goal posts yet again! You asked people to search which I did and came across a passport renewal site in the search results. Well ive just checked and its still there.

Ive never disputed Google has the power to remove these results.

I always feel safe when ordering anything online - I read what im about to purchase and dont just hand my money over willy nilly.

Thats your best reply when I highlight there are still many many paid ad's on Google for these so called copycat sites?

Nice way of avoiding giving a proper answer.

This site is not about "I", i.e "you".
This site is all about treating and respecting money and people, and some of them of course are careless in reading, i.e the vulnerable section, unlike "you".

However, there is no room or excuse for creating or justifying a business or trade that exists merely to exploit such vulnerable people. This very own 100 page thread is a prime example that people with such ulterior motive are still lurking around in this forums and thread.

Now think for yourself - why passport copycat ads were removed by Google, so their search ranking were demoted. Do you get that?

Don't get ahead of yourself - the thread is only 98 pages so far.

But I think someone has hijacked your account - your post above is almost legible.

I think i'll be the judge of whether this site is for me or not.

Just because someone is "careless in reading" dosent make them vulnerable.

Passport renewal is still showing up in the first page of search results. There are still ads for driving licence renewal, tax returns and visa applications - Do you get that?
