Beware of birthcertificatetoday.com and easybirthcertificate.com Scams

birthcertificatetoday.com is a site that charges you $19.99 just to get a link to VitalChek.com, which is a legitimate source for ordering vital records.

Their site tries to look official, and the fine print at the bottom even tells you what they are going to do, spelling and grammar errors aside.

They say they are PayPal verified, and lead you to believe that you’re paying through PayPal, but I don’t believe either is true. The PayPal image isn’t even hosted by PayPal.

Another site, probably owned by the same people, is easybirthcertificate.com. Same deal, $20 for just a link to what you can get for free.

Buyers beware of this scam, unless you enjoy paying $20 just to get a link you could google for in 5 seconds…

My fortune: “You think that is a secret, but it has never been one.”

So does everyone really know about the eggplant and the goat? Oh no.

Run iTunes on Vista/Windows 7 and get the “Please wait…” every time it starts up? This fix worked for me: http://bit.ly/Egu9m
