My Florida Specialty Plate (Myplatefl.com) Stolen Money By License Plate Fraud Florida

 While I wish that there was a little bit better communication I did receive my new license plate. Apparently it was sent to the wrong address but the mail got it figured out. Mr Towner apologized to me and I appreciate him for doing that. This was a simple process and legitimate, I just wish that there was appropriate address unfortunately somebody wrote a 7 at some point even though on my receipt there is a 2 but everything worked out and I have my new license plate

So then...you are claiming they've stolen your money and misrepresented themselves, right?  If you don't get your plate then its fraud.  However, there are some interesting items on their website which are VERY easy to see.  First in the URL...you will see it ends as a ".com".  If it was a State of Florida site, it would have ended as a ".gov".  Easy to see.  Then lets scroll down to the bottom of the page.  Here is what it says with black on white printing in capital letters and certain words in boldface as reproduced:  "THIS IS A PRIVATELY OWNED WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES A SERVICE THAT IS NOT OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY COUNTY, STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY..."  Again, easy to see.  Quite frankly, you should be upset and by that, be upset with yourself because YOU failed to identify who you were dealing with when the evidence to that effect was staring you in the face.

Nobody should pay for something which is provided free of charge by a government agency and nobody should pay extra for a service when they can go directly to a government agency and get it done without a surcharge.  A smart consumer ascertains exactly who they are dealing with BEFORE they agree to deal with them.
