Online Vital US O.V.U.S. (Onlinevitalus) This company appears to be completely legitimate until after they've charged you $50.00 (USD)

First mistake - I searched online for birth certificate.

Second mistake - I trusted what looked to be a legit site and filled out the form and paid the requested $47.00

Wait!  Hold on!  So I can complete what process - you took my money - what other process is there to complete. 

....wait for it...

Relization that I'd been had - email with a generic pdf with my information filled in telling me that in order to get my birth certificate I needed to print out and sign the pdf along with any other documents that the state required (see your states vital statistics department online or in person for this information), put it all in an envelope with any fees the state needs to process my request and - Just like that!  The state would send me my birth certificate! 

Complete and total scam!

Do not be fooled by this terrible rip-off!
