usps-change-address.com United State Postal Service Fake Postal Service Change $20.00 Rip Off for a free Service Yep I fell for it-Because it looks like the United States Postal Service Internet

While I haven't and am not going to go look for this site to see how legit it looks, I would like to remind everybody that the op stated they were "in a hurry" when this took place.

You dont know the author's personal situation that would make them have to get a temporary change of address in a hurry.  But being in a hurry is often related to stress and being stressed can often cause one to make mistakes.

It is true that people should be extra careful and read the fine print when dealing online.  And I think the op should get credit for warning others about this.  After all I think this site was created as a "consumers helping consumers" site and not a "consumers bashing other consumers who made a mistake" site.

I wonder if any of you guys have been "ripped off"?

Well, I went to the indicated site.
It took me all of 3 seconds to determine it was not a genuine USPS site.

And, there is no ripoff here.
The site clearly discloses they are NOT in any way affiliated with the USPS, and they give their actual registered business name.

All you had to do was stay awake and read!

Here is the info directly from the bottom of the main page of the site:

It was all very clear to me.

What's the problem?

  I didn't see any USPS logos on that site, or anything else that indicated that it might be the real USPS.   The bottom of the page says :

"The information provided in this site is not affiliated with the United States Postal Service"

  The copyright notices also list a company called Change of Address, LLC.


  While I agree it's silly to pay a 3rd party for a simple change of address, the site itself doesn't look anything like a real USPS site.

The actual post office is telling you to go online to do a change of address now.  Even when you show up in person and ask for a change of address form, they will try to refer online.  All because they keep the real forms behind the counter now because they have coupons in them.  You almost have to threaten violence to get one. 

I was lucky, I found an online site that wanted to charge a dollar.  I even thought that was kindof fishy so I called up the post office and they said "yeah its a dollar" I said "its free if I come and get the form right" they said yes so I went in and demanded my form.

Demand and get your form even if you have to go postal!
