Ridgewood NJ, If it’s time to renew your vehicle registration or driver’s license, here’s an FYI from the DMV: Imposter websites that promise to handle your paperwork could lead you down a dangerous road. Sites like  www.renewregistrations.org disguise themselves as legitimate Department of Motor Vehicles, recently popped up in as many as nine states, all on the East Coast. According to AARP many of these sites have since vanished into cyberspace after warnings by state officials, but new ones may appear.

Officials are urging consumers to avoid the sites. They may fail to deliver what they promise or overcharge for what they do deliver. And some are seeking information that could expose customers to identity theft or make you think you renewed your car registration but actually did not .
Such sites promise to process new and renewal vehicle registrations, and sometimes driver’s license applications. In essence, they act as middlemen, charging an extra fee of $25 or so for performing the same online services that motorists can do themselves, usually in a few minutes.
One such site is renewregistrations.org , owned by Pirate Media LLC 14261 SW 120th St #103-233 ,Miami, FL 33186 USA, 

The AARP warns that if you have used one of these services, contact your state DMV and state attorney general and alert your credit card issuer. Pay especially close attention to monthly credit card statements to spot unauthorized charges and run your credit report six to eight weeks after that transaction.If you want to renew vehicle registrations online, access your official state DMV website by checking for it on your driver’s license or current vehicle registration, or through your state government’s official website.

  1. Prior to reading your blog I think I was a victim of this fraudulent web site. The name of it is http://www.renewalregistration.org. I have since canceled my debit card.
