Title: Another Dummie Outsmarted

I got ripped off...

I was looking at Google for a source to get my birth certificate replaced, (the old one is in fragments,) and I went to a place in Sugar Land, Texas called "iVitalRecords."

They took my $59, and have left me in the lurch.
I call the number they provide, no answer.

No return on e-mails.

And no promised actions from the "company."

And the BBB gives them a really bad rating.
This is after many people have been burned including me, the "company" has a fictitious "address," and will readily lie about their "service."

I went to the county register of deeds I was born in, and paid for a new birth certificate.
Waiting for that now.

Update: New birth certificate arrived in the mail today from the county I was born in.

And the Sugar Land Texas "company" that burned me out of $59 can just go (bleep) themselves.

first off, why do you need a copy of your birth certificate?  I thought you people believe that any form of ID is racist.

second, iVitalRecords didn't take your money and leave you in a lurch.  You paid for something in advance to a company you knew nothing about and ended up in the short end....caveat emptor

What is so :spork: ing hard about calling the records department in the relevant state/county and learning what their process is for obtaining such documents? For my part, I just drove to the courthouse of ______ County (~2 1/2 hours' drive each way) and got what I needed directly, in 1/5 the time to drive there or less.

If we're lucky, Archae's goal is to get a passport and permanent residence visa in order to move to Elbonia. :-)

you know, I was reading that and thought this person HAS to be white because they all told me black folks can't find government buildings or figure out how to use the internet.

You expect a DUmmie to understand how any aspect of government works? Don't you think that's kind of a stretch?

Too funny.  I recently went on-line to see what was needed to get a duplicate birth certificate for my grandson and the commercial sites were at the top of the Google search.  It was obvious that they were scams.  Found the government site and didn't get ripped off.  Not bad for a knuckle dragging conservative, eh?

Similar here - needed a copy of my birth certificate, a quick potter on Google found the relevant government web-site, gave the necessary details and a couple of days later it arrived in the post.

Why is everything so terribly hard for DUmmies?

I know this is saying a lot, but Archae is one of the fugliest DUmmies over there.
