Gov+ (www.bbb.org)

Gov+ is a scam site (govplus.com) which takes a $98 TSA Precheck application fee and provides nothing in return. When you go to the actual TSA Pre-Check appointment, you are asked to pay the fee there. Once I shared that I had already paid Gov+, I was told that was a scam site and the $98 actually does not apply toward the TSA Precheck application at all. I have attempted to contact them on several occasions to request a refund and they are completely unresponsive.

Dollars Lost $98

FYSA, BBB is also a scam. Its functionally Yelp for businesses. Businesses can pay to get a better rating.
