If you google 'usps change of address' on an Android phone, the top hit will be an add that brings you to a scam service that will do the change of address for you. If you go to it on mobile, it looks very similar to the USPS change of address form (uses similar style and the same colors).

Turns out, it is a scam. You fill out the same form as the official one, but they file it for you. But instead of it costing $1.80, it costs $80.

I did a little more digging and it turns out they have an F rating with the BBB, and I was also able to find the owner of the company. It's one guy who specializes in fighting chargebacks. He literally has a site called 'Chargeback Gurus' where they consult businesses in fighting chargebacks.

So I have a feeling my chargeback is not going to work. So my question is, am I just out of luck or is there something else I can do? I'll still try a chargeback obviously, but I'm not counting on it.
