No matter what, Violeta Maczynski wants you to know that her Boca Raton company, US Passport Services, is most definitely not a scam.
So ignore the 190 complaints filed against it with the state Better Business Bureau alleging misdeeds from failure to reimburse customers to not honoring its verbal contracts with customers.
Ignore that the Better Business Bureau has allotted the passport company on NW 77th Street an ‘F’ rating, and hasn’t granted it accreditation.
Ignore that US Passport Now — an offshoot of US Passport Services — claims on its site that it’s housed in a swank and official-looking office building – when its actual accommodations are pedestrian.
Ignore that the company’s president, Marek Maczynski, is a former priest booted from the the Orlando diocese, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Maczynski was removed from his duties at Holy Name of Jesus in Indialantic in 2005 after more than $10,000 went missing from the church’s coffers. (Maczynski apologized and returned the money, the newspaper reported, and no charges were filed against him.)
