It's FAFSA.gov; Not FAFSA.com

High school students looking to file for the government's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) have been paying $79.99 to file with Student Financial Aid Services, Inc.

There's only one problem: Student Financial Aid Services is not affiliated with FAFSA (Fafsa.gov).  Its similar domain name (Fafsa.com) led some students to believe otherwise. There are many financial aid services similar to Fafsa.com. Some are cheaper, and others are more expensive, but none of them are necessary.
