From Your List Manager:
To All List Members New and Old alike,
Please be aware of the scams and fraudulent websites
that will only take you money and give you nothing in
return. Although one man was arrested and charged with
Fraud, money laundering and more in 2003, he is at it again.
He is one of the worse on the Internet. Changing his
website name often, to throw you off guard.
He has a great looking homepage, which "looks real"
I get email ads from his sites all the time.
Most often you are told of a new genealogy site and for
XX amount of money you can get information there on
your families. The site is empty except for a bogus index
page.
There are several GOOD Genealogy sites that have paid
links but most of them have some areas that are free too.
So be careful and Ask others before you "join a site"
I like NEWGEN-L for asking Genealogy questions, but there
are many others where you can asks questions before you
buy.
My advise to new (and old) researchers is READ the news
letters at Rootsweb, Ancestry, Familytreemaker and About
Genealogy to name a few of the better ones. You can also
subscribe to get some of these by email.
STAY ALERT!
DONT WASTE YOUR DOLLARS!
