Hi Listers--
Another warning about this site is making its rounds and one of our listers
sent it to me.
Here are the facts as I know them...
genseekers.com costs $59.99 per year (US) for access to it's "library".
There are those who say that the library consists of links to other sites
which are usually free anyway. I have not personally tried this site, but
the index does list some existing records although I can't verify that they
are otherwise free.
The site offers a 5-day free trial but requires you give them banking and/or
credit card information. They then claim you can cancel at any time via
email before the 5 days are up. There are claims that the 'unsubscribe'
email bounces and you would get stuck with the full $60 fee. This has not
happened to me personally, but I can certainly see how it could happen.
Many of us have seen this done before, but there are so many new folks on
the list I thought it was worth passing on.
If anyone has any personal experience (good or bad) with
genseekers.com
please contact me privately at robin(a)triedit.net.
Thanks!
