Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hi folks,
This is one of those messages that I really even hate to send, but as long
as we have crooks and swindlers out there, then we need to be aware of them.
It seems that for some time now, there has been someone masquerading as
FAMILY DISCOVERY genealogy service. This is NOT A REAL company! They take
information that is free from several sites and sell it to unsuspecting
people for $49.95, or most of the time, just get your money and do not
respond at all! My understanding is that they are currently operating on
Prodigy at this time. Anyone that receives contact from them is urged to
send the entire message, including headers, to: abuse(a)prodigy.com
Of course, if they should move to another provider, right away, notify your
provider that they are operating from there. It's a crying shame that we
have to watch our backs at every curve in the road, but as long as everyone
sticks together to fight this kind of crime, we'll all survive to continue
our research.
Fred
