Rhonda,
These people have driven me crazy with their emails!
In the state of WA, it is illegal to email someone with invalid subject
headers, and invalid reply email addresses, and I have personally reported
them to the WA District Attorney's office. Perhaps if more people checked
their state email laws and made complaints also, someone would do something
about them.
www.genseekers.com is listed on
www.register.com as being:
Family Genseekers
no street address
San Diego, CA
I have also complained to the San Diego Better Business Bureau, and suggest
others do the same.
The hosting company for
www.genseekers.com is:
Software Workshop, Inc.
hostmaster(a)thebook.com
315-635-1958
so I might suggest that people email this hosting company and complain.
Just some thoughts on what I've done. I think if the BBB of San Diego and
the hosting company receive several complaints, they might do something.
Thanks,
Nancy

The old genealogy scam is back.
www.genseekers.com
Behind the password protection are links to the free
genealogy on-line. There is no content of their own.
In order to get the "5-day free trial" you have to
surrender a credit card or bank account number. You
have to cancel within 5 days or you get dinged. Guess
what? The cancellation e-mail bounces. Does this
surprise you?
One person who recently fell for the come-on had
his/her account dinged not once, but twice.
It is time to remind folks on your state and county
mailing lists about these scoundrels. It has been a
couple of years since we have mentioned this.
Permission is granted to pass this on.
