I am passing this along to the list. Even though it is Halloween time
lets not treat them!!
I recently received a mailing about how my family had been in the Civil
War,and that there was now a book about them.
Buyer Beware when ordering these Civil War family history books.
Halbert's are back to their old tricks again!
Halbert's of Bath, Ohio, has come up with a new gimic. They are now using
an
address from Washington, DC, to try and peddle their wares.
Halbert's is now using the name:
"US Information Burueau NUMA" (note the spelling of Bureau)
3220 N. St, NW Ste 1400
Washington D.C. (no zip code given)"
They are advertising a book regarding all the people with your family's
surname in the Civil War. Don't be fooled. This is the same poor
craftmanship and outdated generic information in a new cover.
This time they want $49.95+ shipping and handling.
Be very, very careful!!! Don't believe their money back guarantee.
They are a real hassle to deal with.
