Subject: [KSCowley] Fwd: Genealogy Scam
fyi,
"The 5 Day Trial is 100 % Free for the First 5 Days - Cancel Before End
of Trial and Nothing will ever be billed. We Require Billing Information
to distinguish users from one another"
Anyone requiring financial info for a "free" intro is highly suspicious.
[NOTE: this is not RootsWeb GenSeeker --

It is reported elsewhere that:
The
FamilyDiscovery.com Scam IS BACK!
Also Known as:
genealogydevelopments.com
familydiscovery.com
genealogyfinders.com
genealogyfinders.net
aboent.com
genlocator.com
genseeker.com

genealogy-express.com
familysearch.com

GenealogyExperts.com
This information comes from the State Coordinator of
the Rootsweb System.
A genealogy scam is at
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.
This note is passed onto the list subscribers about
this web site.
Please be aware.
Permission is granted to pass this on.
