Hi Everyone:
I just got a reply from my complaint, quoting partly:
"I received the information about
familydiscovery.com from our county
attorney's this morning with a request to check everything out. ...
<stuff snipped here>
I would imagine
that there might be a scam operating....."
I need to call the detective today.
Can everyone who is on any general genealogy mailing list please send a
message asking if there is anyone who has had any dealings with this
outfit
to write me personally?? I have one message now. It would also help if
they
will also add the line to their message that I can forward their
messages
to the authorities. The more ammo I can feed to them, the quicker we can
get this resolved.
