Good evening listmembers,
It's your favorite genealogy watchdog here again. Today I received an
email
from
http://www.GenSeekers.com letting me know that I was sent a
"gift"
from
"a fellow genealogist" of 5 days free access to their site.
To claim this
gift all I had to click on the order button which took me to PayPal (a
popular online payment service that I utilize often) and order at $0
charge
today however in 5 days I will automatically be charged $59.99 unless
I
cancel before then (which I will).
Here is what you get with a $59.99 subscription to
GenSeekers.com:
Data on their site - None
Use of their search engine - Which simply links to other free websites
(including GenWeb sites) you can find thru your favorite free search
engine
and/or
CyndisList.com
Books/CD's - Descriptions of a few along with surnames. You do have to
buy
the book from them to get the data though.
Benefits of membership - You get to give them $59.99!
No offense to
GenSeekers.com as I am sure they feel they are offering a
much
needed service at a great price however my suggestion:
Send the $59.99 to your favorite society or charity and go to
CyndisList.com
for your research needs.
Have a wonderful holiday!
