Read last night that some test are stopped as of now. Don't remember but was only on ancestry site. Unfortunately not even sure I wasn't on a bogus site. Do I sound paranoid, I am. You do not understand what I went through and still do. Like logins and I'm really careful as I called and talked to ancestry. I had found I had two accounts I didn't make with no profile.

Ahh. I have a copy of my bank account right here, they did that to me too. I called - got them to drop the extra account and give back the funds they took. being careful is not paranoid. Yes, they can spoof web pages, people do it all the time and people try to use ancestry for their own gains as well by playing tag on their name.

I was on the phone with Familytreedna this morning. They are continuing the dna collection. I used them to begin with. I think one of the reasons that Ancestry probably quit doing the dna is, that I know a number of people that were confused about who was doing what. Because Ancestry .com owns the Family Tree Maker program, it was easy to assume that FTdna was also a part of their domain, but it isn't.
