Hello Doris I took your advice and contacted My Heritage and it was indeed their Sales Department ringing me. I have asked them to desist. I went back over my phone logs as far back as August and they have called me at least 20 times. I am not impressed by this kind of marketing! However they were prompt with their response and the issue has been passed on to their Privacy Department who are to make sure I receive no further phone calls.

You would do them a service by letting them know your experience.

Oh Rhonda, that is not what I expected to hear. I'm very disappointed to know that they practice this awful marketing tool. I do hope they will honor your wishes.

They unfortunately have a history of very aggressive marketing calls. It’s not the first time that it’s reported. It’s a pity because I think they do so well in all other areas that they don’t need this sales tactique.
