Good morning list, I received this from another mailing list & thought I should pass it on to others -- especially the novice genealogist. Please beware of scams! :) Happy hunting, Helen List I wanted everyone to know about my experiences with this group and their ..."Your Extended FREE 5 Day Genealogy Trial Offer." After numerous "e-mailings" a month or so, I took them up on a 5 day free trial which required sign-up and 1 year payment. It was the only way to see what was there and although not my normal way of engaging with genealogical suppliers, I figured I could try, keep it if I liked it, or cancel if I didn't. It took me ten [10] minutes to find out there is nothing of import there on this service for me and a waste of my money. Anything they offered back on my search requests were sadly lacking compared to what I could get with a generic search engine. I am awaiting my refund and cancellation after a month of numerous unanswered e-mail. They have finally acknowledged my efforts with the statement "We have put your account under review... refunds are usually issued every 2nd or 3rd of the month. When a refund is issued it will be posted back to your paypal account." So, we shall see. By the way, they continue to 'spam' with the offer to me...even tho I chose their trial, requested cancellation and refund. I've received 3 more e-mail just this week, addressed as such... From: "Extended Offer" <GenealogyServices@yahoo.com> From: "Extended Offer" <GenealogyServices@yahoo.com> From: "Extended Genealogy" <GenealogyService@yahoo.com> From: Genealogy Unlimited <genealogyservices@yahoo.com> From: "Genealogy Extended" <GenealogyService@yahoo.com> Some of these addresses bounce and they are different. I have wondered if any of you have experienced this "outfit" and wanted caution you all to be careful, if you haven't. Regards Lee Widner lwidner@earthlink.net
