Hi all .. I received this from another web list I subscribe to .. I hope none of you on this list have been victimized by these "people", and if you do receive anything from this "company" that you will report it to the address in the following message. Thanks Dick Schweiss (List Admin.) Brown County, MN Mail List ... [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- Subject: [PAERIE] Genealogy Spam Update Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 07:28:46 -0800 It looks like the fictitious Family Discovery genealogy service has moved to Prodigy now. I contacted Prodigy this morning and they have asked that anyone who receives solicitation email from familydiscovery.com to take the following steps immediately: 1) Forward the entire Family Discovery message to: [email protected] 2) Include the following information (most of which was provided by Rita from the Oconto County, WI list): "Please note that the attached message is now being sent through your ISP service. They have been reported to various State Attorney General's Office on computer fraud, but it is hard to catch up with them. Originally the "company" linked to free information sites and placed the pages in "frames" so that it looked like it was their own work. Customers paid for that information. The scam, now, is paying for the free information links and then they "move" frequently and leave their paid-up customers without services." 3) Post these same instructions on any other lists today so that Prodigy has a better chance of finding the spammers.
