It is not only Facebook we must be on guard about. A few weeks ago I found a person on Ancestry.com who I believed had information on my family line. I wrote to him, and had a quick response. But the person never offered any additional information. To make a long story short, he replied with his name reversed The first name became his last and the last his first. I thought it strange, I apparently had just picked a random name on a family tree and was waiting for someone to answer at which time he attempted to get more information about me. Also, I live in the United States and never have received spam email from the United Kingdom, but the same day my email box was filled with mail from England most all of which showed up in Spam file. All of which was from individuals with all type of what I was sure were scams. My email box was filled everyday for a few weeks, and all from different places in Nottinghamshire. It included one well known ploy to get a huge amount of money. One of those in which the person clamis to know of a huge amount of money deposited in the bank where he works ,the owner having died and the money will revert to the government but which he has access to without anyone being the wiser. I would get millions for giving him the name of my bank and account number so it could be re-deposited here in the States. I had the same type from another country a few years ago, and was even told that someone would come here to receive the money from me, and then I could fly back with them free to be there when they made the withdrawal. I could just imagine they would take my money and I would be tossed out of the plane over the ocean!! The thing that bothered me was that Ancestry.com is now being used to get names and dates and other personal information along with wiping out a persons bank account. I dropped out of Ancestry. Incidentally the very week I signed up for PayPal someone targeted me to steal my identification. I went back to the bank the very next day and closed that account, but the person did not give up trying to get me to send my account information for well over a year. It is too bad that when writing to others for information on a family tree one must be very careful to stick to not sending information on the later years to what may not be cousins at all.
