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: abuse@prodigy.com 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. -- Linda Emerson Coordinator - Union Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/townships/Union.htm ==== PAERIE Mailing List ==== Welcome to the PA-Erie Mailing List ============================== Visit Ancestry's Library - The best collection of family history learning and how-to articles on the Internet. http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library --part1_f3.82505b6.27da58ac_boundary--

    3. Everyone should know that the mail below is some kind of hoax. I sent my familyhistory.com spam letter to the email listed below (abuse@prodigy.com) and it was returned because this is not a valid email address. This should not have been posted to a genealogy site to begin with. I am very confused as to why the sender posted this spam. It appears that several of the Rootsweb email groups have been getting this. Please do not pass it on yourself to anyone.
