    3. Hello Everyone... One of my lists is really buzzing about www.genseekers.com There are people in the USGenWeb Project that are saying that they were scammed by these people. That the email doesn't work, that in the past the address has been a phony and so has the telephone number..... So... I'm passing the following email on to this list also... Darilee Joy Fisher wrote ********** Hi Everyone: The old genealogy scam is back. www.genseekers.com Behind the password protection are links to the free genealogy on-line. There is no content of their own. In order to get the "5-day free trial" you have to surrender a credit card or bank account number. You have to cancel within 5 days or you get dinged. Guess what? The cancellation e-mail bounces. Does this surprise you? One person who recently fell for the come-on had his/her account dinged not once, but twice. It is time to remind folks on your state and county mailing lists about these scoundrels. It has been a couple of years since we have mentioned this. Permission is granted to pass this on.
