Here is a message from another list (with permission). Read it carefully
and then be on the alert for these emails. Please do not discuss this on
the list..... just don't fall for this scam (I've already seen a few of
these "offers" popping up in my mailboxes...)

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.
