GENEALOGY LIST BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I copied this from another list. This lady had gotten an email from these
people and she thought it was a good deal so she used her debit card to pay
for it, when she tried to access it she could never get thru, when she tried
to get some one to talk to she never could, so she started going thru
different channels . So this is the results.I also have received email from
these people and just deleted them because I already had a good program,
Thank goodness I deleted them. Pat Reese Oelslager

I have had so many wonderful responses and lots of help trying to get
this scam out in the open so that no one else will get "taken". Thanks
so much to everyone who has given me some advice.

I hadn't used my credit card, so there was no way that I could get it
reversed. I had used paypal and had it automatically debited from my
checking account. I did contact paypal, and I want all of you to know
that I just now received an email that they caught up with the person
responsible and that I will have my money back in my account tomorrow!!!

I know that many of you have alerted different fraudulent activity
groups. I really appreciate that, as I don't want anyone else being
taken advantage of. I do know that this person left a phone number of
319-329-2117 which is a town of Ely, Iowa, right outside of Cedar
Rapids. Their answering machine says Work from your Home... send a SASE.
The email address is . The website is
www.genealogyexperts.com.
Please be alert to this. I have been told that they also use these
sites:
Genealogydevelopments.com
genealogyexperts.com
genealogy-express.com
genseeker.com
genseekers.com
genealogyfinders.net
genealogyfinders.com
familydiscovery.com

Please... warn all your genealogy buddies to stay away from them. I was
very lucky. I didn't think I'd ever see my money again, but I know that
I learned a very valuable lessom from this! I hope that I got the
message out in time to save others from the same situation. Let's keep
this "junk" out of our wonderful family history sites!

Again, thanks to everyone who helped me out and advised me as to where
to turn! Jan Rutledge Roggy
