Greetings from down under.
Well it seems Ancestry.com has spread its wings across the pond to Australia. I was phoned by my bank the other day to be told that someone had signed me up to the 'Those who have been ripped off by Ancestry.com club'. $550 bucks is a pretty steep membership fee, but what can I do.
I think I know what happens with these family tree sites. When you type in your date of birth, surname, mothers maiden name etc. It's enough info for the fraudsters to find out more about you. Warn everyone you know not to go anywhere near these types of sites.
Anyway I spoke with my bank and I have to fill in a few forms but hopefully I can get my money back, at my banks expense which isn't really fair.
What gets me is why is this ancestry.com site still running. It's been operational for the last 5 or 6 years. Do the American authorities even care? Or is it run by the Russians?
Anyway like I said spread the word about these tricksters and have a nice day.
