Subject: Genealogy scam-a message from a friend From: User116712 Date: February 24, 1999 If you get an advertisement from someone by the name of Bonnie Mansfield, 430 #1 Rick Court, Ridgecrest, CA 93555, offering to sell you "never before published information" on family histories and DAR records for ONLY $25.00 - don't bite! I did and I am so angry at myself I could scream. I'm not usually one to fall for scams, but believe me I bit on this one hook, line, and sinker! What I got for my 25 bucks was 2 folders with hand written sheets giving me last names, book numbers, and in some cases page numbers. BUT, if you want to see what information is in each of those "histories" you have to send an additional $3 to a different person. Oh well, serves me right - I know better than to trust everything I hear and read. You might pass this info on to everyone you know. She got my $25, but I don't want her to get anyone elses. ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
