GENEALOGY-DEVELOPMENTS.COM
Looks like a reincarnation of FamilyTreeDiscovery.net or FamilyDiscovery.com or whatever.
Will these bogus "database sites" that are really lists of re-packaged links never go away?

Hi Dave,
As long as P.T. Barnum continues to be right, and what he is right about continues to plague internet genealogy, these sites will live on forever. |

Figured out how to hit these rascals where it hurts...
some of us are complaining to PAYPAL about giving this group an account based on the fact that when you do a "who is" on them the mailing address listed for their server is bogus and the only email provided is a hotmail account. We also have complained that the company is harvesting email addresses and sending out spam. From "Paypal" Thank you for contacting PayPal. Thank you for bringing this spam incident to our attention. We will investigate this incident fully and suspend the account of any PayPal user who has violated our Anti-Spam policy. PayPal's referral program is meant to encourage people to introduce the benefits of PayPal to their friends and family, and to people they transact with online. It is not intended to encourage spam. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your reporting of it."

Congrats to RBVG!
Anyone who finds a way to legally strike back at these scam-merchants has made a difference in the Genie-world. They will re-appear, but at least you have done something constructive to make them disappear for a while. High Fives from YW |

Chicago, ILL 60611 <INVALID ZIPCODE!>
I checked the zipcode, and it seems to be a valid one for Chicago. Could the problem have been that ILL should have been just IL ? Some of us old fogies remember when Ill. was normal Regardless of the correctness of their alleged address, a pox on these genealogical vultures. |

Will they never go away/Ancestry version | ||
|
The Ancestry version of these fun little sites is the spam newsletters that Ancestry sends you. I unsubscribe to them as they come in under the (probably false) belief that they will unsub me.
And still they come.... Maybe John Carpenter will make a flick about these little charms. Jeff |
