Fake family trees online may trip up genealogists

Money! Money! Money! What a sad state of affairs we have before us every day. The lust for money seems to outweigh honesty, ethics, morality...causes even formerly honest, hardworking people to look at easy ways to make money, whether moral or not. Religion is a good thing, but business is business seems to be the motto now days. Sad state of affairs for sure.

What goes around comes around. I hope that we Genealogist will pass the word about this bogus site.

There is always people who love to make a living by scamming someone. It's true, people do go on Ancestry.com. and copy what they see. They don't bother to check it out. One man told me that if he sees three people with the same info. that was all he needs. Well I can tell him this, if he don't check it out chances are his ancestry is not true. Now here we have someone knowlingly putting out false info. Shame Shame Shame.
