Terry,
In a nut shell, I know my responsibilites as a consumer as well as my
rights, In investigate everything. I tell my children to do this...educated
them this way. Since men communicate in principles and rules and women
communicate in relationships..everything they have to say is connected with
someone else because basically they have been taught to be caretakers and
not how to take care of themselves, I don't think anyone is GOD...if God was
a woman, we would have gotten directions on how to do everything, but since
GOD has to has to be a man, we have to learn (and sometimes the hard way) to
make sure we KNOW HOW TO PROTECT OURSELVES...Rhonda Houston

Rhonda,
You think that they're next to God, I think they're garbage. You can
testify on their behalf when the fraud complaint comes up. We're
standing by it and our documentation. It's been over 2 weeks and we
havn't seen our money even though we have a concellation confirmation.
They state that the hold up is the CC company, the CC company says
that they process all credits within 24 hours. We've received credits
before and have had the money back in our account within 24 hours.
Ancestry.com has NOT stopped lying.
But it's because of people like you that allow scam artists to keep
getting away with their schemes.
Am I bitter? Yes. I want my money back. It took them less then 24
hours to steal it and it's been over 2 weeks and I still don't have
it. Frustrating to have to beg for your own money back.
