FamilyTreeNow

Information is incorrect. Relatives with the wrong middle initial or birth. DAY. Numerous people listed as relatives that certainly are not. What a crappy scam website to make a few bucks by placing people in danger from identity theft, stalkers and worse. Their opt out is another scam that does not work. The Attorneys General at state and federal level should put an end to this crap. Wonder if they have any money for an attorney to get? I'll bet not.

This website lists me under two names, one is my real name and another with a false initial. This was not my doing. On top of that, there's someone listed as living with for ten years and this person has never lived at that address as I know this firsthand. Furthermore, you have someone listed under another address that does not live there at all and I know this personally.

Hi everyone. Hopefully what I write here will save you some time and aggravation.

I tried manually removing my private information from this stupid familytreenow site, and it would not let me because it could not "locate" the information that it was showing about me. Ridiculous. So I emailed them and politely requested they remove my information. I received no response. So I emailed them again, with the same request. No response. Then a third time I emailed them. No response. I gave up for a while.

Then suddenly I had an idea; why not file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (which gives them a richly-deserved rating of "F"!). Lo and behold, the BBB intervened and resolved this problem within 48 hours.

So I would encourage all of you: don't fret, and don't waste your time contacting familytreenow. Just go directly to the BBB (https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started) and file a complaint.

It works!

Somehow I got linked up to the spam from familytreenow.com this site. I get spam from them every few minutes. When you go to opt out they say they will send you an email you have to reply to within an hour that they never send. This site is a hacker site with an endless loop to try to get out of. They keep sending you to the same useless opt out page where you keep repeating the same steps. Their information is also inaccurate af which is kind of funny, please whoever monitors these annoying sites do something to make it stop!

So just so you understand. I was using this DNA testing to double check another DNA testing company. This is a good idea too. So they send me the results back showing that I am from Western Europe, who would have known that. I mean a white person in America? No specifics like German, French, Italian, etc they did say I was partly from the British isles. Nothing like English, scotch, irish etc. So I questioned them and they made claims that the irish are not distinguishable from English. A total lie, other DNA companies have that ability. So then she said they didn't so there you are, they are selling DNA testing that can't distinguish within a region. So if you are an Asian they can't tell if you are Chinese or Japanese. If you are black, yep you are from Africa (but don't ask which country). Save your money and stay away.

I ran across them too. My only suggestion on getting them out of the Internet is to complain to Google and other Search Engines
This is their Registar

There is a problem in that the website is located in New Zealand. So they are a bit removed from any complaints not originating in the USA. I would suggest complaining to Google and other Search Engines to that their information will be removed from the searches.

Your company listed Tanya Bryant aka Tonya Bryant aka LaTonya Bryant as our family member! She's a suspect in Vicki L Tolbert's identity theft case shes NOT Related to my family! And the other people on her family tree are NOT Related to us or my uncle James Manley Tolbert! I guess your company just wants to sell people information so bad you don't care that your website has wrong information and linking people family members with criminals and FAKE Family members!

FAMILYTREENOW.com is a scam genealogy website. They will take your information and publicly post it without your consent to the internet and sell it to anyone even other identity thieves and you won't ever see a dime.

As long as these thieves can make money off you, they will continue to do so. In my case, my stalkers (sister & brother team - Amy Lynette N. And Michael Alan D.) shared my personal information WITHOUT my consent on this genealogy website as a tool to harass, stalk and seek revenge. How do I know it is them? The tracks they have left behind and keep leaving behind. It's been over 2 years now. SMH

Regardless, this website should be held accountable and not allow psychotic nut jobs to add someone else personal and private records without their consent. Genealogy websites claim they get your information from other public databases which is not all true, (pay attention to the wording in their terms and privacy policy... what a joke!)

Anyone can add your personal information in several ways. One way is by downloading a special type of software to build a family tree, add all your personal data to that family tree then share it with these identity thieving websites which they will end up selling it to anyone. Another way is by going to these genealogy websites and starting up a family tree simply by adding your name and your personal data and anyone else data they want to include, even if it's inaccurate. How do I know all this? Again, the tracks both stalkers keep leaving behind.

If you request to have your personal data removed, like I have, they should honor it and remove it, but they won't. If they refuse to remove your personal info, you should file a complaint with your state attorney general, Federal Trade Commission, FBI, law enforcement and Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3.) The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). I've already filed complaints and reports against these websites and my stalkers.
