“Fraud: Never provided results and did not refund the money”

Inge B.
4/14/21

TeloYears Advanced Ancestry was purchased for me as a gift from a friend. I sent the test to TeloYears in Dec 2019 and my experience became very similar to what was described in the other reviews here: no test results, emails exchanged, excuses for being busy and promises for delivery, and when after more than 18 months I asked for results or refund, their customer service stopped answering. In short: $100 were stollen.

Despite submitting my results twice I've never heard from the company. My calls are not answered nor are my emails.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my money back.

Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your money.

Products used:
None. I never got the results

Months pass with no response. Do not answer emails. Do not return phone calls.

Maybe this used to be a reliable company but it is not these days!

Don't recommend. Bought advanced ancestry as a birthday gift (!). Was told it takes 6-8 weeks. After 6 weeks no follow up from the company. When I wrote to them, I was told in condescending tone that they notified me initially about 6-8 week processing time. Ok, after week 8 I have to follow up again (no communication from Teloyears!). Now I receive an email saying that their lab is too busy, and they don't even tell me when the results will come (birthday gift, mind you!). Ok, after week 10 still nothing from them, and not even a courtesy email. So we lost patience and requested a refund. And the funniest thing is, they deducted $20 (!) of shipment cost, when it was clearly their fault - why accepting so many orders if your lab cannot process them in the time that you guarantee? When I sent an inquiry, they simply ignored my email. Never again, and don't recommend to others. There are so many companies these days who offer DNA testing, I'll definitely go to someone else.
