australian-ancestry.com Site Access
The Doctor
Having just paid for:
Get LIFETIME Unlimited database access for only $99.99 AU $44.99 (best
offer!)
I want to extend my membership to Unlimited State and Federal Records for
only AU $17.99
Get access to our resources directory for only $12.99 search more than 3000
databases around the world
I expected to be able to access databases on the site, but now find that I
will have to purchase search credits on an ongoing basis. Is that correct or
did I miss something?

Think I would be asking for a refund under their money back guarantee!!!!
There is nothing on the home page to say that there are more payments
required - it seems to be false advertising, in fact it does say -
>One-time charge with no additional costs
>All prices shown on this page will be processed as a one-time charge

They don't seem to be connected with Ancestry.com - its a wonder that
Ancestry haven't been onto them to alter their name ! Every page
takes you to the joining page. It looks like a bit of a rip off to
me - could be wrong though.

I have come across the following website which claims you can search a
huge range of records in the U.S.
There is of course, a cost.
Has anyone had any information or contact with this website, and if
so, what is your opinion?
It sounds very good, but just how big or comprehensive their
collection is, can probably only be discovered
by biting the bullet and paying up ... unless someone has already done
so ???

Hi Margo
This looks abit like
http://www.australian-records.com/. This one costs US$10 more but
seem to have a similar range of 'records '
One of my husbands gt x 2 gfathers was an American. Have done quite
alot of research in American records and never needed anything like
these 2 web sites . People on local US mailing lists can be so
helpful .............. Rootsweb has a large range of data bases......
Cyndislist is massive ......... RAOGK is excellent etc etc
Freerecordregistry seems to be a bit of a misnomer when you have to
pay to access it as is australian-records that has few AUS records
Neither would get my money
end:
I think you got what you paid for :-)

I think we can be pretty well sure these sites are scams. It appears that
anyone who has paid up has been a victim of the Russian Mafia.
The only sites that we can be sure have real records are the Ancestry
ones, Find My Past, Genes Reunited, Official Government Sites, etc.
Please everybody, don't pay up for access to unknown websites promising
the world. It will most probably only ned in tears (and another expensive
limo for some Russian Mafia boss...)

if something is too good to be true on the net
it is usually a scam
from "about us" see
Records Partner - The Best background-check affiliate system
Get an Amazing Commission of $24.50 / Sale + BONUS. Why are we paying so
much? We want you to test your traffic on our site – so that you can see
how much ...
www.recordspartner.com/
many of these sites charge you for linking to public free sites
NEVER EVER subscribe to a site which has no snail mail office address
sorry about that

anything to do with sites which
- do not specify exactly which databases they have, covering what
years, States etc
- do not have any kind of query or help (or the help is purely
automated, or available only once you have paid)
- do not have an obvious way of unsubscribing. Once they get your
credit card number, they can charge you whatever they like whenever
they like.
Im surprised that the Fraud Squad and Business Affairs are not a lot
more active dealing with ripoffs such as gov-reports.net or Australian-
ancestry.com but for some unknown reason they seem to think the
internet is open slather and do not seem to be devoting any resources
at all.

shonky to me !

I went to one recently offering any certificates from Australia, including
ones officially unavailable. When I went to the pull-down menu of States,
the States in the list were U.S. ones! Useless.
