During a family trip to Massachussetts my card was "deactivated" by my bank for suspicious charges. A call to the bank revealed that someone had made TWO charges of $529 each on my card to myfamilyancestry.com, along with charges from 2 other companies. A web search found no such company or website.


Interestingly, the ONLY place I had used my card (successfully) on the trip was at a service center on the New Jersey Turnpike, where I purchased gasoline. The attendant kept my card until he was finished pumping gas. During that time, he used his cell phone to text message someone, but did not speak. Two days later, the fraudulent charges started appearing.

I noticed that 2 ripoff reports regarding myfamilyancestry.com have been filed by others, one from a person in Virginia and one from a person in Maryland. It occurred to me that many people from those states, myself included, often have occasion to travel up the East Coast, and that they most likely use the NJ Turnpike. Was that the case? Did they too use their cards at a service center?
By the way, the "company" in question is NOT Ancestry.com or MyFamily.com.
