Personally, my first encounter with Ancestry.com was when my credit card company called and said somebody had fraudulently charged about $400 on the site. I don't think the company itself was involved but there are dozens, if not hundreds of people that have been fraudulently charged the same amount...to the penny. I am willing to believe that Ancestry.com is not behind these crimes, but I bet some of their affiliates are. This makes it Ancestry.com's problem because that just the name on that transaction triggered the fraud alert with my bank. Not exactly a good reputation for any business. Maybe the new owners will figure out how to clean it up a little bit.
