Yeah, just buy those products when you're doing your genealogy.

Scams aren't new, and they will never end.
All ya can do is try to NOT fall for them.

No; they're laughing at you. They make a small profit over a large market share. They may only make 5-10$ from each kit but sell millions of kits. As opposed to making 200$ off a 300$ kit but only selling a few thousand. It called economics. If you can provide a reliable service more affordably than a competitor, you can gain a larger market share. Walmart for instance has a profit margin of ~3.5% per item after overhead. They make tons of money by having a massive market share.

Your quote of yourself..is NOT hard to understand. It has nothing to do with scams though. ^^

[UPDATE: Please be advised that this review is almost two years old. In that time, there have been several changes to AncestryDNA's product. Because those features have greatly impacted the AncestryDNA test and its usefulness, I have given a second review of those additional features. Thank you for your continued interest. I wish all of you the best success in your efforts with DNA testing for genealogical pursuits. -Heather, 28 Jan 2016]

Most people like me don't know their lineage past their grandparents/great grandparents.. so it's cool going further back.
