John Kissack got in touch with me today about a letter received that offered a new genealogical book on Kissacks. The 'Kissack Family Chronicle', apparently marketed from Holland but with a postal address in Southall, is promised for an upfront time limited payment of £34.95.
This looks to be a fraudulent scam aimed at getting your money. I am not sure what you'll get for your money (if anything), but I for one will not be finding out.
(the text of the letter is similar to this one -> http://anni2pink.blogspot.com/2004/08/would-you-trust-this-man-dear-ms-pink.html )
Presumably other surnames are/will be targets of this, so I ask you to be cautious if you are on the receiving end of one.
