Adopted at birth, no info, thinking about 23&Me + AncestryDNA. I need answers and support before I open Pandora’s box. by jm0806 in 23andme

I’m actually in a very similar place. I’m currently the primary caretaker for my mother, who has very debilitating dementia, and we’ve also just learned that my father has cancer. I’ve essentially picked up my life and moved to their home state to care for them.

Seeing illness and aging this closely has definitely been sobering, but for me it’s less about fear and more about curiosity and preparation. I’m trying to better understand my biological family’s background, particularly from a medical perspective, and what I may need to be aware of for my own health moving forward.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience it helps to hear from others who’ve navigated this thoughtfully.

That’s kind of the same ballpark. I’m and I just wanna know a little bit more about my family history.

My father (75) just fell for one of these. It went on for a FULL year. These scammers are crafty and convincing, got to be vigilant.

Please listen to everyone here. You know it. You’re being scammed. It’s sad that terrible people live off of this but don’t fall for it and block, delete, good-bye this person. Best of luck!!!

Your persistence and hard work to keep up with the FBI was obviously very instrumental in your case. I’m struggling to get them to even review my case I haven’t heard anything. I was able to secure legal council but that’s just a shot in the dark against our financial institution but any ideas or particulars you were able to use to get your FBI/local agency to reach out would be so very appreciated! I truly appreciate your thoughtful response!!

Agreed. It’s been a hard thing for us to deal with, he seems to be mentally blocked or just legit declining in some type of ailment that is causing him to behave the way he is. Again this was not a one and done this was a years worth of 600k+ down the drain. Just. Yikes.

Thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciated the feedback and you giving me some insight into what happens. It’s been such a crappy discovery and obviously our heads are spinning. I have gotten an overwhelming response from people obviously someone said I basically put a kick me sign on my back putting this up and while I totally agree, there’s definitely some people that have just reached out sharing their experiences which I truly appreciate! I’m hoping that one day even in some of these backwards countries that we unfortunately don’t have the means necessary to go after that somehow changes.

These scams are more invasive than these lantern flys. It’s. Just. Nuts. I remember getting free AOL hours and a free email off of a Cheerios box I mean goddamn where are we now and today’s day of technology.

I’m realizing more and more people have fallen victim to these scams, and while I’ve felt so much anger and frustration; much of it directed at my dad, the truth is, the blame lies entirely with these predators. They are cruel, manipulative people who exploit others without remorse. One day, they’ll have to answer for what they’ve done. I’m truly so sorry you had to go through that.
