Scamming with subscription

They’ve been charging my mom for some subscription she never asked for and now we’re struggling to remove it. Be careful using myHeritage.

There are continual links to other family tree connections which is so interesting. However, some of these have errors in them so you have to be careful not to accept them all as accurate. You can contact the other party to question research but they don't always respond.
I have found some very interesting information regarding my ancestors.
My Heritage also lets you know if there are anomalies in dates of family members so you can edit if necessary. If it is correct though, as in a large age difference in husband and wife there is no where to confirm this is accurate.
I particularly like the photos and newspaper links as they often give personal information it is difficult to find. This can then send you off on another tangent which is always exciting.

Would have rated five star

Would have rated five star, if I could have contacted a live person to confirm. I’m old school and just feel more comfortable with speaking with a live person. You did confirm my subscription has not been renewed. Thank you.

I have found a lot mistakes with my personal family which I never made and I cannot able to fix them and when I have put I the correct information someone at the site changed them. Eg my grandmother name is wrong it has my sister name attached to it as well you have my sister son change to be his father grandfather these are just a couple of the mistakes. My sister has a tree in your site and she is so discussed with all the mistakes and refuses to and you will not fix them
I am a member and I have tried to fix by contacting people with the wrong information and they told me they having trouble changing the wrong information
So I am not happy with the site and I don't think I will renew my subscription again if things are not fix.
No wander information on other sites you own is wrong to
