I am a forensic genealogist, which means a large part of my work is confirming the accuracy of either what I am told by a client or anything I find while working towards a client's goal. With most of these scams, it does not take much to recognize it as a scam, but today, I received an email that used the Marquis' logo minus the word Marquis, which immediately made me skeptical, so I looked more closely at not just the message itself, but so the coding, and while there was a statement at the bottom of the message about being affiliated with Marquis in what was visible, there was nothing in the coding to substantiate that, so this latest message is a FRAUD.an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userAug 18, 2019 by "2018 Professional Who's Who Network" Scaman anonymous user from: Texarkana, Texas, United StatesI don't know if this organization is a scam or not because I couldn't allow myself to take a chance, but the reviews stating otherwise.
