Before I sent the email to the LUG, I spoke to my bank and PayPal. They saw the transaction on their systems but did not mention anything about it being a possible scam. PayPal told me to send a complaint to the email address, which I did.

Sounds more like the later to me. Jennie On Thu, Jun 21, 2018 at 5:19 PM, <johnbernac...@iprimus.com.au> wrote: About an hour ago I received an update notice for MyHeritage software. I clicked on the update to ensure that my computer was protected with the latest patches. Very shortly afterward I received an email confirming a subscription to My Heritage. I did not want it. I did not see anything asking if I wanted a subscription. It was paid via PayPal even though I had not touched my PayPal account. I had not used a MyHeritage subscription for a very long time because I did not like MyHeritage. Their software was however still on my computer. I was short of time and am not tech savvy so I clicked on the software update to protect my computer from “backdoor” cyber attacks. With hindsight, it was a bit odd because I do not recall ever receiving software update notices from MyHeritage in the past. I am disgusted with MyHeritage and fear that they will eventually corrupt Millennia / Legacy. When I have time, I will try to delete MyHeritage software from my computer. Be warned!
