      It all started off when advertised I had ties with certain countries. The first strike was when they said I had connects to ********* and I paid $39 to five in deeper to learn more and instead Levantine came up and other Asian countries that had nothing to do with East. Upon complaining to them how Levantine has nothing to do with East Asia, someone named ***** argued with me that their database is accurate and I wont be getting a refund because they did their job. Thankfully someone else stepped in and saw what went wrong and issued me a refund. Fast forward to the other day, they advertise free weekly ancestry report and you can pay to dive in more. I tried to give them one last chance and paid $49 for my results because there was 3 things I was interested in. Of course getting my results back, it had absolutely NOTHING to do with what they first advertised to me. I did reach out and they gave me some excuse to try to get away with the fact their site is a complete scam. They show you one thing and once they receive your money, its something completely different. Buyers need to be aware.

      This startup is a total fraud. Ive taken *** tests with both Ancestry and 23&Me and the results were very accurate. Genomelinks predictions are in total left field. My father is ********* by birth, Ancestry and 23&Me correctly gave me 48% and 50% from *********** respectively. Genomelink gave me 0% ************. Impossible. Yet, they predicted 35% Iberian, and 20% Italian? I know as a fact I dont have any ***************** ancestry, been doing genealogical research for years. Trace regions would be one thing, but their estimate is absurd. Not to mention that I uploaded my grandfathers raw *** from Ancestry too, and we dont even appear as *** matches on Genomelink. On Ancestry and 23&Mw we share **** cM (24%) ***. Total joke.Next. The *** traits are very vague and almost always wrong. Not to mention that theyre constantly charging to have additional traits and unlock other parts of website.At best a total amateur startup, worst case fraudulent from start to finish. AVOID.
