“Don't trust their DNA matches either!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 28/12/2016

Everything seemed great under the free plan so I upgraded to the Complete Plan for about $175 a year. What a mistake. At that point, the site promised all sorts of connections but when I clicked on them they didn't exist. I got broken links, broken image links, time after time. I also uploaded my DNA to this site and found a few good matches. One person came out as a .9% match with six matching segments. We started corresponding to determine where our histories matched up. After a long day of comparing notes, we realized that MyHeritage had grossly overestimated our connection. On our original DNA testing site, we were only a .2% match with 1 matching segment. What a ripoff. MyHeritage is trying to convince people to upload their results, but their own matching algorithm is a disaster. I found numerous blogs with people saying the same thing. This site is to make $$$ and nothing else. Avoid at all costs. I contacted my bank and had them cancel my order. I also emailed MyHeritage THREE TIMES through their site to ask for a cancellation and never got a response. Again, AVOID this company.
