I have for the last few days been watching an advertisement on TV from
"Friendsreunited" They say "free to search" elsewhere they say "free to
register"
. I registered and duly wrote down various details which wws free.....
Then I tried to get to other places accessed by buttons. None of these
worked. Then up comes a notice that I must "upgrade" my membership by
paying £7-50 per half year. That is a very small sum of money...feeling
slightly miffed I did send my cc number as I had seen my first boyfriend's
name on the list....(NO I am not looking for another male partner!!) just
nosey thinking I'd like to know what had happened to everyone. I have just
seen the ad on again.Free to search...free to register it said! I would
have been quite happy if they had said "only £15 per year to register and
search"...quite happy but I feel this is deceitful just another to add to
the list of modern scams!

Interesting that you should come up with that observation right now! I gave
a Lecture on a Cruise earlier this month on finding your old forces friends,
amongst other methods, was friends and forces reunited the groups you
mention. I gave the warning pointing out that yes it is free to register and
that they 'have XXX Millions Registered', but how many subscribers? I
haven't heard of too many success stories, however my methods have reunited
many :-))

There's is a money making scam. Rather like the National Service Medal which
you have to buy! OK OK I know 'some' money goes to a good cause, but profit?
Where does that go?
