Scam-a-lam-a-ding-dong! My Dad just phoned to say he'd got a letter offering a book of our family tree (complete with coat of arms) and he was wondering if it was legit. Alas, it took just a few seconds to type the publishers, William Pince Publishers into Google, to find out that it was indeed nothing more than a scam. For me the 'coat of arms' was what set alarm bells off as, far as we know, our family have been dirt common Londoners since the eighteenth century at least.
