Hi My father has been sent an unsolicited letter from the above company, offering something called a "Bostwick Family Chronicle" for around £50. Does anyone know anything about these publishers? I very much doubt if they would have anything useful to offer. Unfortunately they have no web address, and, or course, if you try "William Prince" in a search engine, you just get lots of stuff about the royal family!

Hi, I've read lots about these on various mailing lists. General concensus is avoid at all costs. Gwynne

Steven, BIN IT quick, it is a SCAM Comes from the same address as the "You have won several grand, send us some money to get it" scams

Steven, Read it again, it is not Prince or the one on mine wasnt. Try searching on google for William PINCE you will find quite a lot of warnings then.

Thanks everyone. Of course it was Pince and not Prince - it was so obviously rubbish that I didn't even bother to read it properly. I wonder if many people fall for this stuff?
