www.govdivorcerecords.org Classic Bait And Switch Internet

19th of Oct, 2011 by User123901

I am a Senior Citizen (long winded) and I wanted a report of what seemed to be a simple search, namely to see if I was still married to my second wife (less than twenty years ago, in NYS). My Second moved out of state about ten years ago and it would be a bit onerous for me to travel there to check the Public Access Computer.
My Second does not ride on a broom but I wanted the specifics of our marital status without mixing it up with her.
There are reasons why older folks get married yet again. My reason is better health insurance. I'm not quite old enough for Medicare but I'm almost there. Almost doesn't count if you get really sick. The bills will kill you if not the physiological stuff.
Finally, the Itty Bitty Nitty Gritty.
I entered our married name on the splash page: http://www.govdivorcerecords.org/.
One Record Found in both our married name and her maiden name. Sounds reasonable. OK I gave them twenty five bucks for access.
Disturbing results:
"Searching One Billion Records"
Our married name: no records found.
Her maiden name: no records found
My name: no records found
Various misspellings used intentionally: no records found.
Each search result page had a splash hocking a Deep Comprehensive Search for forty clams a pop.
I was not stupid enough to fall for this nonsense.
I could see at that point, I had been taken.
Just for laughs I entered my first wife's name (all permutations, less than 30 years ago, in NYS).
Not so remarkably at this point: no records found.
What is really remarkable is that I trotted my elderly fanny to downtown Manhattan and sure and behold my divorce record is there on the Public Access Computer.
LONG AND SHORT: THIS IS A CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH SCHEME. AVOID IT.
