DNA test kit
DNA test kit
TrustDon't bother getting this test kit, it's been an absolute disaster. I bought it for my brother back in December and it's now almost April, and we still can't see his DNA results. They blocked access to the raw data due to a hack, but kept selling the kits without telling anyone about the problem. When they did finally allow access, we couldn't log in because they entered his birthdate wrong. It's been a complete nightmare trying to sort it out, and their customer service is terrible. I'm really concerned about how they're handling our information.

TrustDon't bother wasting your money on that genetic testing hoax! Save your hard-earned cash and go visit a psychic instead - they might actually give you some real insights.
