the mother of an adopted dter asked me to supply family male dna to ancestry.com to trace the bio father, who she claims as my USA cousin, that he denies. Is this a scam ?

cousin has refused his dna & am not supplying dna to a web site nor paying for testing. Is it a scam?
could be , but whether it is or not any such matters are complicated and messy and usually financially motivated ...I'd just ignore
Sounds dodgy to me. Ignore and delete.

will hold off & see what happens
This is nothing to do with you and does sound like a scam. Ignore!
do ancestry.com do standard dna testing anyway? Don't they just do that one that tells you how much viking, how much european, how much neanderthal etc?
I believe that's the case bedknobs...... From a "proper" lab, dna testing that disproves consanguinity costs more and I believe that the kind of testing that is acceptable in court to prove consanguinity costs even more than that. I would delete this message and block the sender if that is possible on ancestry
This sounds very dodgy to me. Ignore the contact and refuse to get involved. It sounds like a scam
Why on earth should it be a scam?
She does seem to be circumnavigating the laws of proving paternity, though.
Smacks to me of an attempted paternity claim. No male should do this especially if, say we say, a little promiscuous in their youth(not casting any aspersions on anyone here).
