I have just had a rather bizarre message from FindMyPast, telling me what I have used the site for this year.
I have viewed 12 records, read one page from a South Devon newspaper, and I am fond of researching a particular family, not mine but local, and I doubt if I have looked at them this year.
If that was all why on earth did I spend £160 on a sub? In fact I am probably on the site nearly every day!

I received something similar but I no longer have a paid subscription, I've no idea whether the numbers are correct. They certainly seem to have screwed up on yours!

I too received an email from FindMyPast containing a series of extraneous figures - a bit like the emails headed “New family discovery?” they send you with all the links you’ve already discounted every time you spend some time on the site.
They’re clearly bored over the festive period and can’t find the impetus to do something more useful, like sorting out mistakes or transcription errors, so, like the other emails, I simply deleted it.

Mine bore little resemblance to my
daily, probably far too much usage either, except being right about my enjoyment of researching in old newspapers (although even their statistics within that seemed way off the mark).
-
I got the same message, serves no useful purpose.

Snap ... useless message :o

Very odd.
Apparently I have viewed 98 times and visited 248 records.
There is also a graph that shows a lot of activity from January to June, which is rather odd as I was not subscribed until late November when I took up a low cost £98 sub for 12m.
