DNA match values are way over exaggerated

You report matches to people that are completely too high compared to the actual values on MyHeritage or FTDNA.

For example, your report of my match to Edward Winter 

  • Overlap: 147.4 cM
  • Longest segment: 17.4 cM

According to MyHeritage, our match is 

1.0% (71.6‎ cM) Shared DNA
8 Shared segments
17.4‎ cM

At least you got the longest segment correct.

With another match of me to Bella Stavitskaya you show:

Overlap: 158.8 cM
Longest segment: 12.4 cM

MyHeritage shows:

0.9% (63.3‎ cM) Shared DNA
7 Shared segments
13.3‎ cM Largest segment

 

Your values are totally wrong and completely useless. The actual matches are so poor that I can't find them on FTDNA Family Finder - I can only see the top 175, and the poorest match I can see there is a 130 cM total match. According to you, both of these are much higher and should show up, but they don't.

Where are you getting these values?
