Most of us are this make up if your family comes from the Atchafalaya Basin area. After WWI the Austrian German migration settled heavily in the Basin and bred in.

I’ve always thought those things were crap. Just a way to get money out of suckers

Is it because there is no money in them?

I don't know if someone already said this but don't think that's now how genetics work. Brothers, sisters, twins or triplets may receive different amounts of some DNA. They should share the same markers that indicate parents, though. ...but not the exact same entire genetic make up.

Why does anybody care?
Go back 6 generations and you have 64 direct ancestors.
Everybody has some of everything.

My dad's great grandparents were poor white trash from Georgia, his grandfather became a peanut farmer and eventually owned his own farm so I have no idea what I am from that side. On my mom's side.. Her mother was cajun french and her dad was a mix of German and something else.. which had some native American in it. So I am interested in seeing what all I am made up of..
There is the ability to read DNA to get this information so I don't understand why any company, that wants to be a reputable company would send fake data, but there have been worst schemes people have pulled..

And my understanding is that there can be maternal and fraternal triplets, and that information was not revealed in the Inside Edition report

If they are fraternal Twins, then 10% doesn’t sound unreasonable. Due to crossing over of DNA, you don’t have the same set of genetic markers as your siblings.
For example one kid may get Native American genetic markers while the other doesn’t.

There was some strange language in that report. At the beginning they identified the triplets as "indistinguishable" and the quads as "identical".
And it looks like the quads were pretty much a direct match. One of the sets of triplets was very close as well.
Hard to say what's going on without some better writing in that article.

I did 23 and me. It connected me to 3 1st cousins who have different last names than me.

That simply means you didn’t get any Native American genetic markers from your parents. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the test is inaccurate.
