Absolutely fraudulent. Do not waste your time or money. I needed a background/property record check for a legal proceeding, so I paid $19.95 for a one month membership. When I received the report, it was basically blank except for the person's current address, and some relatives. It didn't even include things that I know are on public record in my/the person's home county. When I contacted Customer Service, I was flatly told there will be no refund. I am in the process of disputing this with my bank. FRAUD. FRAUD. FRAUD.

This is a trickery website operation. It comes up when you search "FREE ADDRESS SEARCH" It is not free, and in addition to that, after you agree to pay 1.95 for search, several boxes pop up and one is for 19.95 for background check. This background check box does not go away and you are frozen. They already have your credit card info, so you are stuck, as you have already checked several boxes and do NOT know what you are being charged for. My granddaughter's birthday was approaching, and I could not get in contact with my daughter to get her address (lost my address box). I tried this. Whitepages is no longer the same, so I searched free address search and peoplefinders came up. It was not free, but said 1.95. I would pay 1.95 for her address to get my birthday card out in time. However, after numerous questions of this and that, I am stuck in the background question... have no idea what I have checked at this point as they report to me the name (that I gave to them), but still not an address. I am 60 years old but not stupid. But this confused me greatly. I checked that box and BAM, 19.95. FOR A BACKGROUND CHECK? Not what I asked for. I know my child and I know her past, her husband's past, etc. If I was wanting a background check, the stupid stuff that they told me was not even accurate completely. Years ago I used to work for a security company and I know what background checks are. I myself have had to submit to a FBI background check for my job with US GOV. It took months for them to complete it. DO NOT USE THIS SITE... there is no simple 1.95 address search and you will get caught up in questions asking you if you would like this or that... and then you will be frozen until you check the box of 19.95. They do not give refunds either, conveniently for them. I had searched for that FREE ADDRESS on several sites and they all came down to money, so I was exhausted and willing to pay 1.95 to get my card out in the mail, but I should had never agreed to pay 1.95 when they advertised FREE ADDRESS SEARCH and it was not free. I WISH TO LOOK IN TO STARTING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM, so please contact me at *******@AOL.com if they have used this technique with you. We will get our money back and more.

Signed up for the $2.95 trial membership. It was not helpful to me, so I cancelled immediately... same day. I checked my bank statement today and discovered I was charged the $2.95, plus 3 other smaller charges for information I requested, and now the full amount of $29.95. I called and spoke to a Jennifer at People Finders and tried to settle the issue over the phone, but she accused me of lying and said that I only cancelled PART of my membership. There were no other PARTS of a trial membership, and if I had signed up for others, I would have cancelled them as well. The information they provided for a FEE was stuff I could find online for FREE. Turning them in to the Federal Trade Commission for FRAUD. I also filled out a complaint with the BBB and found that over 400 others have reported them the same complaints. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. I am out $34.35 in only 6 days, and I only used their service for ONE HOUR.

Ran the search found the correct person, Stated they had a phone number. Paid, no phone... called in no phone number, and they stated they only look for a number. Their info implied they had one or I would not have purchased:: Below is what they searched for, there was a checkmark next to the phone number. Lying Thieves!

PeopleFinders.com claims they only sell public information.
I did background check on the owner and ceo.
Robert Scott Miller married 13+ times and divorced 9 times.
He also has criminal record. This is public info (they spend millions $) to buy raw data like this and sell them as public record.

Don't even try their trial search and give them your credit card number. I thought I was paying for only the service of some 50 cents per search. I tried it twice. They without further notice entered me into subscription and charging me without the courtesy of notifing me about it. Since I used a credit card that I rarely use for other purchasing, I did not look into the statement detail for almost a year and found being charged for all this period for a total of almost $300, $24.90 a month! They say I did not read the agreement but who knows. I thought I read and pretty sure about that I was being charged for the two triials only which should be about $1. I think it is a sneaky company. I will try to get refund if possible thru credit card bank. Never give them the credit card number and if you do stay on top ot it.

Once the credit card cleared for the. 95$, then I end up at another site needing to pay once again, so I back out and get the number to call and this hateful person wants my info once again. She then ask me why I am checking the person out and do they know it. Then tells me she can not cancel nor refund my money ( its only been 15 min.@ this point) and ask why I used another name credit card. I respond by telling her I used my husbands business cc # because its a business lookup. Tells me I can't do that. Shut this site down! I was smart enough to use a card with a small limit on it. I will be canceling the card this afternoon as soon as my husband gets here to cancel this fraudulent offer charge.
I would never trust anything they put in the reports if you can not get from page to page without having to pay more money. BTW. I never got the report that the site told me was being generated.

This is the WORST company I have ever been associated with. They offered a free trial which was not free at all and locked me into a monthly payment without my permission. The three searches I did gave me no useful information at all. I spoke to the company and a girl called Emily told me I couldn't get out of it and then hung up on me, not even allowing me to speak. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! You can't get any useful information from them and they will take as much money as they can from you while making it impossible to cancel. BEWARE!

To get your $$ back, file a dispute (online or by phone) with your credit card company. It only takes about 5 minutes. Also, Federal Trade Commission website will take fraud complaints online and the Better Business Bureau will contact them and follow through.

They charged me for a single report AND a 1 year membership which I opted out of repeatedly. There are MULTIPLE reports on the BBB site of this company doing the same thing to others very recently.

I clicked only the button to order $1.95 one time search on someone. I checked my credit card and was billed $12.48,98 cents and 97 cents. I sent them an email and they said they didn't care, I wasn't getting a refund. I told them they were thieves and I was contacting my credit card company reporting them as frauds. They could care less. TERRIBLE COMPANY WHO CLEARLY STEALS FROM PEOPLE. Do not get on their site and order anything because they will charge you for things you did not even do. I even tried to call them instead of email them and i got voicemail. They didn't even have the decency to call me back, they emailed me back.
