A search of my x husband who has a felony conviction and was just recently removed from the sex offenders list in indiana did not show up. A search of myself showed possible criminal records which is untrue. This is highly disappointing and misleading. I do not want a membership and want my money back. There is no contact since I'm contacting you just minutes after our agreement, we'll within the timeframe that I am able to change my mind and get my money back.

Friggen scam
January 28, 2023

Looked up myself just to see what was out there. Other than my age,address phone number and e mail, no information was found. Been married and divorced said I won't. Had a few minor run ins with the law, said I didn't. Got a couple business licenses, said I didn't. Go ahead and save your 30 bucks

I never leave low feedback but I have always taught my little girl that if you don't let others know of their mistakes in a kind way then they can never improve so……there a LOT of errors when I searched for my information. I'm sure your site just lists what it finds in the search but just thought you should know. Thanks

Lacking depth
December 7, 2021

Your advertisements claims are not what you promote them to be. You claim that once I provide you with payment I will be able to see certain information on individuals that would help me to make wise decisions about potential roommates, relationships and potential clients. This does not even make it past a level one personal reference. Even when I went ahead and purchased the, "more in depth" reveal into a person's life it just didn't close to what you claimed it would help with. Not happy but again I learned more about false advertising.

This is a bait and switch operation that offers everything for an initial fee, but actually doles out the information you think you already bought if you agree to pay more, layer by layer, for what they originally offered for a single price. I'm embarrassed that I fell for it. I will see if they honor their satisfaction guarantee. Not holding my breath.

Terribly inaccurate
November 15, 2022

Gross inaccuracies from two wrong dates of birth, missing marriage license, two address history errors, three wrong relatives, incorrect relative's last name, wife's email addresses as opposed to mine, plus many more inaccuracies. Wasted my time and money.

I don't like how they require u to pay even more for a 'complete' report. It's always just more-more-more $$$! U would think that the initial fee is the only thing u need, but no...give us more! Ridiculous

You got me further than any other service has, and with more accurate information. But I'm sorry to say I have to unsubscribe. My original purpose was to reconnect with my first love, but with a contrite and crushed heart, I found out she passed away this past January. I was four months late. I wish I had found your service first several years ago when I started looking. I'll bookmark you so I'll know who to go to next. Thank you so very much for your help. Sincerely, William Strength

The app claims to have unearthed specific categories of information and implies that the report you get will include those specified categories of information but instead after you pay almost $30 you find that all they are going to show you is name and address and date of birth that sort of thing all the other myriad categories are withheld from you and now they shake you down for another $20 if you want to see what they originally advertised you would be seeing upon purchasing any report at all. It's an unnecessarily shady approach and does not do a lot for my attitude toward them it offends me that all they promised was not delivered upon payment of the first $30.

Disapointed
February 8, 2022

Info before agreeing showed criminal convictions for person I wanted info on. Once I paid for report there were no convictions shown. Most importantly it had an incorrect birthdate and incorrect death date. The person is still very much alive. I feel duped by your service. I want a full refund due to the misleading and wrong information. Thank you.

Terrible research of information on the site! Not only was almost all the information incorrect, but in order to go deeper and get criminal, bankruptcy, lien information, you have to purchase a premium subscription which is more money. But they don't tell you that upfront. I did it on myself and it had me married to the wrong person, related to the wrong people and living in the wrong place. Don't waste your money!

This is a joke
March 1, 2023

This is a joke. I know about his felony and prison time, but I wanted to see if he was telling me the truth about it. Yet you show nothing. I paid to get info that I already knew. I will ask my bank to stop payment on your charge.

Frustrated!
June 3, 2022

Frustrated! For $30, I got no real information on this man. For example, the $30 report shows no jail time, but he physically hurt me, broke my leg. Leg just below my knee. But that doesn't show. Also, he was charged with domestic physical abuse in XD f guy tree

I didn't revive any more information than his address. It cost me 14.99 for an address!
That's crazy I would of never done this for 15.00. Maybe I just don't know how to access. If you think I'll pay more well no!

The amount of money you charge for a lot of wrong information is terrible. What your report told me is simple things I could have found anywhere. My rating would be 0 stars if you had that category. What a rip off

The correct hits can be interesting, and far between. You have to wade through excessive info that is not your targets. This truly detracts from the reports, and leaves you wondering why you paid so much for often so little in return.

What a scam—I could have easily found the info on the internet—you try to hit us up with another 19+ dollars after we paid the initial fee "for the full report." I need to speak to my credit card company about this.

The information needs to be verified before you can count anything valid, which is time-consuming in itself. It's annoying I paid for the premium reports but still have the ad in the top right-hand screen with an option to upgrade each report.

I feel that I was baited and switched
May 22, 2022

I feel that I was baited and switched. To have all the information available requires an additional premium payment. This was not disclosed until after I signed on. So the sales and marketing is misleading. Please have a representative call me. *******909 Frank E. Hart
