My first report on myself is not very accurate. I have far more than one relative and there is no mention Employment status and the listed Associates are from 30 years ago. Ill try another report on a known subject and re-rate after I review that report, but initial experience is disappointing.

Well, I spent $27 on information that was not accurate at all, I got none of the info I was waiting to get, and then you want more money to get the double plus or whatever your bonus pack is…
Extremely unimpressed, and now out $27.
Truth finder has way better, so does people finder, and more.
Sorry but it's true.

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted to believe you were better than you ended up being.

There is an incorrect address in Columbus, I am not a junior (you listed William G. Johnson Junior). You also listed email addresses that do not belong to me, you tube video accounts and other social media not owned by me now or in the past. If this information can be researched by others, it would lead others to false conclusions.

Reason I chose this business:

To see if the data that you presented is accurate, and unfortunately some of it is not (especially social media information, and previously lived addresses).

The only thing it told me was some relatives names, some past addresses & phone #s. Had wrong info on my marriages. Wrong dates, States & "Wrong People" You have to pay another $20.00 for any major info & after the basic being wrong I won't chance wasting any more money! Live & learn. Don't make the sane mistake I did!

For $89, I am very disappointed in the information I was provided. I have more information on my own search than was provided by People Whiz. Why are you not finding any birth information, marriage records, licenses as she is a real estate agent, etc.

Reason I chose this business:

I am wanting to find information on a woman who my husband is having an affair with.

The leading up to report is false. They say we have found extensive criminal records on the person but when you get to report it has nothing. Has neither DUOs, none of my marriage/ divorces, and nine of. Y licenses. Only 2 of previous addresses

Reason I chose this business:

To see if it would be beneficial for our business

Everything in the report I was able to find on my own at no cost.
I was hoping this site was able to come up with something more than what a quick Google search did. I gave 1 star because 0 is not an option.

Reason I chose this business:

It was hyped up in my news feed. Thought I would give it a try. Hoping to be able to reach out to someone important to me.

I didn't realize that the information was going to be this shallow. Everything here is public knowledge. That said, it is so much more convenient and the easy to understand! I have used this app for my personal use. A must have for those leaving the nest, you just can't afford to take people at face value anymore.

Reason I chose this business:

Curiosity and I am always trying to find my family as I grew up in foster care. I would caution those young people in my position, sometimes, where we are in life is where we are supposed to be! There's a lot of disappointment and quite frankly mean people that don't want to be discovered! Count your blessings and love the one's your with?

Your initial page stated "We found multiple criminal records" yet the finished report has No Criminal Records or Offenses! Extremely misleading and if someone stopped at that inference. You would thing there were Criminal Offenses! Your site is misleading and slanderous! I'd like a refund.

Not that easy to use and you keep getting pop-ups to purchase a better and more thorough people search at a much higher price. I would rather have this company be up front from the beginning with the programs, upgrades and costs.
Thank you

Fair except website spelling errors are unacceptable, unprofessional and only serve to lower your credibility. If the words "relevance" and "information" have not been corrected on a site this old, how much confidence should your customers have in the attention you pay to your results?

Reason I chose this business:

To run a test search re U.S. addresses.

You stated I would get all kinds of information that I find out you won't complete your commitment without me buying the premium membership. I will state this on all my social media to protect anyone I can from you misleading and deceitful business practices.

I was lured in to try it out with promises of more and updated info on my report. So I paid again and got less info than I originally had found! Def not worth wasting money when u legitimately need info.

Reason I chose this business:

Was sent an email promising new and updated deeper dive of info.

Biggest rip off ever. I have recently met someone online and was looking for information one way or the other regarding this person. The only thing you seem to find is his name and birthdate which I already know. You should not be advertising that you can give people information for $27.99 when once you click on this, you need to pay more money to perhaps receive more information or maybe not. I would like my money back for the scam you are running.

Reason I chose this business:

Looking for info to protect myself

Much more clarity than 5 years ago. Seems faster. Faster. Appropriate time of year(Christmas) to feel sentimental, wider where and if old friends are still on the planet, doing what. Get to decide if and when to approach them. Thank you.

A lot of inaccurate, incomplete and strange information.
I do not know any of those people listed as associates. I have never lived in either Colorado or California. Plus you have left out a lot of information. I'm sorry I spent my good money (almost 50 dollars for one month) on such a poor system.

Reason I chose this business:

I was doing a self-search. Early on, the system said that it had uncovered "numerous " criminal reports associated with my name. Thus, I was misled into paying the subscription fee to learn of and counteract to such inaccurate, spurious reports.

Reason I chose this business:

I succumbed to the supposed "praise" comments posted by Supposed" previous users.

This report is a joke. There is so much information missing. I've known David for 60 years and lost touch. I was looking for a valid phone number or email address. You didn't provide either. I want this subscription cancelled immediately.

I tried to look at my report earlier and found absolutely nothing beyond what I had typed into the original questionaire, with some minor additions like past addresses and many addresses that were not mine. I also found that you had tied my niece, Barbara J. Hoffman into my report. Then you wanted me to pay more money to get additional info which I thought was already included in this trial.

Reason I chose this business:

Sadly, it was for curiousity and unless something on your end changes I won't bother to come back to this site.

I am the sister of Julie M Holmes and I know her history. Some information is accurate and other (many) categories are claiming up no records. I should have spent my money elsewhere. Cannot change 2 star to NO star rating.!

Reason I chose this business:

I needed info because she is manipulative and a constant liar. I want my money back.

From your advertisement on the Internet states that you can find all the information that you want. That is not true at all because there was a lot of history on the person I looked up. Everything is close so it does me no good and if possible I would love a refund. I would or recommend anyone ever to use the site again. I world has because so ruthless and scams everywhere. Can anybody tell the truth? Thank you. Please refund my money

Reason I chose this business:

I saw your advertising on the Internet. And also I heard people at work talking about it. So I said let me try it, it is definitely not like what you all say it is. Just be truthful people mind spending the money if you’re offering good service. Please refund my account. Thank you

Divorce and marriage records are not usually reported though they exist! It makes one question if your search is missing other items in regards of criminal records. Also, many have professional licenses: MD, DC, RN, PT — All would have licenses on record by state licensing bureau but none are ever reported. Why have the categories when you are so inconsistent in producing documents.

I ran a report on my name and it reported on all middle initials.
While interesting this was not needed.
I did not do premium so while the search took awhile looking up everything I only got a little. Spent time I could have done something else.

Reason I chose this business:

Saw add and investigated to see if it could be useful. It was not.
