Horrible got incorrect information on emails etc. was showing me a character from the office with the same name. If I could find a number or a way to contact this website I would ask for my money back. Extremely disappointed

Reason I chose this business:

To do a check on this person…

On first report, me, there were many errors. Also, the ad for the site said much info would be included…. But after you fill out form and answers come, you have to pay $19.99 more to get a really complete report.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought I would receive more info than I did for advertised price.

Hasn't hasn't really been hard so far because I only have to put in some information but now we'll see what the report looks like after I paid almost 30 bucks for a month... Hopefully it will tell me at least what I need to know

Reason I chose this business:

To check on a couple people that I need to find some information on. Hoping this will help! Will I need to cancel the subscription or is it because I. Only paid for a month it will stop after that month I don't have to cancel the subscription or anything is this correct? Please reach out and let me know so I can do so

There is almost NO information. The person I looked up is has profiles on dozens of social media sites, but only his Twitter showed up. What a waste of money, I want reimbursed! You promised me info that isn't here. Scam.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought I would see all the person's accounts I was looking for on social media, none of them are here.

Hold on to your wallet. After signing up for membership I looked myself up. There was almost no information about me. BUT, if I wanted to spend another 20 bucks I could get the premium version. Which would tell all. So I did. Nothing added. Tried again with my husband. Same thing. I saw the ad for the premium version, but thinking I had already upgraded to that I clicked on it and was charged another 20 bucks. Customer service, a human, not only didn't help she was snotty.

I just did.

I searched myself and found nothing! Maybe you have to pay extra to get any sort of significant information? I already paid $27.99 for one month. I would like to request a refund, please. This site gives you no real background info. Don't waste your money.

Reason I chose this business:

Curious to see if it was going to provide any true background info about me and it didn't.

I feel like your site is bait and switch. You didn't provide anything worthwhile on either people and then want more money to do a deep dive.
Regarding MR Morrissey he has a criminal record and you don't even show it.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought by the reviews you would be good but there was nothing substantial. I would like a refund!

Misleading. Pay for all information including criminal, only to be given little vague information unless you pay an additional premium fee... I know of things like criminal judgements, yet they show nothing but a name and stock photo with "possibly" more info if you pray more... What a rip off. Glad I used PayPal.

You keep telling me there's an update. But there is not an update is site. Her name is Kimberly Gilbert Ward. She has several Platforms in social media, DUO, Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger. Even though their other things also, like emails addresses that are gmail, yahoo and msn. Where are those photos, along with mobile phone calls that has is received and made.
I was looking for updates just to make sure she is who she say she is.

She tells me to call or email her a certain time, but there is no response for several hours after I had done those things. I need information to make sure that I'm going in the right direction.
The need the last four years on location pertaining to hotels, address, events and etc...

Reason I chose this business:

I was hoping that there was some updates that I was hoping for. You stated that there was some update.
No there wasn't not one.

Just don't give phone calls nor emails of the individual...

So far so go. I need phone calls and emails along with location of every area in the last two years.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought it would give me detail information of this individual that states that they are honest with me. They have made me very uneasy several times before. You can't reach them for more than 4 hours or more.

A lot of things are missing. It's my husband's report, so I know what is missing or wrong. Such as he has no middle name. But you gave him an initial. He has been married 3 times and divorced 2 times. No record. Other key items also. So I didn't find it very good.

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted to see how good your background check is, on even the basics.

Your data is extremely inaccurate on what may be more common names. It would appear I have been divorced once, but married 22 or more times. Your report acts as if my whole life revolved around one place I lived, and Your report completely missed the first 6 moves in my life. Very disappointed.

Reason I chose this business:

Sent an email. One dollar trial.

Now that I received a report on myself and my son, I can see how inaccurate the information is. Twitter? Never! Email providers that have never been used… and who cares what email anyone uses. Astrological sign? I'm paying for that? Doesn't have marriage records for either of us. My son's report showed 2 other birthdays. One address was totally bogus. I paid the price to find out that no information is reliable. Wish I could cancel.

Price could be shown in the beginning not after 15 minutes of churning out info. I'd like the option for a 'less complete' report that shows current address, relatives, etc and not criminal records and other damaging information. I'm not trying to dig dirt, I just want to locate friends.

Most of the info you give is nothing at all, or easy to fine like age and address, or at the best inaccurate. No marriage records, yet former wives are listed as relatives, no social media accounts, except 20 random Twitter accounts which are obviously not this person, etc. The info you claim to provide needs an monetary upgrade to access. It seems that I know more than you do.

Reason I chose this business:

Based on the add it seemed comprehensive.

You sort of lead one to believe you'll get at least some information about criminal past Etc. However that end up getting the barely an address and a name and then you want another $20. I think that's very unfair and for the money that I have paid I should have gotten a little bit more than I did I probably for sure will not be renewing this next month.

Reason I chose this business:

Curious, wanted to see if the site was any better than the rest. It's not

There's very little info and much of it is incorrect. Marriage and divorce records completely wrong. Criminal records are wrong, or not showing at all when I know they're there. I'm disappointed in this service.

I had no response.

Reason I chose this business:

Sounded legit but it leaves out too much information. Don't recommend.

I was at her wedding and remained friends after her divorce. I paid how much for no useful information? Please call me *******446.

1. You don't actually find any easy to find information like social media profiles. It was unable to find my friends and my social media accounts even though they are public and use a common email and our real names. 2 failed to find birth records for people that exist. Either someone erased us all from existing or the engine didn't look that hard. Ultimately this just told me our old phone numbers and addresses even though our names are actually on the properties we own now. Kinda a waste of 30 dollars. But now we know.

Reason I chose this business:

Just to see what you pulled up for me and my friends. I am not only disappointed but am completely safe from anyone that uses this seriously.

Very old information. No records for anything, literally. Site says it will give all different info. Only gives basic (outdated) address info then requires another $19+ to gain what you think you originally paid for!.

Some correct information, some incorrect information. Come on by saying you had lots of criminal records when you actually have none. Can't back get back into site without being taken to the sign up and pay page, So can't even finish looking at your report.

Curious, bad mistake

The price comes up only after spending a good bit of time which makes people tend to pay or feel like they have wasted their time - a psychological phenomena called "cognitive dissonance." In addition, even the basic evidence in the $1 report had numerous errors.

I was really excited to see what everyone was talking about. I haven't seen or heard from my daughter in 8 years. I had my hopes up that it would possibly give me enough information that I could go by in the hopes of a starting place of finding her. There were more Ali's with no faces you really didn't know if it was her or not. She could have been committing fraud. Oh and then if you wanted even a more detailed report that you thought you were getting in the first place, you had to pay extra.
Maybe it was just me expecting too much. I'm happy that it's help others.

Good results so far, let's see what the report generates. Found some good tie bits. But site is misleading somewhat, not until I received an email saying it was a 5 day trial did I see I would be billed more than I initially thought.

Reason I chose this business:

Just casual choosing

Reason I chose this product:

Just looking for something simple to use.

The person I'm researching is has a history of sex crimes. His most recent illegal activity is pimping out his own daughter. You guys are telling me he has no criminal history. I get more information with a two second Google on Jason Don Cline.

Data contained in the report associated with me is about 50% accurate. Check your sources better as they have combined my son's information with mine.
I have over 30 years experience conducting criminal investigations and I would never use this site. I ran my name to to see if yours was better then the others - it's not.

Reason I chose this business:

See above comment.
Please cancel my subscription immediately as I don't wish to use it.
