I cancelled within 72 hours and got a full refund after arguing with a staff member. He offered me 1/2 of my money back, I used the 72 hour law to get a full refund. They use false advertising to reel you in and then try to charge extra for information I was able to get on my own... Who knew that some counties and cities don't care one whit for a criminal's privacy. I hate dealing with people who don't speak English very well and, of course, I got one who couldn't understand me. Do NOT use this "service." It's horrible.

This site first hooks you into thinking that it is running an engine searching all databases, but once the results start popping up and you agree to pay, then it further shows you a dashboard to unlock ALLL THE OTHER INFORMATION you really want. C'mob Checkmate, when people pay you, you need to do the honorable thing and provide the information. For goodness sakes, you nickel and dime the poor people who are looking for long lost loved ones. I am a victim of your service. I hope you run out of business.

So, this site didn't give me any more information than I could get on a normal search. In addition, they charge you once, and then ask for $19.00 more if you want the extended search which includes bankruptcies, etc. I did the extended charge and it turned up nothing. IN ADDITION, IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO LOOK THINGS UP. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF YOU ARE INSTALLING SPYWARE INTO YOUR COMPUTER AS THEY ARE "SEARCHING." This could be a paranoia, but there's no reason to risk it as you get no worthwhile information.

For the heck of it, I tried 2 people, myself and my Sister. For myself, it had none of my children/stepchildren, old address and old phone #, and possible relatives were mostly right, but the ones that were right were only in-laws and it didn't seem to know which one was my husband. It just did a google on me and I could easily find out more information about myself. Next, I tried my Sister, it missed her husband completely, he was not even listed and they have been married since 2007, it thought her ex-husband (who is deceased) was still her husband and had no idea he was deceased. It kept asking questions about both of us as I was doing it, I ended mine early and I ended hers early (once I saw the supposed relatives page). They have to be kidding me with this garbage... I could do a much better job on my own... this is SUCH a scam... they will never get a penny of my money.

Checkmate did supply what I asked for, but the site is confusing and I accidentally paid a premium price for a simple check. They tell you they will charge you monthly unless you cancel, and they do. Cancelling was easy, however. But I really disliked all the junk mail filling up my mailbox. They shared my name with their group lists of some kind and probably get paid for that, too. I hate that I have to unsubscribe from all that junk, and my name probably got passed around to more, that I haven't even seen yet. Grrr.

DON'T DO IT! You are misled from the very start. You won't see any information unless you pay for it. By signing up, you agree to automatically renew. Good luck with trying to cancel.

Your are required to provide personal information along the way only to find out that they will gladly take your information but you won't get anything back unless you sign up and pay for the ongoing service. Even the $1 special offer still authorizes them to bill you monthly automatically.

I wish I could have rated it as "0" stars.

Useless info, like the horoscope of the person, for $25. Then for anything possibly worth something is $20 more. A search on Google and White Pages will yield you BETTER info for free!

This site should be banned! Its basically a scam! Payed $22.95 just to see an old address from 6 years ago! There's even pictures that were supposed to be of the person I was looking up but the pictures were not of this person! AFTER paying the $22.95 and only seeing the old address it says get more detailed info for only $19.95! I called And emailed to request cancellation and a full refund but they said once I viewed the report I am not entitled to a refund!... again, the Only accurate info on the "report" was the address but that's from 6 years ago! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME! Yes it sounds exciting when you read the FAKE reviews that say things like "your site saved my life", "I'm greatly appreciative to you and your website... it opened my eyes"... but it is NOTHING as it advertises! Yes these are all Fake! If it wasn't only $23 I'd be suing these people right now! Don't do it!
