InstantCheckmateReviews 345

I wish I checked here first. I wanted to see what my brand new employer was going to be seeing if they did a background check so I decided to purchase my background report from this website. I have a couple of offenses including a DUI and marijuana possession from a couple years ago and I wanted to see how it would show up. Well... I paid to find out my name and that I am a Capricorn and what my daily horoscope was. All other information was unavailable. Upon reading these other reviews about scamming money, I immediately called and cancelled my membership to avoid future charges even though I only chose the 1 month membership.

Same crap as other reviewers. Nine screens telling me how shocked I am going to be with all the information they provide. Out of sheer curiosity, I paid via paypal (so I could cancel without calling) to see just what info they would provide. Surprise, surprise--unfortunately they couldn't find ANY info on the number I submitted! After nine pages of titillation they have NOTHING on the number!

Before admitting there actually was no report, the site gave me a button to get my (non-existent) report in pdf form for an additional $1.99.

Makes me vomit that Nigerian-Prince organization are able to freely operate in this country.

This website is intentionally deceptive. They waste your time with about 5-9 webpages where they pretend like they are compiling information and there's these fake progress bars. It's all just a scam to get you to think they are really taking a lot of time because they are putting together a really, really, REALLY, in depth report.

They aren't.

After wasting your time with the aforementioned progress bars which I was literally able to read a chapter out of my book while waiting for, they hit you up for your email address.

Mind you, they haven't asked for a penny at this point.
They have asked you to verify other things, however, such as your age, gender, people you might or might not be related to. It's almost as if instead of GIVING you information, they are TAKING it from you!

Sneaky. So I stopped at the email request because I have no desire to receive SPAM from these guys and all the people they will sell your email address to. Because they are that sort of scum. But I gather that my assumptions were correct and that after they secure your email address and put you on their SPAM list, they try to hit you up for some money as well. Of course you can say no at this point, but they will still be sending you the SPAM.

They probably trick a lot of people into thinking they are going to send the report for free to your email.

They aren't.

Totally bogus company with unconscionable business ethics and a total lack of moral integrity. I would never give a business like this $. 01, because they are sneaky, underhanded low life types who make money off of deception. Anyone who signs up with these guys is asking to get ripped off.

The info I obtained form this site seemed to be fine but didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I did not verify its accuracy. I didn't remember seeing that I had to cancel after I paid a one time fee for a 1 month of service only. You MUST CALL or your will be charged each month and they will not refund your money. I couldn't find where I was told this when I signed up for the site originally and the representative could only show me where in the fine print. In any case seems too tricky to get you to pay more than you thought you were originally. Should be able to cancel right on the site or sign up for 1 month only.

I registered with this company on September 1,2015. Within 2 weeks, I searched approximately 20 people for my husband's business as a law enforcement officer. On September 15,2015 my account was cancelled and a refund was issued for the entire monthly amount. I received no email, letter, or phone call as to why my account was cancelled. I contacted customer service and spoke to a very nice gentlemen who, although he took a very long time to understand what it was that I was asking him, attempted to find someone to help me. All I wanted was to find out why my account was cancelled, not by me. No one could tell me why, they just kept repeating that if I would like to open another account, I needed to use another email address and another form of payment. Why would I want to open a new account, even if I had another email address just lying around if no one could tell me why the account was cancelled in the first place? Wouldn't it just happen again? After about 25 minutes, I got extremely frustrated and told them to forget it.

I went on instantcheckmate.com to find info on someone that keeps calling me before I signed up and gave out my credit card info the site promised me email addresses the persons actual address etc when I signed up and forked out 1.99 off my credit card I got hardly any info all I got was a first and last name. The state that person lives in and that's it even if i paid extra for more information I still wouldn't get the extra info that the site promised I only spent 1.99 and still feel ripped off this site is very deceiving I canceled my membership immediately so I don't get charged monthly this peoples search site is a scam that gives out hardly any info about anyone

I wish I would have read these reviews before throwing $15.00 to this scam of a company. How accurate can any background check company be when they don't even get my birthday correct? It went down hill from there. You get NO information for the $15.00, have to pay $2 to be able to print what they do provide - which is useless. Then in order to see any of the advertised data you have to pay another $19.99. Save your money - do not use this site.
