MyLifeReviews 427

I became aware of my profile on mylife.com, that includes wrong address, wrong relatives (not related to anyone or know the names mentioned), an anonymous review that simply says, "I wouldn't be friends with Elissa Heyman". Is there a way to get this company off the web? Chase bank blocked their ability to charge me, no questions asked when I explained how they trick customers as well as lie about people: to cancel (I was charged $1 to look at my review, then automatic charges), the phone number NEVER leads to someone answering; the stated hold time just goes down and then back up so that I was on the phone for an hour or more. DO NOT GET A TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION, EVEN TO SEE YOUR COMPLETELY MADE UP PROFILE.

I googled myself one day and a bunch of inaccurate information came up on this site about myself. The first time I called I waited in que for over an hour. After reaching "next in line" I was disconnected. I called back later that day thinking it was an accidental error to have been hung up on and after waiting another hour the call was disconnected again. I called back another day when they first opened and held in line for 1.5 hours on the phone with the recording saying I was number 1 in line only to be disconnected again. Then reached out in email and never got a response. Then researched this company and am seeing that there is a class action lawsuit in place against this company for fraud. Beware this company is not legit. No one should buy into their claims. Don't waste your time they are fraudulent!

Not only did they put my personal info online they dared to assign me a *social score*. Who is assigning these scores and on what basis? Also they cherry picked my political views presenting them with misleading, stereotypical terms. Finally, this company is just plain rude. I spent an hour on the phone trying to get through, only to be disconnected once I had assumed the "next caller" status. Congress needs to regulate these companies that violate our privavy.

Just type in Jimmy Kimmel, Barack Obama, or Jesus Christ to see just how much of a joke this website is. The information they have about people is inaccurate or outdated. The site even keeps profiles of people who are now deceased. I found it when I googled myself. The only reason it turned up (with photos of someone else) was because someone anonymously reviewed me as emotionally unstable and having anger management issues. Well, my 950+ Facebook friends don't care what this person says, and most of the human race is not wasting any time on this website. Neither should you, except for a good laugh!

It's MUCH worse than you think.

Even if you go through the arduous process of getting them to remove your profile on MyLife, it's not TRULY removed. They show it as removed if you're a human using a web browser. But they deceive Google into thinking your page is still live, so Google indexes and caches the page. And anyone can still read your MyLife page by clicking on the little green triangle on the Google result to read the cached page. Pure Evil.

Proof? Here's a Google expert explaining how they are doing it at the following link. So far he hasn't succeeded in getting Google to take action.

The California AG needs to put them in handcuffs just like they did to the Mugshots.com people, for the same reason: extortion. The owner and executives of MyLife live in California.

So, I pay for a one month subscription, but can't run anything but basic background checks, can't edit my listed phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Call support and am told I only paid for the ability to edit my own background report when the site offers the ability to do a background check on anyone. I can't change or remove incorrect email addresses or hone numbers and when I try a removal from another site, I get a database error. Support is apparently offshore and very courteous, but essentially unhelpful. Then I'm told I get one (1) premium background check per month and I already used that on my own profile. Arrgh! On top of this I am told any changes I request, like a removal, will take 4-6 weeks. That's how they sucker you into paying for an additional month. WASTE of MONEY!

Searched my name and it came up with mostly false information, but the thing that stunned me the most is that it said in red that I have criminal history, I understand that the company is doing that just to get you to pay money so you will be able to change all the incorrect information, but isn't it illegal for them to post incorrect information about somebody? I would gladly sign a petition to close down this disgusting type of business.

The only reason I give 2 stars (as opposed to 1 star) is that it was relatively easy to turn off automatic renewal-- but I had to call. I was not put on hold and was able to do it easily. The website is somewhat misleading in telling you what you'll get. For $18.95 I thought I would be able to do unlimited background checks for a month-- but no, only one or two, and trying more I was taken to a screen asking me to subscribe to a premium membership. What you get for that $18.95 (after that initial background check or two) is simply people's home addresses and e-mail addresses. Furthermore, the site is full of inaccurate info. You may or may not get a current address, and the "Bio" of the person can at times be ridiculously off. You are better off just doing a simple Google search and not paying for any site that purports to have information, just viewing what is shown for free.

A friend told me to look up my name on Google to see what this site had. People (including me -- if I click "it's me") have to pay to see supposed details like arrest records & education. But NET WORTH is there for everyone to see! That is, Net Worth according to them. The joke is that I have no net worth. In 1997 my wife and I put everything, I mean EVERYTHING, in a Family Trust for our children. This includes our home, investments, bank accounts, cars, beneficiaries of life insurance policies, contents of the home -- everything. As individuals,
We have no net worth. MyLife blazons that my net worth is $40,000! That is a number they must have pulled out of their nether sphincter. I'm calling them during regular business hours to have them remove my name from their site.
