Complete Ripoff
May 13, 2023

I searched a phone number. It said it found information. I paid for a report. It sent me to infotracer.com for my report. I paid infotracer.com to see my report. Infotracer.com say they have nothing to do with peoplebyname.com. I have gone back and forth with peoplebyname.com. They give me one story and then another. They finally agreed to refund my money,

Awful Scam
December 28, 2022

They charged me automatically after the seven day period, no warning, and no refund upon immediate cancellation. Thirty bucks down the drain. On top of that, they conveniently didn't even have the info I was looking for. BUYER BEWARE.

I, being the nosey piece of $#*! that I am, hopped on to find out who my whore of a girlfriend had been texting and sucking on. Paid the buck, then got billed 30, then 32 more, and on and on. Finally had my credit card peeps smack them in the scrotum. Found out it was an old douche bag that lives across town, and of course he drives an old, red Chevy truck with a rebel flag in the back. That's ok, because he can have her. He can also have the Chlamydia I gave him by proxy. Got my money back (thru my credit card co.), And when I wake up in chair, my mouth bleeding. Dripping blood, this is no good. He is Egyptian magician, I wake up, have red shank around it.

Morons or Scammers
January 9, 2022

They make you sign up for membership by month for $1.00 but you can cancel before 7 days. However, if you cancel, they don't send the report you paid the $1.00 for & signed up for. Probably scammers.

No response after paying for number search
January 7, 2022

This company is a scam. I paid $13.97 Canadian for a phone number search. After several emails sent I still have not gotten a response as to where the information is I have paid for. Of course there is no phone contact for the company!

Where's Your $#*!ing Service After You Pay?
October 22, 2021

Like most the ask for some kind of payment for detailed information. So I tried the $1 trial then get a message that says your number is being researched, will take 24 to 48 hours. Why the $#*! is that you useless tool of a website. Negative seo your site so it gets lower rankings so we all can see less of your bull$#*!. $#*!off!

Promise more than they deliver
October 3, 2019

I took a one week trial thru PayPal. The only number that I tried came back with just a last name. Nuff said. I immediately canceled online with no problems and went to PayPal and made them inactive for recurring payments.

Scam
July 8, 2019

Asked for a refund and received an email confirming but received no refund, I learned my lesson. It's all lies, even when you do the text search and it says"available" it's a lie. I've done the test search and got the available check mark just to put in money and have it say that the information is not available. They also promise to give you a refund if the search is unsuccessful but that isn't true because all they gave me was in store credit. Don't waste you time or money.
