Waste of my money. If you'd give it back, I'd be happy. If not, I learned a valuable lesson in not using your service again.

This woman has no relation to Sandy Thorstensen other than perhaps having a kid with someone named Thorstensen. The birthdate could not be that of the woman I was trying to find based on the birthdate. Further, your report pulls in other people named Green not remotely related to the Green the report focuses on, which was wrong.

I checked myself, what a waste
November 6, 2023

Checked myself to see what it came up with so I could see how it worked. Only paid a $1 so not out alot. However there were little teasers as it was getting results, like being arrested, bad activities, etc. Nothing like that showed up as it shouldn't, but like it is stringing you around to wait for info that is not there.

Don't believe the Hype
November 5, 2023

I saw a few ads online for PeopleWhiz services. Decided to try it on one person, me. All the things they touted in their ads were nowhere to be found on the report. They also advertised a $1.00 cancellation fee( if cancelled quickly). I canceled my account with in minutes of seeing the short report verses seeing what they talk about. Cannot, in good faith recommend PeopleWhiz. $$ better spent at a casino, Or flush down the toilet….
Shame on PEOPLEWHIZ!

False Claims
November 3, 2023

When I put my name in it said I had numerous criminal records, which is totally FALSE! I do NOT HAVE ANY. I think that was bait to get me to pay to find out, Guess what? When I paid, it said I had non!
The paid report said NO marriage records again FALSE, happiily married almost 40 decades! Also said one of my Husbands Aliases is Robi, False! On any legal documention, he uses his given name of Robin!
I believe this business is BS and should be shut down!

Completely dissapointed
November 3, 2023

I looked up someone who I know was arrested over 20 times. People Whiz came up with a grand total of 2. Then they want more money for an advanced search. No thanks. Total waste of money.

Incomplete report
November 3, 2023

The report was very incomplete. It did not include 95% of what I already knew. It definitely was not anywhere near a background report. This is nothing but a scam.
