Report Review

I used the peoplewhiz site because it claimed I could get info from millions of records sources and that did not happen. The info I got on the individual I had questions about only provided minimal info and some of it was wrong.I Don't think I got half of the info I should have. The report says No email records, no faa records, nofirearm records, no professional records, no weapons records, no UCC, no lien judgements, no corporate affiliates, no bankruptcies, no marriage or divorce record.
I know for a fact that: 1. He is married, to my oldest daughter, 2. He has a state driver license, 3.he is a union carpenter, 4. He has several licensed vehicles including motorcycles and I could probably come up with more. I am beginning to think this is a fraud site.

Waste of money
October 27, 2023

The information I received was missing 3/4 of what they promised. The address wasn't even recent, no marriage or divorce info even though both happened. Relatives were wrong, etc. Don't waste your time and money. I bought a one time report and they charged my card for monthly recurring charges. I asked for a refund of my report and no response whatsoever. I did manage to stop payment on the future charges that were coming by doing it on my PayPal account.

Sensationalism at its lowest
October 26, 2023

I would expect the National Enquirer to slop gossip in an attempt to reel in a customer. PeopleWhiz dangles the presumption of criminal activity of a person and entices the prospect with digging into all known immediate relatives. But wait, the prospect has to sign up for the upgrades "premium" account to uncover the family's dark secrets. But wait, rhe prospect is given the "opportunity" to compensate the gossip mongers their monthly fee using PayPal and immediately tag the payment as recurring when prospect has selected the one month membership.
I visited the sight on the pretence of entering into a business relationship as a landlord to validate tenant applications. I used myself as the guinea pig. I knew my background data as the truth. PeopleWhiz made allegations of a sordid illegal past during the beginning "analysis" which hooked me into paying $27.99 just to be able to read the report. The report offered only public information that was readily available to anyone. To find out property owned, criminal records, family dirt, or better known as the rest of the story, I would need to upgrade my membership with another $19.99. Hell No! There are better, more reputable sources I will partner with at a price well under the total $47.98 they were charging. Don't waste your time with these goons! Seriously.

Wrong person researched
October 25, 2023

You researched someone with a middle initial which I did not enter and which the person I wanted a report on does not have. And when the report was ready, I could not access it.
