Totally useless, you confirmed my address but claimed I lived there for about 4 yrs before the house was built, you missed my 2 main email addresses that I have used for over 30 yrs, you missed my cell-phone [20 yrs], you missed all relatives except my spouse, missed my 7 addresses before the last one, you have no records of anything, and if I want anything more or useful I need to pay more. Giant rip-off, will dispute any charges for noncompliance.

Terrible
October 11, 2022

Terrible. Said they person I was looking up had criminal records & there was nothing in him but several addresses. I even paid the $19.99 to upgrade to premium. I was supposed to get a refund on the $27,99 & the $19.99 but I have not.

Updated review

1) There are 6 or 7 "Karen engle's" and in the criminal records, they are all lumped together. You cannot tell which charges go to which person. Only by looking up the details was I able to see that some charges were in places I have never been to, or for things I would not do.
2) I was charged $19.95 for two premium searches, and looking at my bank statement this morning, I noticed another charge for $29.99! What is that for? That is a total of $59.99 so far, and I still don't know half of what is reported about ME. The data if never separated, so that items pertaining to you are set in a report of ONLY YOU. You have a big jblef mix of info, but you have to dig thru it, which takes hours, to see the items that pertain to ONLY YOU. Very difficult to understand.

Checking my own report

Very dissatisfied. My address wasn't updated from 2006, didn't have any of marriages or divorced on there. I wanted to see if I had any criminal records, well THAT WAS EXTRA MONEY. Just not satisfied at all. Hope I get a refund.

It was very straightforward but I haven't read the report yet. A little pricey so we'll see if it's worth the money.
