Poor info accuracy

I tried a search on myself and found only the basic info to be accurate. Definitely not worth the time or money.

VERY INCOMPLETE REPORT
October 22, 2023

I ATTEMPTED TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF THIS REPORTING SYSTEM BY USING MY DAUGHTERS INFORMATION. THE REPORT SAID THAT SHE WASN'T MARRIED OR DIVORCED. ACTUALLY, SHE WAS MARRIED TWICE AND DIVORCED ONCE. IT DID NOT SHOW ANY OF HER CHILDREN'S NAMES NOR DID IT SHOW THAT SHE WAS ARRESTED BEFORE. THERE WAS NO INFORMATION REGARDING HER EMPLOYMENT NOR ANY INFO REGARDING ANY SOCIAL OR INTERNET ACTIVITY.

Promised Much, Delivered 2%
October 21, 2023

As PeopleWhiz was searching the name I input it showed it was checking social media sites and that information had been found on more than one site. It also stated that it had recent information pertaining to the individual. It not only didn't show their account on Facebook, it showed no other soc media accts. It did show an address that was incorrect and none of their current acquaintances. Worthless

I was hoping to get a history of my employment over the past 10 years, so I background checked myself. I got sucked into the sensationalized and in accurate open parentheses if I may add) prompts to continue indicating a criminal history, which I don't have. When I finally did get my report, there were several inaccuracies! When I called customer service, assuming I would receive help on how to correct these, The only recourse of action I had was to opt out. So while I am grateful that this information will not be available to anyone else, contrary to the advice, given in the event, I wanted to dispute information, To me, this was the "wrong answer." I am just glad I got my money back. I would not use this search engine to look up anyone else's information in view of this experience.

Will not use
October 20, 2023

I ran a report on my name and it reported on all middle initials.
While interesting this was not needed.
I did not do premium so while the search took awhile looking up everything I only got a little. Spent time I could have done something else.

I researched a friends information as well as on myself. The incorrect information in my file alone was sufficient for me to be trusting that ANY information could be false as much as mine was to the money I paid to see a friends information I did not feel that I could trust.
