October 4, 2022

Scam! It said "criminal records found" for this individual, which is why I proceeded with purchased. Bought report - no criminal records given!

Where do I begin?
October 4, 2022

Where do I begin? First you pay a $29 fee then when you get to the report there is another charge if you want to see more. Well of course in want to see more that's why i did the search to begin with. I had done a search of myself, a realtive, and a friend. So I looked at what little info that was provided for my fee. This information was accurate on some things like phone numbers and addresses but there were extra that did not belong, relatives I've never heard of (because they are not my relatives), and the social media was just lazy. Gave me every Twitter account that has my name. Ironically it did not show my Twitter account, nor my LinkedIn account, etc. There was a warning at the beginning about "sensitive" or "shocking" criminal history. Yet it showed none for everyone i looked up. Yet i know first hand there is some there. If this is the preliminary info, i certainly am not even remotely interested in paying additional money for inaccurate, incomplete data. I feel like i just wasted my money just like throwing away money at a casino, but at least at a casino there are lights and bells so you don't feel so bad about losing your hard earned cash. I feel like an idiot for paying for information i know for a fact is not accurate. I'm not able to trust any information I would receive on anyone i search. Total waste of time and money.

What a waste
October 4, 2022

What a waste. There was no marriage/divorce info. I know one should've showed up because it was mine. No info he gave up his first child. And he now lives in Chicago. No info on that either. Wasted money a refund would be awesome!
