I did a search of myself
October 1, 2022

I did a search of myself. There is a lot of wrong information. For what you charge I'd think you'd get more information right.!

Missing Information
October 1, 2022
Updated review

I checked out myself. First of all, I have had my current phone number for 9 years, your records show a phone number I have not had in 8 years. You show that I have one child, when I have three. If my information is not up to date, how am I to be assured of other people information I receive from is accurate. Please refund my payment.

I feel like you should offer all of the information after someone pays. Instead we only get half it best. But then you offer ×2 information if we upgrade. Bs

It appeared the initial report was free. I didn't realize a payment/subscription is required with credit card #. I felt too far into it to cancel.
