Ok
October 19, 2023

It was ok but I think there should be a little more information without having to pay for the premium deal. But, I admit if I would have had the money I would have bumped up to the premium.

This has very misleading advertising!
October 19, 2023

This company advertises that your free report will contain all the information of the premium service.
Then you have to either subscribe for a monthly service etc, then they offer the report for $1.00 then
You find out your only get a minimum report of the bare essentials. Very deceptive way to get your money. That is why I cancelled it!

Don't Don't Don't use this aervice
October 18, 2023

I saw in an email that PeopleWhiz offered a trial price. Going to the website I signed up but so NO trial offer option. I took the least expensive option, and entered the name of someone I know very well. The information collected and posted was incorrect and mixed up several people of similar names. I called PeopleWhiz and asked for a refund after being signed for less than 10 minutes. I was told, after a while, that I could receive only a partial refund. I requested a full refund, but was denied, then the call disconnected. I called back and spoke to a different rep and was told the same refund as explained by the first rep was allowed. I was also told that the trial offer was offered to only random people.

It seemed to be fine at first but the information on the person is way out of date, plus there were like five or six different people with similar names in the report that have no relation at all. This could seriously cause a person harm.

Too little for too much $$
October 17, 2023

This site does not have current or long term correct information. Another site gave much more information that was correct. I believe this site is a scam. They also tried to collect payment 3 times from my account. Lucky for me I didn't have enough on the card for them to get 3X from me.

I was looking into someone I knew and found no new info at all. I already knew more than was provided. People with similar names came up that clearly were not the correct people. If I wanted to know anything it would be an additional charge and if I wanted details on that it would have been an additional charge. I could have hired an investigator for what would have cost me less in the long run. SCAM, WASTE OF MONEY, RUN DON'T WALK!
