Well I used my own name and much of the information is incomplete and incorrect. There is a note that says there were criminal offenses related to my profile which I cant see. Overall, my profile and information is nowhere near as in depth as advertised. I feel I have wasted my money trying this

There is not a way to cancel after the trial period

Updated review

There is not a way to cancel after the trial period. I was charged $29.99 for something I have NO use for. Plus the search was incomplete which was a rip-off.

Interesting
September 21, 2022

Interesting. You listed one marriage for me 51 years before I was born. I am listed with three names, all correct. Since I have had three last names, but only one marriage which wasn't mine. Doesn't make sense does it?

Your "search" claimed that you found a "criminal record" for the subject of my search that could be shocking... but when i paid the one month fee and opened the "report" it said there was no criminal record. I believe this kind of bait and switch is extremely unethical. How you respond to my complaint will determine how I respond to your conduct.

I don't know if this is him

I don't know if this is him. He was a seventh grade Barrington Middle School History teacher in 1972. I feel he had to be a child sex offender.

It says $1 trial but shows nothing as it offers the premium subscription that I turned down before the $1 offer and the only way to get any useful info is to pay for premium. You get absolutely no info for the trial. It was a waste of time and money. This is what I call scamming someone that cant afford to pay full price.

Except for repeated attempts to get my card to go through the system for the report fee, the service has been great. Excellent way to keep track of loved ones.
