I didn't know I'd have to pay 19.90 more to get all the complete information. Lead you to believe you got everything in the initial report

This is so misleading
September 9, 2022

This is so misleading. It tells you for one month that it will give you all this information and it runs the criminal background and everything and nowhere does it tell you that you can only check one person during that month until you've already got my credit card then when I get to the profile it doesn't tell me anything about this person except for his address that I already know and his birthdate which I already know and then I have to update for $19.99 to find out anything else about him. If you would've put this anywhere BEFORE I GAVE YOU MY CREDIT CARD INFO, I would have never agreed to join this scam.

This is a joke and not at all worth the money. There's a lot of information that is public about the person I searched and none of that information was listed. Plus you claim to show me everything and that's a lie. In order to see certain things I have to pay more. No way! This is the worst purchase I have ever made.

This report is not worth the money I paid. It tells nothing. I want to cancel this immediately. Do not charge for next month. In fact, I should request a refund. All it showed was name, address, birth date.

Haven't seen the report or the final product for I have now paid, but so far the process seems seemless, somewhat quick- not too quick, (remaining a bit skeptical), but we'll soon see the final verdict.
If the "report" comes in complete and accurate, and in fact disclosing all information that appeared in the visible matrix ("searching for…"), criteria.
Then I would indeed give this a 5 star review…. So, they have told me that the report is complete and ready… I then, in an act of faith, I paid (a reasonable cost) for the report. After which it directed me to this "rating-review " page… why not ask me to rate and review after delivering my deliverables?
Therefore, at this point it receives 2- stars for ease of use, professional appearance, and sucking me in to give up my bank info. Now People Whiz will determine if it stays at 2-stars or jumps to 5-stars and a bow!
… here we go—
