Information is false
September 8, 2022

You gave me information that is inflammatory. This could affect my professional reputation. I have never had a criminal record and yet you imply that I have by putting me with at least 7 other Catherine Martin's. I realize that is a very common name but if you took a little effort you would just use my address to know which person I was and not through me in with people who have the same name and have a criminal record.
For this reason, I am canceling this subscription.

I entered a valid VISA credit card ending in 2934 2-3 times without success charging directly to the credit company. I called Chase VISA card company & removed any hold & tried again without success. Finally, I went thru PayPay & was successful. Lots of hassle.

I am trying to cancel any subscription. I agreed to the $1.00 amount for 5 days as a trial. I do not wish to have a monthly subscription. I am having difficulty finding how to cancel. Again, I do not wish to have a monthly subscription.

Disappointed
September 8, 2022

Your advertisement sounded like I would get a lot of info. But, no, you have to pay $20 more.
It's just another ripoff site. Very expensive to get an address and phone number.
Would really like my money back!

You charge a premium price for information people can just get off Google.

Date of experience: August 8, 2022

I took your site seriously hoping to gather important information and this just feels like a scam to take people's money. I am legitimately trying to find information to help prevent this person from very possibly endangering lives. But as long as this company made money off of the fears of innocent survivors. Good for you guys.
