I was very disappointed with the data in the report. The search was overly expensive for the data I received in the report. I cannot recommend this product.

I stated in my email to Support specific information today and also given today to Customer Service Representative on phone call today. Searched myself and my name, in Stonington,CT ( which is also Mystic and Pawcatuck towns within Stonington) my name with invalid address. Anyone searching on People Whiz will be given invalid information. Remove it please. Thank you

Tried to match the phone number with the one in the report, but to get the number I had to pay more! The only way I could verify the individual was to match the phone number.

Terrible
October 9, 2023

It was false advertisement to begin with. It said my first search was free, so I searched and stupidly put my PayPal info in, which I never do that but for some dumb reason I did this time but was charged the full price. As the search bar was searching and searching, it kept popping up that the person I was searching had been found on many social sites, leading me to believe I was going to find out all this information that kept popping up saying it was finding. When it was finally done searching, I got the very basic information that I could have found anywhere on the internet for free along with other information about incorrect people that was so irrelevant but no information it seemed to promise it was going to show but rather I had to pay another almost $20 upgrade premium fee to see more on top of the fee already charged that was advertised as being free. It was all a joke!

Not accurate information
October 9, 2023

The address is not correct. It had the correct full name, family members and former addresses, but the basic address was incorrect, I know because he lives with me and my address was correct. In addition, there was information on other similar names, but not the person.

I think this site way over rates itself. How do I get a refund?

On my profile it showed no marriage history and I've been married for 40 years. Also it showed an address in CO that I never lived at. Worthless sire!

Not accurate or correct at all!
October 8, 2023

Did several checks, Of the 3,2 were for me and my son. Nothing and I mean nothing was even close. DOBs incorrect, Marriage/Divorce wrong, criminal records? A joke! I've got an extensive record spanning decades over several states and nothing showed up.only one ticket, that's it...Phone numbers incorrect, etc. None of the info provided in these reports was correct, accurate or useable at all. I'm very disappointed and had I paid for more than the trial I would have been pissed. Not worth the time or money, even for $1, I feel ripped off and lied to. The claims you make as to the caliber of your checks and reports are outrageously exaggerated and fall short, that's putting it nicely.

I did on myself to see how good this site is. It digs deep and it also gave info on someone whose has the same name so make sure you give the middle name of the person if possible. If you only give first and last name with no middle then anyone else with the same first and last name history will show up also and even if it isn't you it will make someone doing the background check thinking is you abd it might be a negative against you or possible jemployment.

I paid the initial 3 month fee for the service because I had been getting nowhere getting info on a friend I lost contact with. The report took a while to generate, and in the end made it seem like she still lives with her mother at age 63?
