Too high for the info
August 17, 2022

I thought that for the price of $28, I didn't receive very much information. The things I wanted to find out was another charge of course. If it was very important I would have probably spent at least this time to get a true and complete report.

I had to pay $27 for no information, it costs an extra $20 to get any information and I wasn't offered the $1 limited trial until I had already paid for a month I didn't want.

I just paid for the 6 month deal and the first thing I checked was myself. You records concerning me are 25% correct at best. This makes me wonder how many jobs, dates, and other life choices I have tried to make have been foiled from your misinformation.

I look at this as a bait and switch operation. The highlights before you pay say that ALL records are searched and contained in a confidential report. Then after paying the basic fee, I find that to get the total report I must UPGRADE to a premium report. The basic information given for $30 I could get on a standard google search. This is a rip-off

It was a deceiving experience. They promise you results and then they want more money if you want more results. Big mistake from my part. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

Very difficult to complete the purchase of a premium report through Paypal. It continues to take me through the steps but never gets it done. Frustrating.
