Checked 3 people, non of which had a spouse. I know for a fact that each one was married. Email address for one was wrong. Basically the only information available was current addresses (for only 2 of the 3), partial lists of past addresses, and some relatives' names.

Not what I expected...
August 25, 2023

As I pulled down what was listed for me... I found a considerable amount of inaccurate disinformation.

I wish the site had a way to make corrections to incorrect information. Or at least a link to the site they pulled the information from in the first place.

I paid for a month, the information is extremally limited. The information listed is information I, and other people would already know. No Marriages listed on anybody. The sight did not want to work properly when reviewing the Criminal Actions. It would not expand or scroll properly.
You pay $27.? And then you want us to buy a premium upgrade! Really? And yes, I have already cancelled my subscription. RIP OFF

A gimmick
September 22, 2023

Subscription base application and has you go through a lengthy application process before it tells falsely it has criminal records on the person your searching. By the way does that with every person. Then requires you to pay for a subscription. There are better and free alternatives compared to this.

Waste of Time
September 21, 2023

Record gives ridiculous dates i.e. Wedding date many years AFTER death date. Font is MUCH too small to be readable without magnifying glass;; report contradicts provocative indications during info input i.e. "we found criminal activity" vs. "no criminal records"

They got 3 things right. They even had my wife aging after she died. Then put in things about Robert Joseph Appel. It was a waste of my over $27.00!

Incomplete information… poor response…
September 16, 2023

Non existent customer service… trying to locate family member… the information they provided was less than what is already available…… requested more money, and then the information they gave was all about me not the person I requested…after I tried to stop transactions and further payments…They bomb me almost daily with "update supposedly updates". What a scam… I cannot in good conscience recommend them at all!

I will be calling customer service to ask for a refund.
Very minimal basic information is provided.
Then asks for more money.?
I (supposedly) just paid to access the info ¿?
You pay for a "report" and they give it to you alright,
The "unlimited searches" access you paid for will merely tell you if data is found and available.after you click to view the results ~a pop-up appears informing you must pay to access their premium report.
The advertisement for peoplewhiz gives you the impression that the original charge you pay for will allow you to actually access the info.
Very deceptive if you ask me. I feel duped, ripped off, and angry that I was not getting what was advertised...
How dare you criticizing other search engines when you're doing exactly the same however claiming better results for a fee and not delivering. But of course you can pay more to actually have access to what you were allegedly get.

Only trouble is they always want you to upgrade to get all information.
Already paying almost 30.00 a month.
