This doesn't pull up all social media accounts. IT doesn't show hardly anything that I know about the person I am inquiring about. A lot of information is missing.

A little expensive but I guess it's worth it. Some
Of the info is incorrect tho which isn't good on peoplewhizs part. People won't trust your content if there are errors in the reports. Just saying so you might be able to correct the issues.

Not good, but I WILL BE NOT TOLERATE DISCEPTION! I am a government contractor with a Master of Human Resources degree. I'll be reporting this to my contacts in the field/companies to warn them to NEVER USE YOUR COMPANY'S WEBSITE TO DO EMPLOYEE APPLICANT OR PERIODIC BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON EMPLOYEES! THIS IS DECEPTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!

When I signed up and paid for premium, then I'm prompted to pay more for premium to get TWICE THE INFORMATION, THAT'S DECEPTION! I WILL ALSO PROTECT OTHER HR PROFESSIONALS FROM YOUR DECEPTION BY INFORMING/WARNING THEM AT HR SEMINARS AND MEETINGS I ATTEND TO NEVER TO USE ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE YOU ARE DECEPTIVELY TRY TO PEDDLE WITH YOUR MARKETING OR/AND ADVERTISING!

Called at 3:15 a.m. on 6/21... waited as directed and got hung up on twice after less than 90 seconds. Tried 3rd time and someone picked up, rattled around and finally said, how can I help you... must have awakened them.
