Some of your information about me is correct but the rest of it is false and misleading. When I searched for my name it said there were numerous criminal records about me, and then I pay for a month so that I can look with criminal records you have on me, and lo and behold there are none. I knew that was false and I knew that was just to get my curiosity. I fell for it. What a waste of money.

For the past year I've been the target of identity theft. My own research turned up the name, address, age and relatives of the perpetrator and I was hoping to learn more with peoplewhiz. Their report confirmed what I already knew and also provided the person's email addresses and date of birth.

This report only shows basic info that is already known... unless you pay more for an "in depth" report. Waste of money.

I know my person I'm searching has criminal charges in past but you said he has none. So I wasted my money because your search was inadequate

I asked for an upgrade and paid you, but I did not get the report. Also some of the information and relatives you list are people I don't know, have never met and are not related to me in any way.

Very difficult to set up. I don't believe I'm going to see the information you say I will. When I don't, I better be able to cancel like it says you can.

States I can expect a full report but does not actually provide one. A more detailed report requires an additional payment to "upgrade". Not detailed as initially advertised.

The report was 70 percent accurate. There were some incorrect reports included. Fun, but I would not rely on it for accuracy.
