You got me to pay for information
July 15, 2022
Updated review

You got me to pay for information. Then you charge more for info (which seemed to be included) once you have signed up. So you pay for a service, but then you offer premium for more info and more money.

Date of experience: June 15, 2022

Did not like to have to pay more for the information that should have came with the first charge. Nice up sell.

So far you've only given me his old address and charged 10 more dollars for more info. We'll see what happens. You didn't tell me anything I didn't know. Like
He spent many years in prison and you said he has no criminal record. I want my money back.

I was charged nearly $30 for almost no information. Name, age, address (things I already knew). Very deceptive advertising. I don't recommend PeopleWhiz.

Very little information other than birth date. Biggest ripoff. I put my own name in so I knew what results would be and nothing there. Just took my money. Live and learn. Scam.

This is a bogus site as I did a search on myself and the report showed 1 item about me name and birthday. Everything else was about someone else with similar names. Even that had very little information. Then the site wants to upcharge for other information. What a waste! Don't waste your time!

You charged me $27.00 for my name address and my wife's name and then wanted additional money for any other information out there. You are a bunch of scam artists.
