You stated I would get all kinds of information that I find out you won't complete your commitment without me buying the premium membership. I will state this on all my social media to protect anyone I can from you misleading and deceitful business practices.

1) Should disclose $ CHARGES UP FRONT ( otherwise it makes your operation isn't using " best business practices" and, we not up front! O
Otherwise it appears that you "lure" customers into signing AND PAYING (Full Disclosure up Front!)
2) Process/Array of steps seem
unnecessary or a bit overboard (pardon the. Bevy of fishing puns)
Used to"bait & hook", hence using it as a tactic to "lead" potential new customers!
I thought the purpose of your business is to help people uncover possible "scams"!
That said I'm on a fixed income with a minimal amount of it disposable. But I'm going to give you folks the benefit of the doubt based on your"obvious" reputation via all the Testimonials
From major Media outlets as shown in your promo!

These reports are garbage
July 10, 2022

These reports are garbage. The first 2 people I searched came back without half the information I already know. They didn't include several social media accounts that I'm aware of, are missing criminal records that I know about and have misinformation that I know not to be accurate.

You contacted me saying Chris Owen had additional criminal report just added. When I payed to view it it is stated there is no criminal records. I know he has multiple criminal records not to mention the new record that your company said was added in order to get me to sign up & pay. This is a total rip off.

When I want to know more about a person, it tells me that I have to get the premium. This is false information that you have. You suck people in to see what they can find out about someone but you can't. I'm calling for a refund.

Keeps you in suspense about the records you are searching for too long, without mentioning any cost, until the very end, like suspected. However, not a bad price for all the info you receive!
