To gain access to the most significant information types, an additional fee is required. What a rip-off.

There are other names that are showing up on my report that are wrong!

How can I delete these names of people that are not related to me?

Can someone contact me regarding this matter?

I put in someone whom I know has been married and divorced twice, has a criminal record & was a registered sex offender & your site came up with no known marriages, divorces, or criminal records! This was to see if the site is legit before I put in the name I really wanted to search. Thank goodness I stuck to the 5 day $1 trial. Your site is afraid! The only thing you really get is an address & phone number which I already had!

I didn't find this site to be up front. They don't tell you they are going to charge you until you've spilt your guts. Then you get info that's not even you. They claim someone is doing back ground check on you. They didn't provide name of that person like they said they would.

I only got this because your site stated it had found multiple CRIMINAL records for me in my full given name and I've never been in trouble. Once I paid for it, this report said I had 1 record. Which I have NEVER seen before and 1 speeding ticket once in paid for it. I am VERY disappointed and want my money returned.

You start out implying the 1 month deal is for 1 month but when one gets to check out, it Segways into automatic monthly payments. You obviously assume people will forget, not pay attention or get distracted as many people do & not realize there cc is being slowly milked. Seems very disingenuous to me.

I paid about $ 28.00 for a month and I was promised a thorough report.
As I was advancing through the report, I came across new charges for more information.
That's unfair as I was not advised about more charges in the beginning. The program let me believe everything is included in the initial charge.
Please return my money as this search is not what I was promised.

If you'd like to cancel your membership (like me), you're told to call, or email with all of your account info (of which I have none because they didn't provide me with an account number or anything). So I emailed anyway, and the response I got was an automatically generated one saying -- if you received your report, click here (brought me to this review), OR if you didn't receive your report, click here (haven't clicked that). This says it'll be published on PeopleWhiz's Sitejabber review page, whatever that is, which doesn't seem to be reliable. I guess I'll have to contact my credit card company or an attorney.

I was led to believe i would get alot more information than was actually provided after paying for subscription. I am not impressed and feel like i was tricked out of my money.
