Not for me

Updated review

Just spent a dollar for a report. I got charged two different one dollar charges. My bank paid both charges but I was told they only got one when I called peoplewhiz. Only one dollar might be overlooked but how often is this a problem?

Did not give much info.

I have to say it was alright... for the one dollar spent I guess I couldn't expect more. Doesn't give much of anything that any other search site does.

I only purchased this because it said I have two new negatives. Not so according to report. I think that is scamming.

Should indicate there is a cost involved. I assumed there was, but you could have let it be known sooner.

Been verified is better than this app. They show more information than people whiz. I wasted my money on this app. I'm very disappointed in your advertising. I can prove that Been verified is a better people search.
