I don't like the fact that you have to put in all of the info before you know the cost. You pay for the minimum and then if you want more you have to pay extra. This to me is a come-on. I would not have chosen to subscribe if I had known there was an extra charge. Unfortunately the $27 fee told me basically nothing so I felt if I wanted any info, I had to pay the extra $19.

I'm paying for the month to get a full account. You keep saying there are sensitive criminal items on my Account! There shouldn't be anything other than a speeding ticket.
On your published list if relatives; over half are people I don't know.
So far you're not very credible.

A misleading farce!
June 28, 2022

A misleading farce! Advertise all information included in report, then when purchased, only basic information included and much wanted information is in a "premium" report for an additional payment of $20 only to find that when this is purchased there is zero information on categories that were shown with alerts to yet again swindle the purchaser. I want my money back, please.

It is false advertising
June 28, 2022

It is false advertising. Says you get the premium service with everything included for a dollar and all it did was show me my name address which was wrong. And my date of birth. Not the actual information I was looking for..

Before I depend on your report for another person, I ran a report on myself. There are like 12 names listed as possible aliases that are not associated with me., and as many related names that are not associated with me. The report is not accurate even in the far scope of reality!
This is a FARCE and I demand a refund of my payment!

I think it's crap that you promise all these search criteria then I pay for 3 months and get the report and it's basic info that's already known. You then charge 20 more dollars for the info you promised the first time. Refund my money or I'll blast your bull$#*! all over the internet
