I ran a check on my niece who has been deceased for well over a year, but no record shows. I also know for sure she had a criminal record, but the search shows no known criminal record. For my boyfriend, it shows a marriage that never happened, but not his real marriage, nor his divorce. I show a criminal record when I have never even been arrested. This service is not reliable.

DISSAPOINTED
June 27, 2022

Not up to date and not much info at all. You advertise that you have all kinds of information and up to date information but I couldn't find very much to back that up. Very disappointed in PEOPLEWHIZ!

First of all I searched myself which was not complete. You also listed wrong relatives. Never heard of Peggy Gail bain. She is no relation of mine you need to check your imfor.ation.it was not worth the money I spent to find out nothing about myself.of course I am a law abiding adult.

How to see an actual report is not explained very well. Costs are not explained until report is claimed to be ready to be viewed.

No information
June 27, 2022
Updated review

It was easy. However, once I looked at the report I realized that it could not get information that it should have found. It could not find my marriage/divorce. I checked and neither I nor my ex blocked this information. That is just an example to missing information.

I've looked up people who I know have criminal records, who have been married and divorced (non-sealed records), and other general info and NONE of it is reflected in the basic report. It was a waste of $28. And to get the so-called premium report it's another $20 per report. Which probably doesn't have any a info.
Total scam. Nothing on here that you couldn't get for free with a little time on Google. The positive reviews are probably fake

The report seems accurate to some extent, you are mixing information from possible other Constantin Dobrescu, as I am not the only one with this name.

This report is on my now ex-fiance. He didn't move into my house until September 2020. I have lived here since 2016. I'm very interested in finding out his secret accounts on social media. You don't even have his main account on Facebook because it's listed to his email not his name. If you can't get basic information on him how can I trust you can find anything about the stuff he's been hiding. Which I have been able to uncover myself for free. Now ex-fiance because he's in jail for hitting me and trying to burn my house down.

Don't waste your time or money!
June 26, 2022

Don't waste your time or money! I submitted my myself for the report and this only provided very general & cursory information. For instance, birth date, some former addresses (incomplete), astrological sign—I mean really!?! There was nothing included re education, work history, or other areas that they'd mentioned which I'd assumed would have been listed. Will, definitely, cancel…pls delete me from your database….
