It looks like initial reports include limited information with the goal to get you to upgrade to "premium " for more money. This is a great disappointment! And feels like a scam just to get you in the door.

You are "CROOKS"

Updated review

You are "CROOKS". I tried to cancel my subscription because the report I ordered is just knowledge I can attain on Google. You stated that there were items for me to be concerned about and that is a LIE. I am a Christian and I hold my Honor as a high regard, You again billed me 0n 2-19-2023 and I am going to report you to the BBB and cancel the charge on my credit card. Hap Pigsley *******731

There is NO Explanation of the expected results NOR what is going on. Can this report be TRUSTED or is it a SHAM? Hap - Safety Consultant

I pay a monthly membership yet I am unable to access criminal records, etc. I am being asked to upgrade to a premium. I am paying a monthly fee for information that I could easily gain by doing a simple Google Search. Very disappointing--especially since I have kept my membership open for some time and have paid you guys hundreds of dollars.

Updated review

I have more info on the people I needed your company to look up for me and your charging me for your report that's free everywhere on the internet. What gives? Your charging me for something that is free. Your site says you have all this info on the people I looked up but when it's finished with the background check there is nothing on the report that was stated by your company while I was waiting for the reports to be completed.
