Bait and switch
March 19, 2022

Bait and switch. Pay for "unlimitrd" covering numerous databases supposedly but only gives you sane very basic info anyone could get for free on Google, FB. THEN you are prompted to pay more for a "premium " account. I should have known better. Then they obfuscate that you will be rebilled automatically monthly

It is disappointing that you don't mention price until the end. Why can't you be honest and up front with the cost?

This wasn't very sad experience with this website. You overpromise and under deliver! Your information was sparse as I believe you would give more information the more you pay which is not in your description of your services. More importantly it's an accurate I know because I reviewed myself and family members you don't even have the names right. None of my mom's information was correct it's really embarrassing for you. I want a refund!

I felt the advertisement was misleading and I would receive more information. When I came to the part we're I would be charged more I felt I was being taken advantage of. I do not wish to continue with this service and I am requesting a refund.

I am very disappointed with this
March 18, 2022

I am very disappointed with this. I paid $28 to view nothing. The site stated that you found criminal records on my search. The report said that there were no criminal records on my son. I also already knew all the information that was in your report. I am hoping that you will refund me back the money. Your report doesn't even have his most recent address. I spent $28 on this report and found nothing that I didn't know. I am hoping that you will refund me the $28 that I spent?

This is very disappointing. I have done many background reports on this name and I have to say this is by far the most disappointing one I've ever read.

Lots of hype. Not a lot of information, and a lot of bad information. White pages does just as well.

Come-on
March 18, 2022

The ad said a free report but when I had completed the information it looked like I had to sign up for at least a month to get the report. It also said there were items on the criminal report and there was absolutely nothing, not even a parking ticket. This is correct but I wanted to clear up any mistakes if there was something.
