The report included minimal information. Did not pick up any criminal reports I already know about or addresses I know about. Waste of money. Don't pay.

I thought that I was purchasing information that was something that I wasn't able to get off Google. That was the way you advertised it. I paid for a month then you want more money. I am going to cancel the account now because I cannot trust to give me anything new. A scam is a scam. Shame on you.

All of the information I was sent in the report were things I could obtain through public records. Like all the other sites offering search results, some of the information was incorrect. In addition, none of the marriage or divorce information showed anything. To me it is a waste of money.

Misleading
March 3, 2022

I feel that this is such a rip-off! You advertise that you have all the latest information and data and so i go and pay thinking I'll get a background report and paid $30. This report is nothing and getting more details, I have to pay $19. I think that's not fair and misleading! You are under the impression that you get a criminal report, but instead, you get a piece of slim information saying that this person has a criminal record and, if you want to see it pay more money. It's such a rip-off. I want my money back. Total disappointment. Very misleading. Want more information? You have to pay more! Cancel my account, please. I ALREADY KNOW THEY HAVE A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND. I paid $30 for you to tell me that's? I want a refund now, please!

It is not allowing me to see the more important info like supposedly "criminal" records. I am better with FBI fingerprinting for my job...
I have never been to Kentucky nor reside there. I don't know any of those partners or associated on the list. I need to see my " criminal records", Seemed not only these neighbors or whoever has been stealing my personal documents have already stolen my identity and as I saw in another website, made a house loan in my name in Kentucky...
Also, I enrolled in your website and paid $27+ 19 so I should be able to full detailed report but I can't go beyond voting. I have never voted as I am not yet a US citizen; permanent residents can't vote. I have to check on this. DMV personnel required me to fill up voting form when I changed my driver's license upon moving to Dallas to teach there.
