Not worth paying even $1 for
February 8, 2022

I ran background checks on two people. After the first background report contained what appeared to be information on multiple people, I ran a check on myself to determine how reliable the information might be. I discovered it wasn't reliable at all. The majority of the relatives listed were either my relatives or one of my exwive's, but there were several listed that have no association with me at all. It did show I was divorced twice, and had my former spouses' names correct but the marriage information was not correct. It did show I was married twice, but only one of the marriages was correct. The other marriage listed was to a woman I have never heard of and it happened when I was one year old. Overall, the report had almost as much false or omitted information as it did correct information. Definitely not something I would want to use to check someone's background.

When I left the page for a moment while my request was processing, I lost the people whiz website. It wasn't on a new app nor on my browser. I couldn't go right back to it to finish and I had to start all over again. Just a little annoying.

I paid $30 to help see who my birth mom is and it didn't help me at all, it wants me to pay more to see more than the name.
