Site has much less info than truthfinder does and it also does not make you pay for a "premium" report. Also, can do phone and email lookups as well. Will most likely switch back.

Over 50% of the information is not me. I ran a report on myself to value your services. Please return/credit back my payment to you. A waste of my time.

Stated the person I was searching for has multiple arrest records. This is why I purchased a 1-month subscription. The report has NO criminal records. I am also aware that this person has at least one DUI. Not only untruthful, but not accurate.

Too Slow. The process could be speeded up. It should also include state/county assessor profiles of addresses.

You have given me nothing that I wanted. Ok the guys lives in Dowagiac, MI now but what I needed was criminal records from the 1940s. This has been no help. Would like my $$$ back.

I'm very dissatisfied it gave me nothing I was searching for nor deserved receiving any money I have been taken for. You should be ashamed for advertising things taking our money to only find what is paid for you don't even supply it.

I have not been able to obtain the information I really wanted.
But I'm EXTREMELY UPSET that I only signed up for a 1 Month membership plan but PeopleWhiz has continued to charge me for the past two months. You're the one with the unethical practices!
