I just paid for a report
February 17, 2023

I just paid for a report. Now I find I can't gather any info on an old friend unless I pay more. This is fraudulent, unless I'm missing something.

It shows very few information
February 17, 2023

It shows very few information. For example for a married person it shows no marriage record. Also the addresses are wrong. You told me that it has found criminal record, but now that I bought the plan, you show no criminal record. I'm terribly unsatisfied with this purchase.

I am confused as to how this works or what the charges are. I am simply looking for my cousin because I have lost touch with her.

The system rejected my first two cards, and only processed the third one. This is most frustrating. There was nothing wrong with the first two cards.

This site does not provide what it advertises. Even well-known public records states here "none found". It also advertises that for your $1.00 five day trial, you have access to all the same features premium offers. Absolutely NOT true! It barely provides the basics that you can find anywhere online and it won't even cost you a dollar. I'm very disappointed.

I paid the $1 to get a feel for this site, to see if i am able to gather the info I need. It is requesting that I pay more for more info. That defeats the purpose of checking out your site.

Vague answers that require more money and premium subscriptions to get any useful information. Waste of money.

After searching my own name, your application indicated you found criminal records associated with my name. Naturally, knowing I have no known criminal records, I feel like you completely misrepresented what would be revealed in a paid-for report. I believe this is false advertising at best and potentially could be considered fraud since I made an investment, paid-for your report relying on information completely misrepresented in your advertising.
