I paid for the report..
December 18, 2021

I paid for the report. I was looking into my own Name Search. To see whats public about me. I PAID 27.99$ & PEOPLEWIZ... wanted ANOTHER 20$ for the "premium" report! YOU know what you get for 30$ dollers?... everything ANY basic FREE Google search can tell you. Infact I found more information about myself with a FREE Google search. This is BS! Waiting. 3 to 5 days for my refund'--- BULLSH*T & WASTE OF TIME!

OH &! TO TOP off how dissatisfied I am. called into Customer service to do so, clearly upset about you STEALING 30$ For 0 info.
*Alex*-(Representatives name) who took my call...( guessing people wiz is used to giving refunds bc no questions where asked- she gave me no problem really...) BUT she did RUSH to end the call & ended up HANGING UP... what the hell?! HOW RUDE, smh. If you dont want to deal with difficult people. Dont work in CUSTOMER service for a company that falsely advertising information it will provide/give.

In this life... we need to do N o t h I n g other... than live. SO, pick a career that makes you happy. Alex, be better tomorrow...& the next day...& the day after that. Infact. Everyday get a little better. IF your new- you'll get the hang of it. I have a good feeling however... you are not new to this company. So SET a better example. Customer service is simple, if your kind.

I got the report that was recommended. It didnt show anything. I know this person was married and divorced and has been arrested. Do not help at all! A waste of my money.

For all the good I got a google search would be just as good, I consider this a rip off. I may go back to beenverified.
The info was very bare, guess you wanted a premium search to squeeze more money

Waste of time!
December 18, 2021
Updated review

Pretty easy to get it started, but once the report was finalized, there were numerous mistakes and no way to edit or request to delete the mistakes. I checked other family members as well, same thing. Numerous mistakes!

It was a bait and switch, to get to any possible criminal records, more money was required. A complete wate of time. Highly disappointed.

Pretty easy so far, a bit expensive though

For what I paid for $27.95 for information and I got nothing at all no information and nothing on the person I was investigating before I move on to another website I am asking if you would please honor my request for a refund of $27.95 I thought I was getting a lot more for the money I just paid then you want another 1999 for me to look at the information that I thought came with the 2799 very confusing and misleading if you want honor my 2795 refund I will leave this bad review and move on elsewhere!

They will keep charging you even after you cancel. Make absolutely sure that you decline the charge on your card if they process a transaction after you request cancelation. I went on with 1 month and they kept charging me for 3 months even after I cancelled.
