There are multiple errors I have found so far. Contact me as to Lois Adele Hastie death on june 20,2019
I know for a fact this person has a criminal record and you are showing that they do not so obviously your search is not extensive enough
I'm not understanding why I cannot find the profile that I'm looking for when I know exactly who the person is in the profile that they have I'm not getting this
I already knew what you showed. I typed some of in to get the search started, You wasted my time and dollar. You did not reveal what would be bullet points in the $1 dollar report so a customer would know if it was worthwhile and not to chose it over the i month membership. Stupid me and shame on you. Feel free to use my review to let other information seeker suckers know.
Always getting emails saying there is new information but there never is.
Very little useful information provided by this application.
I saw their ad and for a lark I ran a search on myself. The report stated I have criminal charges against me. To see the report they want a subscription. That is total BS. There are no criminal charges against me. They are just trying to make money fraudulently. Run away from this scam.
Checked myself out on this site. Nothing but my name & birth date found. No other records. I cancelled immediately. You have to cancel by phone. I was told I'd receive a confirmation email verifying my cancellation within 24 hrs. Two days passed - nothing from PeopleWhiz. I called again and got the runaround "that there was something wrong with their email system". I was told during this 2nd call that the email cancellation notice should be coming in 48 hrs. I was also given a "Cancellation Confirmation #". I'm still waiting. Check your cc/debit statements. PeopleWhiz doesn't even deserve one star.
If I could give this company minus star I would! The worst ever, the information I got there was completely in accurate the only thing they can get right is maybe your name and birthdate everything else that comes up is not even true, I googled my own sister which I know she has three criminal records and that never showed up.! False information, I would never ever ever ever use this again a waste of time and money, when I called to cancel my membership and I asked the rep Why is the information so not accurate she hung up on me…
Claim to provide data pure bull$#*!. Then try to bill for monthly service without authorization. Borders fraud
They will never stop charging! I've cancelled 5 times in writing. Called customer service to complain and cancel 7 times. And new charges keep coming in! There is nothing on the report you cannot get on your own. RUN AWAY!
The only thing it told me was some relatives names, some past addresses & phone #s. Had wrong info on my marriages. Wrong dates, States & "Wrong People" You have to pay another $20.00 for any major info & after the basic being wrong I won't chance wasting any more money! Live & learn. Don't make the sane mistake I did!
I paid for 1 month... Yet they continue to charge me the same $27.99... The next month...! And their search is not what they promise. Then want more money for additional search...
I called to get my money back and the rep was rude. I called my bank and they have heard about this company before. They will get my funds back.
You sign up for a one month subscription and they keep billing you, don't get taken! If you want the headache than give them your money
Terrible research of information on the site! Not only was almost all the information incorrect, but in order to go deeper and get criminal, bankruptcy, lien information, you have to purchase a premium subscription which is more money. But they don't tell you that upfront. I did it on myself and it had me married to the wrong person, related to the wrong people and living in the wrong place. Don't waste your money!
They're trying to get $27 a month on the one time purchase of $27 in addition I paid for fallen for mation on myself and got nothing don't waste your money or your time I don't know how difficult it's going to be to put a stop to these payments feathering going to do it immediately
I used this service once and did not subscribe to anything. It was supposed to be a single inquiry. All of a sudden, I find myself being billed $27.99 a month for a subscription, so mind your checking account, especially if you have a debit card attached to it. I'm finding all kinds of fraud on my account this morning coming from Great Britain, The Netherlands, etc. It's a crazy world.
Site hooks you with the "opportunity" to receive a lot of data about an individual. For us, It produces garbage results with the "opportunity" to upgrade (for another fee) to received the data they originally promise in the promotional data.
DO NOT USE and STAY AWAY.
