First search I did was kind of a test just to see how and where she lives. Haven't seen her in 35 years so.
The latest is more business related and a need to locate him. But information was a little dated.
Now I might go to the premium report to see if there's more info but how much is it. I joined a few days ago for a special price $ 1 for 5 days. On my dashboard I saw no way to see the charge (I used paypal) I guess I'd just like to know the accountability and charges to my account. Like if I don't continue when will I need to cancel. Really think I want to see more but is that $27.99.
And no guarantee I'll find the info I need?

On my personal site it is only about 50percent correct! It has nothing to do with the e-mail that was posted about me. I paid one dollar but that was to much for false information!

It takes awhile so as the data and info is being discovered and ready to display, I need to keep working. It doesn't always appear your process continues while I'm in another app.

Initial opening seems to indicate that I have a criminal record, which I don't have. If I were checking on someone, I'd stop right there, and move on. Plus, there is misinformation about me. Actually, I'd like a full refund credit to my Visa and pretend we never met

You don't explain the cost up front to get all the information. It is definitely misleading.
