Rude, wrong information and liars.
January 2, 2018

I looked up my fiance it past history it said he was a sex offender which he is not and has never been in trouble for it so I cancelled my service they charged my bank anyway and I called them back and told them I had cancelled they told me I was wrong I lied and never canceled. I finally got them to return my money. They told me that it puts every person with my Vince's name on his records check. The fa t is their misinformation can cause break ups and worse things to happen.

I don't like being mislead
November 10, 2017

You offer something for free to people responding to your call to action in seeking a background report with no intention of honoring the offer. Your web site clearly states people will get a free background report on any person of their choosing. Well I did what was required so naturally I expected to see a background report which I didn't. No mention was made beforehand about this costing me any money yet you want my credit card number. What exactly does the word "free" mean in your ad offering "free" background reports?
I doubt anyone there will read this review or if so, take it seriously but I wanted to bring to your attention the fact that your ad is misleading and a great disappointment and about all I can expect to get for free is the endless email ads you'll likely be sending to me since you managed to get my email address Thank you for giving me nothing for"free"
Sincerely, JR

Messed up
October 14, 2017

I just called and complained about having an immediate threat by someone needing my information taken down... every other site with personal addresses and information like that had no issue... I explain the situation that I am being stalked and need it down now... their response "well it's not our fault you are being stalked you are gonna have to email us..." well why? With a situation like that it shouldn't be that hard to take my name off I can't believe it idk what to do now because they shouldn't be getting away with that even if it is legal it's morally wrong!

Scam
August 29, 2017

I checked background on myself, my wife, my brother; wife's father, and wife's brother. I've known all of these people for 17 years and certainly my brother for his entire life. The only information received were addresses and ages... that's it! Nothing on marriages (all are married); nothing on bankruptcies (I had one 21 years ago; her father had TWO over the past 30 years. This site is a scam, it gives you anything you can find with your friend Mr. Google. Anyone leaving a good review is clearly related to the company, trying to offset the truth: the company deserves no stars, and should pay back every single person suckered into parting with their money. Shame on you Persopo... might as well be a Nigerian Prince Inheritance scam.

If you like wasting your money... go ahead
August 25, 2017

They don't even deserve the one-star rating. I was not able to get any meaningful information in any report I ran. I called and cancelled right away. I just checked my account and they have continued charging me the monthly fee even though I had cancelled my membership. I am going to report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Totally useless
June 30, 2017

I wish I'd read these reviews first. Can't believe I didn't check it out. I was totally shocked at the zero information in the report. I learned absolutely nothing. I wish I could give them a negative rating. Wish I could get my money back. I've used other services and NONE are as worthless as this one.

Wtf
June 23, 2017

I signed up and looked up my ex. The info I got that was him was his name and his birthday everything else was rubbish. It showed a criminal record for him but he would have been a child when the speeding tickets happened and it did not show our marriage and divorce. I then looked myself up and again it has my name right and birthday but showed nothing else. All i wanted was to see if my ex moved on and see if I could find out he was happy. So I could close that chapter of my life.

Might as well burn your money
June 15, 2017

All you get here is to lose $20. They list a lot of public record reports but they are just lists. I do not believe they actually run the reports. My own marriage to my ex did not even come up on a divorce records report.

Not half bad
April 28, 2017

I find it laughable how many people are trashing this service when it is no different than any other that does the same thing. It says so many times they give public record which is questionable at best already... I've tried 3 sites like this and while none of them are the NSA, Persopo at least had good customer service. If you have issues here you are more likely the problem than they are...

Hello Rebeca,
We apologize that you were unable to find the information you were looking for. Our service is to provide access to our continually updating public records database with information on over 320 million Americans. Some states have certain laws on what is and is not considered public record and some records may be sealed or expunged. Many states, like California, have a box that you must check if you want your record to be public. We are at the mercy of these government offices and agencies. Because we
Are not the source of the information, we can not guarantee what will and will
Not be returned. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Feel free to contact us directly by phone or email if you have any other questions.

Don't waste your money
February 28, 2017

I have requested multiple times that my information should be removed. I spoke with Crystal and explained the urgency of my request. She keeps repeating herself and is useless. I requested to speak with a manger/ supervisor she claims they don't have any. Avoid their services.

Hello Sohi,
We at Persopo display public records on over 320 million Americans forwarded to us from various courthouses and Government municipalities across the country. We do offer information removal as a courtesy and it is free of charge. If you thought there were a charge for this service we apologize for any miscommunication. This process has nothing to do with the customer service representatives on the phone, as they are explicitly there to assist customers whom are unable to operate the system. For any inquiries regarding information removal, you may view our Opt Out page which includes a video with step-by-step instructions on the process. You may email [email protected] at any time to request this process be done. We are sorry you were unable to see that previously. We do apologize for any inconvenience experienced.

PERSOPO IS A SCAM
February 22, 2017

THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM GOING, I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PAYING FOR AN TRY OUT AND THEY CHARGED ME 59.99.
WHEN I PUT MY OWN NAME IN IT CAME UP WITH TWO ADDRESSES FOR MYSELF ONE OF WHICH WASN'T MINE.
I CAN TYPE MY NAME INTO GOOGLE AND FIND MORE INFORMATION THAT THIS SITE COMES UP WITH.
WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WAS SO RUDE. SITES LIKE THESE SHOULD BE BAN FROM ADVERTISING.

Scam
February 17, 2017

Persopo offered a "report" for one dollar as I was leaving the site. I took the bait. The report on my name gave me my name and phone number, nothing more. Then they immediately charged me $29.95 on my credit card. What comes to my mind are words like: liars, criminals, scam artists, etc.

Don't Waste Your Money - - A Very Bloated Teaser to Subscribe
February 15, 2017

All you will get in this search/review is name, addresses, and those possibly related to the subject - - nothing else. If you want more, you will have to pay extra on a what you need basis. Secondly, to subscribe you must agree to auto-6 month renewal via a registered credit card. Yes, you can opt out of the plan prior to the auto-renewal by a phone call to Persopo. Thirdly, as in my situation, my credit card company changed my card number during the renewal week and Persopo denied my renewal. Persopo stated to me that I had to re-register and that all history of searched names in my account were deleted - - no more records of my use of the site. Not a customer friendly organization.

Misinformation
January 24, 2017

I cannot believe the false information being reported about the criminal history. I searched family members who showed up with assault and burglary charges and other felonious behavior. I strongly urge those considering to use this service to save their money. The information they receive could damage an innocent person's reputation by providing information unrelated to the individual. Beware!
