I put in the information and it looked like you found something. So I paid $3.49 and there was no report. I had to input ALL the information again and there is NOTHING. If I have signed up for something long term (beyond $3.49), CANCEL it. I don't need this. What a waste of time and money. Don't give people the illusion you've found something when you haven't AND remember what they put in!

A Ripoff!
January 21, 2020

This site is a ripoff. They charge your CC and then you only see an error message. I had to call to get a CC credit back. The dumb woman tried to argue with me but then said she would do it "in 3 to 5 days". STAY AWAY from the hassle.

Warning!
January 19, 2020

This website does not work. I first tried to find a person by their license plate number. Nothing! Then by their name... Nothing. I then checked my own license plate number... it said their is no record of my vehicle?
I contacted them, and their reply was:
"This happens if the vehicle has been newly purchased/transferred, hasn't been updated/registered for a long time, or has been purposely removed for privacy, confidentiality and security reasons by an individual. What I recommend is you need to check with the nearest DMV to request access, or update as long as the state requirements are met.
My vehicle has been registered for 15 years. THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE COMPANY.

Great Customer Support
January 8, 2020

People say this is a scam, but when you actually look up convicted felons, their information is there. I believe this is a good site and their customer support was amazing. I cancelled my automatic renewal and they confirmed within 2 minutes. I recommend this. But I think it only searches the United States area.

Outrageously Bad Site
November 7, 2019

I used this site to check out someone. Didn't buy the service. My Chrome browser is now infested with pop-up adds and I cannot get rid of them.

Stay away from this site or you will rue the day,

I have emailed it to take me off of its mail lists. It sent me a lengthy form to fill out. Not trusting the form, I again asked them to take me off. Still to no avail. Because it comes as a pop-up, I cannot block it.

Terrible!
October 1, 2019

Says it finds info but then reports nothing once in a membership. After that it begins to send out bogus notifications that more info is found. Guess what? It's not true! There is absolutely nothing. I have no idea how these people even try to pull off such a bogus operation. I've taken screenshots of their lying and false statements. Should be shut down. Should go out of business. Should not even have the guts to send renew request. Total scam.

SCAM
September 26, 2019

Garbage! Looking for basic information. Trying to purchase info and they said they only had info on my "initial search" not on the person I identified further down in the list of my "initial search". Auto prompted for and up-charge. Called and was told by rep that I had the info I was looking for did not match my "initial search" and had to upgrade. SCAM!

Don't do it. Huge scam.
September 12, 2019

All I wanted was a VIN report on my pickup. I stupidly but wisely used my American Express platinum. I only paid for one thing. Again I printed the receipt. Never got the one report. Next page wanted me to 'click here' and pay an extra $1 for the report, but also it was now charging me $19.95. Chat line didn't work. No one got on. I called the company and got a refund.

Scam
September 1, 2019

After having paid I wanted to download a report and it prompted: "Your subscription has expired". I contacted them and they "activated" the service for searching only... which is free in any case. Any time I want to download a report they ask for additional money. Never again.

Tells you they will provide you with a DMV record only to tell you they only provide criminal records nothing else. Don't waste your money go to Clerk of the Courts if you need your history.
