Although they list a Canadian service and a. Ca website and have all of the info for a person of interest, they do not possess that ability to supply the information. They processed the order and charged my card and I had a call to get $$$ back and get off their predatory auto-billing system

Scam and waste of money. Nothing worked and never received any data points i was looking for.
Hello Aria,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. We regret that we didn't live up to your expectations. Our site can only generate records that are available publicly. The License Plate information you are trying to check is yet to update our sources database; that is why we could not pull out any report. We can only gather information as is and as available, and there is no guarantee since we are dealing with publicly available records online. I have issued a refund of $14.98 for the 1-month Unlimited Access Purchase to make up for not getting the LP report. We saw this was the only search on your account, and no other data were needed. You said the ad was misleading. To make up for not getting your report. Please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to be placed back into your account.
If you have any comments, clarifications, or suggestions, please free to reach us at [email protected] at your most convenient time.

The initial screen that pulled up on the website when I entered only my name, city and state - was correct; it showed my correct age as well as my correct relatives.
Then once I clicked on the link for the report, it prompted me to pay for a subscription to be able to open the report. So, I paid the $14+. Then it offered another link to open the report, and when I clicked on it - it said there was nothing available on me.
I called and spoke to a representative and explained the experience. He took down my name and age - wanted my birthdate but I told him I shouldn't have to give it to him since the website showed my accurate initial details without providing my birthday, so I gave him only my birth year.
He stated the backoffice would be in touch with me via email within a few hours.
And, they were, however the report is for a person who is 53, I am 52; their middle name is shown on report was not my middle name - I told Patrick what it is.
It indicates many data lines for Texas - I have never lived in Texas.
Clearly their company does not have the ability to access valid records with only the fields of the 1st and last name, city and state, as it eludes to being able to do in their initial screen - before tricking the person into signing up and paying the initial $14+.
Thus, I do not have confidence that their service is valid at all.
I've now come back in to edit this review and provide a screenshot because when I clicked to save my review, it changed my star rating to a higher one!
They are clearly running a scam here.

I did a search for someone in Canada. It came up with a couple names of what I wanted and had 3 telephone numbers with the last 4 or so x'd out. Seeing as where these were the names I wanted in order to get the finished results I had to pay $14.98. Ok I felt it would be worth it. I paid. Then when the search came back after I paid it said something like "names not found". I said "WHAT?. Then I got on 'live talk'. Got a run around for about 1 hour. Then was told "What you initially saw before you processed the payment is the preliminary search which is provided as reference material only. It concludes that the information exists, but the availability of the report depends if it is publicly displayed or tagged as private/confidential". Therefore I paid $14.98 for nothing. They let you search, find what you're looking for, and when you pay and search for same names... nothing there. What a farce, a fake cite, a scam etc. don't waste your money or your time. They did give me a refund.

After finding the report i was searching for, it alerted me that I needed to pay $14.95 but I would have a whole host of information contained in the report. I paid the fee, logged in and it prompted me to re enter my search criteria. Now it says the report doesn't exist and to try searching nationwide! I navigated back through pages to make sure I spelled everything just as before. I did and I had a "file number" ( before I paid to join). As I go to navigate from that page, "wait. Take advantage of this offer. $3.95 for unlimited searches!" Not only is my report now nonexistent, but I over paid by 5 times the amount. I searched other profiles and all of them say "information not available" and the ones that do have any information is from years ago! I have never witnessed a site like this that is so misinformed. Oh wait, if you want to see more information. You can pay more for that to be released to you. After my initial report is now MIA. But yet I am supposed to pay more to be unsure what I am getting. Total rip off

Answer: Hello Cherrita, Thank you for reaching out to us via Sitejabber. I understand what it might feel like to get charged for something you believed was cancelled. Please allow me to explain why you have been charged, after taking a look at your account, it appears we have not received an email in regards to cancellation. Also, on the checkout page, it's the customer that must agree to billing terms. These terms clearly state that if the customer chooses to cancel their account within the trial period, the trial fee will be the only amount billed. If the account is not canceled after the trial period, the customer will be charged the monthly billing fee. Please do not worry though, our Customer Care Team has already refunded the last three rebills that have occurred. Please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to be placed back onto your account. If you still have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

In this light, I am processing a refund of the Premium VIN Report charge since it offered no information. Please allow 3-5 business days for the $ 9.95 to go back to your card. You still have your unlimited search access active since you are on a monthly subscription. It shows that you canceled the subscription but still have up to the 26th of this month to use the service.
