Disappointed, rip-off!
August 18, 2021

I was trying to get information regarding my dad and the information doesn't match what I already know, so I feel ripped off. There was no added value with record finders. I will be canceling immediately.

This site is the basic bait and switch. After signing up you dont get what was initially promised and then you get a solicitation from them to upgrade for more money of course to get access to very thing you signed up for in the first place. I am going to ask for a refund but doubt if I will have any success. Very dishonest approach that they take

I plugged in a specific person who I know has recently this year been brought into court for major charges. I wanted more detail which I thought was the reason for signing up on this web site. What I got was not accurate and if I wanted more details it would cost more. I will be cancelling any further need for this web service.
