The service I used was the phone look-up. It worked great, fast, and really accurate. The customer service agent I spoke with was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. I would say that Spokeo is the best service and I highly recommend you try Spokeo first, you won't have to search any further

I just wanted a simple solution to find the phone number of a neighbor and this site was both the quickest and the easiest to use. I didn't need all the other stuff that other web sites make you wait for and then charge you an arm and a leg for the report when all you need is an address and a phone number! 99 cents is cheaper than the Dollar Store now!

Only gave a 1-star just to be able to write the review! I only wanted to do a simple Reverse Email address to find the persons name that held that email. I was prompted to provide Spokeo with my credit card info. After their search. Which I did and once the card went through I was told they couldn't find information on the email I provided. Ok REALLY! Could spokeo not tell me that before I paid? I felt scammed by this so called system they have by taking your money before telling you hey we didn't find anything in our search! Not at all happy with this scam!
