The best explantation of this website is C-R-A-P... and that's probably giving too much credit. I totally agree with every negative review of Spokeo.com. Don't waste your time and don't waste you money. Send me $15 and I'll give you 3 months of the info Spokeo provides... or what they couldn't provide.
I read some of your reviews and wanted to let you all know that I too was duped. This site sucks and they are frauds, it even had my own email address info completely wrong and I am not a secretive on line person. I called and DID GET A REFUND. I demanded to speak to someone who could make this happen and it was taken care of. Don't let spokeo get away with this, keep harassing them until they refund your money. I plan to research ways I can report them and let the public know to stay away.
If they have Info on what you research it will either be completely wrong or it will be several years old! They have a "100% Guarantee. If we don't have results for this search we will gladly issue a refund." posted on the payment page to make you feel safe. Then when you ask for a refund(and you probably will) they will tell you they have a "no-refund" policy cleverly hidden in their terms. It enrages me that people can get away with STEALING hard earned money from others and get away with it. I would not recommend this website to my worst enemy! It is a total SCAM! And I hope they see this and remember denying me my full refund when i only used their service for 15 minutes and could not find anything accurate or up to date!
Dear Nathan,
I am sorry to hear that our services did not meet your expectations. While we do offer a 100% guarantee on the first search performed, once more than one searches is performed the guarantee no longer applies. This is not a trick, but merely to prevent abuse of the policy. We like to think of it like eating at a restaurant; if you are unhappy with a meal after one bite, you will most likely get a refund, but the more you eat decreases your potential return. I do apologize again for the misunderstanding, and would be happy to attempt to resolve it. I have sent you private message regarding your account.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
When I started with Spokeo, it seemed that they had a lot to information to offer.
But the longer I am with them, the more I realize how out of date their database is.
I run 20-30 searches per day to confirm my marketing data, and at least half of them are incorrect (emails bounce back and phone numbers don't match). Even my own phone number which I have had for 12 years now is incorrect on their site and my number is not blocked or unlisted.
Dear Timothy,
I'm sorry to hear that our service did not meet your expectations. Spokeo showcases the power of information aggregation, as the data is gathered from a multitude of different sources, such as social networks, public records, phone listings, marketing surveys and more. We also organize the information so that it makes sense for you, as a user. However, machine aggregation has its limits. Since there is no human involved, the data is not verified and might not be accurate. Moreover, many sources do not refresh their data often. Our Terms of Use states clearly that we are a Search Engine, and do not create, maintain or modify any of the information you see. For this reason, we cannot guarantee full or accurate information for every name, phone number, email address or username you search for, as the results vary so much from person to person. We are only as good as our sources, and our engineers are working hard on new algorithms to improve our data accuracy. In attempt to help resolve any issues, I have sent you a private message. I do apologize again for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
Terrible... a people search website that promises to retrieve info from hundreds of databases, including social sites... has reverse phone lookup, etc. Perhaps before people began tightening down on internet privacy, this site could have been effective, but now there's no info available out there on anybody. Usually Spokeo's search cannot even find someone who is registered on Facebook. No refunds are given either, so if you sign up for the 3 or 6 month subscription in hopes of saving money, they will not give you a refund when you discover their site is a scam.
Dear Michelle,
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Spokeo is a People Search Engine, and aggregates only publicly-accessible data from a multitude of sources, such as social networks, public records, phone listings, marketing surveys and more. For this reason, Spokeo preserves and protects the privacy terms of all third-party content and does not grant access to private email accounts, profiles or blogs. Our information depends entirely on the amount of digital footprints left by email users, as well as the privacy settings maintained by the user. The reason you did not see profile matches for the individual you were searching for may be because they have their profiles set to private. These days, the privacy settings, especially at Facebook are very customizable. Should the user (of one of our supported sites) not want to be found, we honor that at Spokeo.
While Spokeo does have a no-refund policy, we do of course make exceptions in situations of extreme dissatisfaction with our service. I have sent you a private message regarding a full refund. I apologize again for the frustration that this has caused you.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
Spokeo is fraudulent and a scam. I searched a phone number that had been calling me, and Spokeo said the full name and address of the owner of the phone number were available, but I must purchase a subscription to view this information. Once I purchased the subscription, no name or address were available. Having people sign up for a website under false pretenses is fraud. It's false advertising, and it's absolutely unethical. The customer service rep I spoke with on the phone said, "That shouldn't have happened." I told him to do the exact same thing I had done, and he confirmed my facts were straight. Despite a company representative acknowledging that they acted in a fraudulent manner, they still have not refunded my money. Stay away from these crooks.
Dear T. F.,
I'm sorry to hear about this. Spokeo does not guarantee full results for every search you perform. When you perform a free basic search, we pull information from what was cached from the last update. If this was a while ago, the information may be outdated. Being a Premium subscriber grants you access to the most up-to-date searches. For this reason, the information may be different than on the preview page. I'm sorry if you were under the wrong impression and hope to assist you in whatever way possible. I can assure you it is an issue we are working hard to address, and have sent you a private message regarding a full refund. I apologize again for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
This site posted photos of someone, I have no idea who the heck the person is, claiming to be me... the person in the photos is not me, and they need to be removed immediately!
Dear Jesse,
I understand some of the information that comes up during a search is not accurate. Unfortunately, there is no way to edit the search results currently. Spokeo is a search engine specialized in aggregating people-related information from phone books, social networks, marketing lists, business sites, and other public sources. We are working hard to make search results that are updated and accurate. This can be difficult as we do not create or maintain any of the data, and do not act as a social network where people create their own profiles and later edit them. That said, some of these sources do take the time to update the information over time in accordance to their own policies so do check back over time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you do not feel comfortable publishing your listing, you can opt yourself out of Spokeo. This can be done by clicking on the Privacy link located in the bottom of our home page.
You are correct, To Remove Phone/Name/Email/Username Listings, follow the steps below:
1. Locate the listing you want removed by clicking on the exact profile based on the physical address
2. Copy the URL (please see under Troubleshooting, Incorrect URL for more on obtaining the correct URL)
3. Click on the Privacy link located in the bottom of our home page which will take you here: http://www.spokeo.com/privacy
4. Paste the URL
5. Provide your email address (this acts as a verification process for the confirmation to be sent to your Inbox)
6. Type in the Captcha Code (type the code exactly as you see it)
7. Check your Inbox for the confirmation email, and click on the link at the bottom to complete the removal process.
If you are encountering difficulties, please ensure that you read all of the instructions. Make sure the URL, Captcha Code and email address verification are correctly entered. Please check your SPAM folder for a message titled Spokeo Directory Removal Confirmation, in case it does not appear in your inbox.

I cancelled my subscription afer 5 minutes when I realized that on my paypal account it said it would be charging me 14.98 EVERYMONTH. It is a 3-month subscription! I should be getting charged every THREE MONTHS, takin $14.98 from a customer every monh is STEALING. The site says is is appox. $5 a month, then why are you charging$24.98 PER MONTH? Not to mention the fact that I was lead to believe I would be getting a free trial. I sent a message to customer support a litter while ago and I would really like a full refund.
I'm sorry if you were under the wrong impression and hope to assist you in whatever way possible. Because you had selected our 3-month plan, a total of $14.85 has been deducted. Because this provides you access for the full term, the average cost is $4.95 per month, which is the amount you may have been confused with. To make this even more prominent for our payers, we include this information as part of the disclaimer which has to be agreed to before the purchase is processed. The rate is similar for our 6-month plan in which we charge up front at total of $23.70, which is a one-time charge for that entire period. I do apologize again if this was unclear in any way.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
DO NOT JOIN SPOKEO BY ANY MEANS. Biggest waste of money ever!
Before joining, there is no mention that the extent of their searches are limited to North America! I, being in Australia, had absolutely no use for this service, yet they do not warn you before you sign up that it is very much limited.
Any information searched was either heinously incorrect, or could have been done my self via GOOGLE which is FREE.
Not only that, once I had realised Spokeo was unable to perform any of the tasks it claimed it could do, I contacted them to try and get a refund for my money as I had spent less than half an hour on the site, but to this day have not heard back from them nor do I expect to. But anyway, if my money spent means that other people do not mistakenly waste their money then I guess its somewhat worth it.
Once again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Anyone with half a brain could find the information they claim to have within minutes of doing a google search. WHAT A SCAM.
Dear Narhibe,
I apologize for any inconvenience, Spokeo currently only supports national numbers and addresses from the United States for our phone and name search. For reverse email lookups however, we support all email addresses, including international ones. This search feature covers all of our supported social networks.
I'm also sorry to hear that our service did not meet your expectations. Spokeo showcases the power of information aggregation, as the data is gathered from a multitude of different sources, such as social networks, public records, phone listings, marketing surveys and more. We also organize the information so that it makes sense for you, as a user. However, machine aggregation has its limits.

We are only as good as our sources, and our engineers are working hard on new algorithms to improve our data accuracy. I do apologize again for the inconvenience.
So that I can resolve this issue for you right away, I have gone ahead and sent you a private message. Please check your inbox as soon you can.

Spokeo
The best news - I got all my money back. Thank you, Spokeo.
Previous review was: joined, run searches on well-known to me people - to check if data are correct. Got bogus results for 9 out of 10 people. Cancelled.

The reason I purchased a membership is that my spouse of ten years was listed as having a dating website in the non premium section; however there where no dating sites displayed in the premium search. I have since contacted them and they have not offered a refund but promised to look into it. It is my opinion that the site prays on the insecurities of people for profit. In the user agreement it states that spokeo can not guarantee the accuracy of information presented in the search, this information was in and advertisement and was not substantiated. Imagine the stress of suspecting your spouse of cheating. Some of the information provided included a home value in excess of 800k, the home is valued at closer to 125k.

Every phone number I typed in came back to the wrong person (reverse phone number inquiry). I typed in my own phone number and again, it identified someone else. For fun, I looked up information on my friends. The inaccuracies were a joke.
Dear Margaret,
I'm sorry to hear that our service did not meet your expectations. Our phone listings typically can provide more information. However, certain numbers are simply not found in our phone directory and may not yield full or accurate results.

For anyone who has a stalker: THIS IS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE... My family and I are UNLISTED in the phone book yet all our information pops up? This is crazy. I had taken down ALL the profiles for my family last year and then decided to look again today... AND ALL OUR INFO IS BACK UP. Watch yourself everyone...
Dear CC,
I am very sorry to hear about this issue. Our search results show only publicly-accessible information gathered from hundreds of public sources, such as phone books, marketing surveys, business sites and more.
When you choose to opt out of Spokeo, we place a permanent flag on your listing so that it does not ever reappear on Spokeo.com. We are constantly receiving new and updated listings, and we try very hard to match these new listings to the existing ones and preserve your privacy preference. However, a computer cannot know the difference between "John Smith at 1234 Nowhere Street" and "John Smith at 5678 Somewhere Avenue", though you may know that you moved. So if a new listing contains your new address, or if there are significant typos which prevent our computers from matching an existing listing, you will see a new listing for your name. We are constantly improving our matching algorithms in order to maintain your privacy. Spokeo guarantees that our opt-out policy is among the best on the Internet.
We understand that you are concerned about the information shown our search results, and allow all users to opt out. You can do so by clicking on the Privacy link located in the bottom of our home page which will take you here: http://www.spokeo.com/privacy
Sincerely,
Spokeo
Dear Spokeo,
I am very confused to how you could possibly jump to your defense adter numerous complaints about scams and poor customer service. I also am concerned about YOUR invading of other peoples privacy. You advertise a website that promises search and useful information but all seems to be gathered by 'social network' sites? I seriously find your website unprofessional as well as the way customer service is handled. Poor service equals poor buisness
Sincerly
- Glad I never signed up!
Dear Jane,
I can verify that our search results show only publicly-accessible information gathered from hundreds of public sources, such as phone books, marketing surveys, business sites and more. We understand that you are concerned about the information shown on our search results, and we allow all users to opt out. Unlike other companies, Spokeo's opt out process is a simple request that does not require signing up or paying for Spokeo's services. In regards to our customer service, which can easily be reached via our contact page; I can assure you that Spokeo's customer service team are more than willing to assist our customers with whatever their concerns may be.

They came to me, not I to them and the offer was a LIFETIME PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP in exchange for over two thousand of my contacts They have since, without notice, changed me to "Free Membership" breaking their promise to me and rendering my usage to next to useless. It was an offer to let them have access to all of my contacts, and I have over two thousand contacts, in exchange for a lifetime premium membership. Now they simply don't honor it. It's a big bait and switch game to them. They even told me that since I have a free membership that they are limiting my usage when I am supposed to have a lifetime premium. I am emailing all the contacts I gave them and telling them to complain, too. Since they have rendered my usage useless, I will render the contacts I gave them useless.
This isn't the first time they've done it to me, either. It seems with every spurt of growth they make, with every change or improvement they make, they seek out ways to make sure that I don't actually get to use any of the premium services they have promised me.
The reason I am complaining, finally, is because they are so indignant about ripping me off. It's despicable. I have NOTHING good to say about Spokeo. Ever since I came through for them they have tried to rip me off and take advantage of me with new policies which are aimed at making sure that don't have to honor their offer to me.
My opinion of them couldn't be worse. Really. They are the WORST,
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your message.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and can most certainly clarify matters for you.
When you accepted the lifetime membership, being that it is for a lifetime and free, there is a search quota limit. This limit is subjected to change, and recently, there have been a few changes. Any changes to quota limits are made only to ensure that we continue to add more data and to allow our site to run smoothly and quickly.
In regards to how many searches you can perform, here is a breakdown:
- Unlimited Name searches
- up to 20 Reverse Email searches per month
- 2 Address book imports per-month
Your quota system is a rolling window of 1 month, and any number of searches that were performed 1 month ago, would not count against your quota, thus freeing it up. For example, if you had performed 5 reverse email searches on 1/1/11, and hit your exceeded quota (by performing the rest of the 15 searches allowed) on 1/2/11, you would be able to do 5 reverse email searches on 2/1/11. Also, please note that all searches count towards your quota, even those that provide little or no results. Having said that, I encourage you to contacts us via our contact page so that we can further assist you with this matter. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.
II was trying to collect e-mail data for a small business start-up. I had much of the information, but I just needed e-mail addresses. Spokeo's free service has a highlighted link for occupation and I felt that if I had the business name I could do my own search for the company's standard e-mail format. When I searched the free service, the link was "clickable" and took me to their upgrade page. I figured I was worth the $14.85 to find the information they appeared to have.
I searched about 20 different names from my list and there was nothing listed under occupation for any of the people. This took 15 - 30 minutes (give or take). I felt it was misleading that they give you a clickable link on the free end tat takes you to the purchase the upgrade page, but once you do, there is no information for twenty individual searches.
I e-mailed immediately to cancele my subscription and assumed that the 100% guarantee meant that I would get 100% of my money back. They did respond promptly to my request to cancel, but only offered a refund for $10.00. I asked to explain why there was a 33% cancelation and their response was essentially that they don't guarantee accurate or complete information. I can respect that, but I received NO information and therefore was not 100% satisfied.
I accepted the $10.00 refund because it wasn't worth any more of my time to argue the point. But I did let them know that I would voice my displeasure on every review site that had their company listed.
Dear Spokeo User,
I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, and certainly wish to clarify this matter. The information displayed in the boxes on the preview page is to showcase the potential information we can provide on the specific individual being searched. Had the information regarding the individual's occupation been publicly available and linked, it would have displayed their profession.
Also, the 100% Guarantee we offer ensures that you, as the customer will receive additional results for only the first search that is performed.
On that note, please understand that our guarantee does not promise that accurate results will be provided for subsequent searches. Spokeo showcases the power of information aggregation, as the data is gathered from a multitude of different sources, such as social networks, public records, phone listings, marketing surveys and more. However, machine aggregation has its limits. Since there is no human involved, the data is not verified and might not be accurate. Moreover, many sources do not refresh their data often. For this reason, we cannot guarantee full or accurate information for every single name, phone number, email address or username you search for, as the results vary so much from person to person. We are only as good as our sources, and our engineers are working hard on new algorithms to improve our data accuracy. I do apologize again for the inconvenience.

What little information Spokeo does have is typically old and of no use. And yes, if you sign up for a three month period they do charge you for the full three months but they make it clear when signing up for those of you who are not illiterate.
The bottom line is that it isn't worth paying for.

Also, because all of our plans are subscription based, they will renew automatically after each subscription term (monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly, yearly), depending on which plan is selected. You may opt out of auto-renewal at any time, including the same day as your purchase. Canceling your subscription will not affect the existing period already paid for.
I am new to the people search world. I needed to find the address and owners name on a Verizon cell phone number I was given to contact a friend who recently moved to Florida and changed to a Florida number with Verizon. A mutual friend had come out of remission from cancer and asked me if I knew how 2 get in touch with him. I was given a two numbers by another friend but couldnt tell for if they were hers though Verizon did verify the numbers were linked to the same account number. I tried Spokeo and they clearly indicated they had this information and more (with 8 out 10 icons being diplayed in color) and they had the account name holder and the address as well as the carrier. After I paid all the icons were displayed in black and white and they did not have any of the information they indicated they had. I understood wwhen I signed up they might not have data on every icon but they indicated they had the data on the colored icons. I immediately requested a refund but the refused and charged me for three months but did tell me this for three days. When I complained the indicated they had reverse cell phone data they said it wasnt their fault that it was unavailable. They did not respond to my appeal. I feel bad because I feel like both of these people would benefit from the support during this difficult time. Are there any reverse cell number sites that give you what you pay for? If anyone has any suggestions it would at least help me feel less guilty. *******@yahoo.com
Dear Ben,
I'm sorry to hear about this. I believe this may be a misunderstanding and would be more than happy to clarify. When you perform a free basic search, we provide details about the networks that we support but do not state that we have found any matches unless we really did. You may be referring to links like "click here to search all 70+ networks" but that really does not guarantee that you will be provided further information as Spokeo does not guarantee full results for every search you perform. I apologize for any confusion caused.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
I used Spokeo for the free reverse email search. It stated that it had found it and I needed to pay to see the information. After I paid, I found out that there wasn't any additional information. When I asked for a refund, they gave a partial refund. What a rip off!
