“Always has the info I'm looking for”

Teshyna R.

It's easy to find out whether or not you have a legit person at the other end of the number when I have the ability to search every number that isn't in my contact list. I've been able to get information pertaining to any number that texts or calls and therefore I know whether or not it's a real person at the other end of a line and that is what I need to combat all the fakes and spam.

“A child could find better results”

Ashley S.

I purchased a free trial in order to find some information on a specific person I know well. The site advertises thorough "deep diving" searches that will shock you by the information they will present to you. Spokeo's "deep diving searches" couldn't even find the last 2 addresses this person was registered at. Nor could they even find their Facebook page which you can find from a SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. Total waste of time, Spokeo is stealing consumer's money.

Their website offered free searches, and when I finished answering a long list of questions, Spokeo then would only provide the information requested with a fee. They are scam artists!

The information on my search was ridiculously wrong! I informed the site on this and heard nothing back. I requested the cancelation of my subscription and thought I was done with this company. WRONG! A few weeks later, I was charged almost $30 for services I had canceled. When I asked for a refund they offered less than $12 instead of the entire amount. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! And customer service is HORRIBLE

Tried to use this service to try to find information on an old friend. Information I received seemed suspect so I tried it using people I did have info on. What I got back was absolute garbage. For example, it showed my current address at a location where I had not lived for 14 years. It provides email addresses that are dead links. This service is a total scam. Do not use it.

Beware of Deceptive Practices

I recently had an absolutely nightmarish encounter with SPOKEO and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn others about their unethical practices. I signed up for their services, only to find out that the information provided was inaccurate and misleading.

Upon discovering the issue, I contacted their customer service number, and the nightmare escalated from there. The representative I spoke with, although seemingly nice, had no intention of resolving the matter promptly. Instead, she placed me on hold not once, not twice, but a mind-boggling four times, each time promising that her manager would handle the situation.

Here's where the situation reached its zenith of absurdity. When the manager finally took the call, their response was nothing short of shocking. In a display of astonishing rudeness and disregard for customer concerns, the manager effectively told me, in the politest terms possible, to go jump in a lake. The manager capped off this delightful exchange by hanging up on me.

This level of disrespect and lack of professionalism is beyond comprehension. It's disheartening to encounter a company that not only fails to deliver accurate information but also treats customers with such disdain when their errors are brought to light.

I strongly advise anyone considering SPOKEO to think twice. Their sketchy sign-up services, coupled with a customer service experience that would make a masochist cringe, make them a company to steer clear of. Save yourself the frustration and headaches, and find a business that values its customers and upholds basic principles of honesty and integrity.

The Male Manager that the female handed me off to would not provide his name and hung up on me. It is no way to do business and only hope that this post helps someone else before they give their money to this soon to be black listed, sketchy operation.

This service entices you with the promise of delivering results before payment. However, after paying the initial fee of 0.95 USD, no results are provided. What's worse is that you unknowingly subscribe to a 29.95 USD monthly plan without prior notification, and there is no option for a refund. Beware of this service; it is a scam with no genuine results. Avoid it to prevent being deceived and losing your money.

I used Spokeo to look at phone calls made to my family. I found it somewhat accurate, but then Spokeo had an employee contact via me a fake "Survey", to find why I was looking at phone records, and why. They offered a "$20 Amazon gift card and I participated. The questions asked indicated it wasn't actually an interview about my opinion.

I made a mistake and signed up for the 7 day trial for 0.95 cents. I called customer service and spoke with a very nice lady named Jessica who took care of canceling my order for me. In fact, she did such a professional job and was so helpful that I asked to speak to her supervisor in order to compliment her. I spoke with Justin, ID#1541, and told him how impressed I was.
Now the reason I canceled was because the person I was trying to find, a long lost friend, the phone numbers they provided were both disconnected.

The majority of the information was about neighbours which is really not important. Save your money and go somewhere else. Customer service was not helpful either although they replied!

I was expecting to find out who the spam caller was by paying a nominal fee, and got less then expected results

Tip for consumers:
you may be better off using another search database

Deceptive billing practices, misleading advertisements but excellent customer service to handle their many complaints. This is a Mickey Mouse company so stay away. There are many better resources out there so do your homework.

My main problem with Spokeo is twofold: the first being the fact that you must pay a subscription fee PLUS extra feed for any substantial information. The second reason being i dislike anyone who pushes you into giving a review the trick of a" pop-up" window that won't go away until you get that review to them. That is how I got on this site. I think this is a form of marketing blackmail.

Dear John:

I received your complaint to the SiteJabber.com web page for Spokeo, on March 11,2023 regarding our service, and I am happy to assist in resolving this matter.

Spokeo has access to over 1.2 billion records, collected and organized from many different open and publicly accesible sources. New information is added to our system every day. Spokeo does not originate or create data, so our data reflects that of the original sources. Spokeo does not guarantee data accuracy, and the data should only be used as a reference. We are, however, constantly working to expand and improve the data available on our site. New information is added to our system every day and I suggest you check back for new updates.

Please note, Spokeo currently does not offer demo access to full results. I'd recommend exploring our basic search functions, which provides a preview of the kind of information that we offer and the social media networks we support at no cost.

I apologize for any inconvenience, or hardship this matter may have caused.

7 day free trial will automatically be charged 29.95. Didn't even give me an email for the person I searched. It did however give me his 73yr old mother's information. They haven't lived in the same town for at least 15 yrs. Google will give you more accurate information for free

I tried Spokeo one time. I had an address and was looking for residents and phone numbers. The names of every resident were bogus. The phone numbers were all for different people who lived elsewhere, or for businesses, or not in service. Completely useless.

I hated giving 1 star. Should be negative 12 stars. Awful trickery luring you into paying.95 for an address but in the small print is a monthly subscription. After purchasing the one address for.95 it asked if I wanted a monthly subscription and I clicked no. After 7 days was charged 29.95. What a rip off. DO NOT USE SPOKEO
