Spokeo IS a scam. Paid to get information about myself. I own properties, been paying taxes for 20 years, lived in three major metropolitan areas, have credit cards, etc etc etc... and yet, I go nothing. No information found. These people didn't even bother to look. You pay, and now your money goes to a black hole and never gets back. I contacted Spokeo twice by email, at the address they provide for contact! And got no replies, no answer, and no resolution. Be very careful with these people.
By the way, I Google myself and get plenty of information already within the first few links, including my own current phone number. I make this clarification just in case Spokeo decides to "answer" below (as they use to do with other reviews) claiming that it only aggregates publicly available data. My data are out there, all over the place. And I was hoping Spokeo would be able to get something else that I missed.
Dear SA H.
Thanks for your message. Spokeo is only able to access public records. If you have records out there that have been made private, we will not be able to access them. Also keep in mind that some documents are never made public such as tax records. Spokeo is designed to locate contact information and demographic data on the area. I am sorry if the service did not meet your expectations and we wish to assist your further with any other concerns. Please contact our support team at support@spokeo.com with mention of this complaint and our representatives will be happy to resolve the issue.
Sincerely,
Spokeo
