I signed up for a $. 95 one-time service, but my credit card was charged $19.95. Why did this happen? I did not want any type of subscription or correspondence beyond the $. 95 situation so I would strongly urge you to remove $19 of this charge from my credit card account.

Dear Bill,

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding and certainly wish to help resolve the issue. When you signed up you selected our Single Search with Premium Trial plan, which provided you with an initial $0.95 Single Record as well as additional free Premium access for 7 days. As long as the trial is cancelled within 7 days, the account does not continue. Because your trial was not disabled within 7 days, a recurring subscription fee began to charge. Accounts of this type automatically renew if left active to prevent any service interruption. We try to make this very clear by detailing this on our payment page, including it in the disclaimer which has to be agreed to before the purchase is processed. In addition, the information is included in the confirmation receipt sent immediately after payment, as well as in our Terms of Use. I do apologize again if this was unclear in any way.

Sincerely,
Spokeo Customer Care

It's a scam. The same thing happened to me. If I had the money I would sue the heck out of them. Horrible shame to have this done during a world wide emergency. Robbing poor people.
