CheckThem

$35 down the drain. This is 100% con company. They mislead people. You think you are paying 3 dollars (which is what their false ads and pop up windows say) but they charge you $35 right away. The report was very general and vague. CheckThem is not a reputable and legit site. It's a plain rip off. I regret signing up for this bull crap.

I used a $2.99 special offer for a background check on an employee. Report was worthless and they started charging my card for $ 35 per month. I called and advised them of that and they said they would cancel. Never happened! So far, 5 charges for total $175. I cancelled card and now in dispute with these crook! DON'T DO IT

My card was fraudulently used for this service i have tried to call numerous times and have sent email. Phone says no agents avalible and hangs up. No response on email. 104.00 was charged on my card. 34.52 x3 im filling a police report against this bussiness.

I signed up for the trial to look up a childhood neighbor of mine, who has since passed away. CheckThem was the only site who had reports on this person. I pulled a basic report, which showed the person's birth date and several arrest records that the family has hidden from the state's public case search. The report didn't reveal the death or a date, which is fine because there were no online obituaries or announcements of death. I was worried about cancelling, but had no problems when I emailed the support contact.

Out of date info, plus impossible to cancel! Worst thing I ever did. Don't even think about using them. They tell me they can't cancel the service that i have to go to paypal. Paypal says they can; t do it. Reporting as fraud to my credit card.

Do not use! This is a complete scam--You think you are paying $2.99 for a report and before you know it, they are charging you $35/month. No report downloaded--completely useless. Rip-off, scam, fraud.

Called to cancel and says "non-working number". After disputing charge, have to cancel card.

DO NOT USE.

Law firms typically rely on services like LexisNexis which are overpriced for finding information on people. CheckThem and similar services offer the same data for a fraction of the cost. If you need to run searches quite often then their monthly program is worth the cost. If you're looking to just run a single report their trial is only a few bucks. We use their service in our law firm and it's much cheaper than any other alternative.

Deceptive in the trial Statement.
I bank locked my car out asking me if the charges will legitimate because they have had like charges from them before.
I said nope run it.
They claim it's a 5-day trial. They charge my card on the 5th day.
Been offered only charge me $9.99 a month to keep me from canceling my account.
So charged me $34 month why not just charge $9.99 to begin with.
Charges disputed cards canceled.

Gave it a try for $1.99 trial they were having. Very easy to do a search. Looked up a couple of old friends I lost touch with and was happy to see that they were not too far from me. I did not continue on subscription despite discount I was offered because I do not need this everyday... Just wanted to check out. Overall happy with what I found... Surprised to see so many bad reviews about being charged but the site gives you a date you need to cancel by to avoid monthly fee... That's how most trials work... guess people just don't pay attention. Overall I will use again if I need to.

Before paying I could see who I wanted info on BUT as soon as I paid that person is NO LONGER found!

I have asked repeatedly, followed their opt out and they still have my profile on the site. This is the only site that will not remove my personal information for security reasons

I signed up for the $3.00 charge after a few days I noticed another charge and contacted customer support. I asked for a refund as I only had the service for 1 day and it wasn't clearly stated that it would cost more money. They completely refused to refund my money. There customer service is terrible and there actually searches give you almost zero information. Don't use this company. Save your time and money.

Checked two of my neighbors. They came back as registered sex offenders. I keep my children away from those homes now.

BEWARE These people have a shadow website that does NOT readily and obviously disclose the terms of the trial agreement. To wit: They charge $2.99 for a trial without fully disclosing the terms of the trial in an obvious way and then want to charge you another $4.75 to see what they come up with. After five days they charged me $44+ dollars for a subscriptions, which I cancelled but they will not refund my money. Their advertising and website, not the same one I went to originally BTW, is bogus at best.

I just got off the phone with the rudest customer service specialist that I have ever talked to. His name is Louis I explained to him that I didn't see there was a $35 charge and told me flat out that I was just too stupid to read it, that it was the very 1st thing on the page. Had I had seen that I wouldn't have done it that's a ridiculous charge which is what I told him.

Barely any information was revealed. I started with the $2.95 background check and then paid $4.95 to purchase "additional" information Checkthem stated was there and received no additional info.

I use their reverse phone look up tool to search for business owner names and contact information. It's helped our business generate leads. The tool gives you the name of the phone owner which you can use to find more information using their name search.

This free trial for 5 days is a scam!
I attempted to cancel numerous times during the trial but could not get through on the site.
Then, when I did cancel on the 5th day, they said "no, no you missed this by 1 day", "too bad"
The thing is, the information they provided for the one search I did was not even thorough. And then I got charged nearly $50 dollars for that.
This is a site you need to avoid like the plague!
Tried to give this 0 stars but had to settle to give them 1

Avoid these scammers. Cancelled my subscription, was told there would be no additional charges then they ran my CC for 44.85 later that very day. When I called to speak to them they just argued said I was no longer a customer and hung up.

Although some of the info. Was accurate, more of it was inaccurate and left out some MAJOR details like, current marriages and existing businesses. Other, basic information that was left out included the location of the individual... and I'm fairly certain they didn't just evaporate into thin air! Also I tried calling them repeatedly, but each time after about a 5 min. Wait, the call was disconnected. Huge waste of my time.

I signed up and paid the 2.99 just to get an email address. Having read the terms and conditions, I am mediately attempted to cancel my membership, but inexplicably the link was broken and I got an error message. The error message directed me to email customer support, which I did immediately and also an 800 number that was a nonworking number. This is absolutely criminal. I have no idea how this company is in business. I have I reached out to customer support via email and phone several times and have had no response. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau if I don't get confirmation soon that I will not be charged any additional fees and my membership isn't that canceled.

Great customer support.

Very responsive and patient on answering anything questions you might have. - With clear and full explanation.

Extremely Disappointed. Total Scam. The info in the "extended" search was exactly the same info that was publicly available. The Trial period is 5 days then they nail you for 44.85 per month to have an account that is worthless. Avoid the scammers at all cost!
