InstantCheckmate

I have been trying to cancel this and have my money refunded as I do not and did not want the service do to wallet stolen I am requesting all payments refunded

I was trying to find my father's military records. This site did not list any military service, only showed two of his five children, did not show his marriage to my mother, no work history and showed him living in a town where he never lived. Complete waste of time and money.

I have a Premium membersip with Whitepages.com and have been quite happy on the whole. A week ago I was looking up an old acquaintance...don't know how it happened but I have had popups a few times a day on my desktop from INSTANTCHECKMATE.COM EVER SINCE! I have tried to block it in every way I know possible...except of course I won't contact them, they aare the sleasziest spammer/scammer out there. Do not have anything to do with them; you will regret it.

It's definitely priced too high. At night it can be very slow. Often times it gives a lot of incorrect information. It's definitely priced too high. At night it can be very slow. Often times it gives a lot of incorrect information. It shows my grandfather's information (he died in 1952) as my information.

I was charged over $45 for ba report that when I clicked said $3.99. I'd give 0 stars if possible 3 charges to my bank and literally no real information. Canceled in 5 minutes but they seen to be cookie cutter responses to reviews with no actual resolution

I looked up myself and found out that I used to live in two states I have never even visited, have a criminal history and my report is so disturbing that I need to be at least 18 y.o. To view it. On top of it I am on the Government watch list, but I guess they are looking for me in those two states of my imaginary residence. Well, it's good to know.

This business put my email and password on the dark web. After much difficulty I was finally on the phone with a staff member, but it got me nowhere. Take my advice and don't give them any personal information. I will take matters on my own and get.to the bottom of this. Now I have to change my password. Not a happy camper.

No marriage on anyone I looked up - all had been married; some multiple times. No death information on people that had been deceased for years. Criminal records not complete - knew of multiple convictions on multiple people that did not show up. Address information incorrect in most cases.

People I don't know, and addresses and phone numbers I don't recognize were inserted into my information. My marital status was nonexistent, which is a problem because I am trying to date. My daughter's information was totally made up! I wouldn't trust that any information is true since mine was so off. This is a dangerous service!

I cancelled our subscription and got a confirmation email confirming the cancellation. Next month I was charged again. Called and was told I had only cancelled one account. I only had one account. Scam!

The poor reviews seem mostly about the 'free' trial search in the ads. Those take forever to load up, then give poor information. The actual 'paid-for' search finds mostly current and accurate information. I have used this app since 2011, and find it very useful. I was debating continuing to use it since it IS expensive ($35. XX/month) but when I called tech support about a different issue (VERY HELPFUL, thanks guys!) Raul helped me solve the problem, then gave me a great new deal for $16.95/month. I frequently have strangers on and around my property for business reasons, and Instant Checkmate is a reliable source of background information. I was even able to find my first love (from 40 years ago) even though he was using an alias. He was better off 'lost' but c'est la vie.

I paid for what they promised would be a death notice. They advertise services that they do NOT provide. In fact the service they provide is free information one can obtain on a simple internet search. None of what's in their 'report' is what they claim to offer. Completely fraudulent scam company. Beware! Save your money don't waste it on Instant Checkmate.

Have used this at a reduced rate for more than a year. Not a wise investment. Most of the information is inaccurate and/or completely out of date. Also, ICM's so called 'terms of service' will not allow you to research business associates, (e.g., people you meet in a business setting, whether you have a business relationship or not) (?). Wish I could give this business '0' stars. There are multiple more cost effective competitors. Look around on the internet. JP

Outdated information, I was in the military and there was reasons for putting someone with my knowledge under a watch list, however, I am no longer enlisted and I verified through another source that I am not on a government watch list but this site claimed I was and by making a account it would show me some details associated with this record, NONE were shown but yet stated they would be,. Hmmm, just got reeled in to what I am now realizing is a scam.

Don't be stupid, avoid InstantCheckMate.com or pay and get outdated useless crud on yourself or someone else.

Your money so whatever

I have no idea where all the bogus data came from that I found in my InstantCheckmate file. Terrible records. And how is someone able to make corrections so the record will be correct?

Instant Checkmate heavily markets a "check your name for free" offer. They then suck you into watching for 10 minutes while they progress bar their way through all sorts of interesting sounding data base searches, with alarming and tantalizing progress messages, like "12 criminal records found for !"
At the end of all this nonsense, you can get your "free" report... if you BUY a subscription. It's totally annoying BS - as in bait-and-switch. The FTC ought to sue these idiots.
