CRAP!
November 22, 2015

Useless info, like the horoscope of the person, for $25. Then for anything possibly worth something is $20 more. A search on Google and White Pages will yield you BETTER info for free!

After answering questions totally unrelated to what I was looking for, I never did get the information I sought and paid for. A ripoff! Never again.

FRAUD
October 17, 2015

On October 16,2015, I was drawn to the web page advertizing Instantcheckmate.com in that I had interest to seeing what data would appear concerning myself. The data was presented in such a manner that one could assume I have an arrest record which I do not and said information was of little or no relevance. Having retired from a law enforcement agency, I was interested to see if that aspect of my career would be documented. It was not. Rather than being charged $10.91 for a one month trial subscription, I received an invoice email on Oct. 17th indicating a balance due of $45.82. I am unable to get back to the bait and switch web page; however, I was told by Megan, an operator at their phone number of *******985, that the error was at my end and I had selected the subscription rate. I will be addressing the fraud with my credit card company as well as the Better Business Bureau. I suggest others that have been taken in by this organization to also contact their credit card company and the BBB.

Additional information: Monday October 19th at the request of my credit card company, I called *******980. The personnel at that number were, I must say, very courteous and helpful. Appropriate refund was apparently authorized. I was told that the refund would take a couple of days to appear on my card statement. This I can live with.

First warning- There are bogus positive reviews, and recommendations from phony "consumer protection" websites all over the internet designed to misdirect consumers away from legitimate consumer protection sites.
Second, beileve the other reviews on this site, it's all what you can expect if you go there. Before trying this site, I had collected free iformation by just digging around the internet. I was led to believe I would get more in depth info. First they gave me a choice: either $34 for one month access, or $80 something for 3 months, BUT, no matter which one you choose, they continue to charge your account until you call a phone number to cancel (which turned out to not so easy.) That "report" contined far less info that I already had. And some of it was inacurate. BUT, they then offered a more indepth report for another $16 and change. This again returned garbage, unless you think a horoscope, or somebody's "sign" is worth over $50/month. An added insult- they wanted an additional $2.99 to be able to download the report you paid for. If you are not totally disgusted enough to get out of the site at this point, they will be happy to keep throwing more offers, and charges at you. They have attempted to legally insulate themselves with disclaimers basically stating that they don't guaranty accuracy, and you shouldn't use their information for anything that matters. That says it all. Next, I'm off the Pay Pal to see if I can keep them from getting their hands on any more of my money. Hate to give them even one star, it's way too much.

Absolute garbage. Made me jump through numerous hoops and demanded my email address only to tell me what I already knew. A money scheme undoubtedly.

Google ratings sites, especially reviewopedia and you'll see nothing but complaints against these people. I'm going to just try and list the commonly reported scams these people are running.

1). Unauthorized credit card charges.
2). Refusing to or delaying canceling subscriptions.
3). Just making up data. People checked their own data to find that out.
4). Using your personal data to create an actual database as they have none, like those "classmates" sites.
5). Extortion, demanding a fee or they admit they will use your personal data.
6). Still using your data after you pay the extortion fee.
7). They are no longer authorized to transact business, as recorded by the Nevada SOS.
8). The San Diego address is just a mail drop. They are operated out of Las Vegas and Reno Nevada. This has mafia written all over it. Oh, look. Last time they filed a list of officers, one of the two principals is named Joey Rocco. You have GOT to be kidding me. This is the last legal information, from 2013. Since then they have been "converted out". Like a shell game...
