This site never mentions the cost until you sit and click, click, click and click then wait, wait, wait and wait then it claims it your report but now you must PAY! TO HIGH OF A COST
It has outdated information and if you want to see more it cost more. They call it 'upgrade to premium package'.
One screen says $1. Another says $5. Last screen says $35.12. No way to get back to the $1 screen. It's a scam to sucker you in and get more money.

$30.00 wasted. They gave me practically NOTHING for information. I'd give them a zero star if I could.

I signed up for a ONE month trial run and I just checked our bank account and they helped themselves to more money. I found no info on their site I couldn't find on PEOPLEFINDER.
Does not work just a scam I tryed to search 5 names it had no info this I tryed to search my name it could not find info about me or my phone
I know one of these days a smart lawyer sue this company. There are 1000s of complaints about this company.
Throw away the key on this bastards, pure rip off, they have nothing, only money from sockers like you and me
Total ripoff. You can get everything provided by Instant Checkmate for free through Google searches.
OLD and Incomplete info, mostly from over 10 years ago, including an incorrect name. A GOOGLE search turns up 90% more info!
For such a Large Firm, I felt like I was the only one in the office. Great Product and Great service!

I needed to look up ONE ADDRESS of an old friend. I was sucked in by the "just $2.99" lie. Ok, I think I agreed to pay 19.99 for more information, then found that the "more information" had NOTHING in it that the "standard" service didn't have. Then somehow, I was tricked into a "3 month membership", even though I only needed to look up ONE ADDRESS.
When I saw the $83.43 charge on my Paypal statement, I immediately disputed the charge. What was their response? They completely shut down my account that they say I had paid $83 for, so that I could not even go back and figure out how the additional charges had happened. I guess they didn't want me to figure that out because I would have been able to verify just what a deceptive scam it was.
So I called customer service. She was rude and robotically read from a well-practiced script. She didn't offer ANY of resolution. She did not apologize for the "misunderstanding" or try to help me understand how it might have happen. So I asked what it would do to get my account reinstated. She told me I would have to register, using a different email address, and that I would be charged all of the fees again! And it didn't matter if I cancelled the dispute with Paypal, they were determined to punish me, it wouldn't change anything. I could not reinstate my account. I could only get a new acct under a different username and pay all the fees AGAIN>
BTW, I did receive the ONE ADDRESS I was looking for, but instead of $2.99 amd a $1.99, they tricked me into running up a bill of $126.44! and I got NOTHING else for the additional charges. It's odd that the sent me a receipt for the other transactions but no receipt for the $83. I would not have even known abut the $83 charge if Paypal hadn't notified me. Just another in the long line of deceptive practices they routinely engage in.
This is just a SCAM. Please do not waste your time or money: InstantCheckMate is a SCAM. Nothing is relevant and they just steal you basically.
