This site is crap
July 25, 2020

I needed to do a background search on an individual. This site provides nothing and kept asking for more money as there "were significant concerns". There were none. SO NOT USE THIS SITE- it is a total rip-off

Hello James,
Although we are sad to see you were unhappy with your experience, we appreciate you taking the time to offer us feedback. While we wish we could provide all of the information to our customers for free, we do pay to access our data sources and it costs money to maintain our website.

Thank you

Watch out for Intelius - I used Intelius to get a phone number of a person I needed to call and they offered this search for $0.95 ( half off)... little did i know that I was actually subscribing to their monthly indenity service ( had no idea, it wasn't obvious) probably some of that small print.

Any was I called them and the said that they would stop the subscription, but the $19.95 they took out of my checking account was their's and they were going to keep it. I said that I was willing to pay full price for the phone number I wanted ($1.95) and they could reimburse me $18.00... but they said no too bad you signed up for it so we are keeping the money.
Watch out for Intelius!

A+ customer service
October 4, 2022

I didn't pay attention to the reoccurring charge if I didn't cancel within 5 days so I was upset when I saw a $37.00 charge to my bank account but I called and the lady was very nice fixed everything so my account would be cancelled and stopped the charge as well

They wouldn't actually review the number that I found was a scam I did the work to find out that this company was a scam not this one itself they're lazy and don't actually do their job they just want your money so I'm here to report them for being a scam and about other scams such as credit assist.

June 16, 2022

I got a suspicious phone call. Unfortunately, Intelius wasn't
able to identify the source. I was charged $34.95 today so I called Intelius to contest the charge. However, no contesting was needed. Jen was so nice and professional. In the future if i get more suspicious call, I will use Intelius thanks to Jen.
Sincerely,
Mike Luckovich

Zero starts would be more accurate. I accidentally hit the background check button and was charged over 30.00 dollars for a bull$#*! report. There was nothing in addition to the people search. NOTHING. Blank. Yet they would not refund me. THIS "SERVICE" IS UTTER BULL$#*!. THEY ARE SELLING YOU OLD INFORMATION... THEY DO NOT UPDATE THEIR REPORTS. Avoid them at all costs.

I was searching for someone and I ended up on the INTELIUS site they offered $1 for a month, and I entered my credit card my Norton 360 flagged me with a notification and I didn't press the continue button and that site got my credit card instantly they charged my card
Purchase $2.13
Purchase $4.33
Purchase $4.99
Purchase $4.99
I am still wondering what happens to my $1 offer.
I can see why they are calling PCH "MONEY Grabber" from a $1 offer do you see how much they kept on charging me I had to call the bank to cancel that card if not I will end up having a BIG problem

Their ads specifically say they offer their service for free and then they won't give you any information without getting your payment.
