This site looks like it's targeting people to scam them for money to get public records accessible for free. They also have some sort of reputation score which sounds like the Chinese Communist party's fascist social 'credit' scoring BS. Reject any organization with this kind of un-American behavior.
On 22 December 2022 I searched MyLife website for free information and was inadvertently charged an annual subscription to this service. The email identifying your charges automatically goes into your spam folder so you have to search for it. If you don't have charge alerts on your account, it can easily take your money for an extremely overpriced service. Who in their right mind would pay $12.95 a month for this "People Search and Background Check Report" membership? There are many other online services that provide a more reasonable service for the precise data you are searching for. When you attempt to contact this company, it identifies that this "so called" premium service can be cancelled at any time by calling a phone number, which directs you to send an email to *******@mylife.com. This is definitely a company that is receiving recurring complaints about unauthorized charges. Do not attempt to access or create an account with this company.
This website wants you to pay to look yourself up and often has inaccurate information on you. I honestly don't trust them. They said I know 6 people who I have never met in my life plus they keep threatening me with a bad reputation score despite the fact I have a clean record all around; no unpaid debts, no criminal record, no tickets and a decent credit score. I would never use this website since apparently Mcafee has a hand in this site and that company has a troublesome reputation to say the least. I really think this website needs to be shutdown for financial extortion, slander and privacy violations.
Not sure why anyone would be foolish enough to put money into it. Not sure what everyone else sees but when I see my profile it shows that it's among the best. Granted I have a clean record but that doesn't mean my reputation is as great as they make it look. Apparently changes were made not long ago because at one point anybody could go in there and just edit people's profiles and some of them were outrageously done in error out of spite. I wouldn't trust this site anymore than my worst enemy.
But low and behold I get a fraud alert within 5 minutes stating that they tried to charge my card an additional $155.xx. Irritated to the max with these thieving companies they had all kinds of info wrong on me couldn't change anything on my profile so I just spent nearly $10 for zilch then have them turn around to try and scam me out of more. Don't run into me on the street I'll get my $10 back trust me. Sick of the brazen thieves in society who never worked for a living who think it's okay to take what is not theirs. Scum and God is watching them all so in the end He will set them all straight!
I purchased 1 single report...on myself to see how accurate it was. For the $9.95 fee they didn't show me anything but my name and age. It kept popping up a window trying to scam me out of $159.99, the info it did show was SUPER dated and terribly inaccurate. Seriously, this site should be shut down for scamming people.
I signed up and gave them a CC # which they said was declined by the bank. I called the bank and they denied ever having been billed or having denied any such thing. So I closed my CC and requested a new #. Since then i have received emails and phone calls from the vendors who had bill renewals charged on my CC account asking for an updated new CC #. My account with MyLife was phished and my information stolen by or sold to scammers. Don't sign up for this, you will be sorry.
Strings you on while "looking for documents" for 5 minutes than makes you enter your personal info. ONLY after this do they hit you with the "premium subscription" horse$#*! we've all come to know and loathe. Don't waste your time with this trash website and the scummy people who "run" it.
For $4.98 I asked MyLife to find a missing cousin. All I got back was data re: myself. Then MyLife added on an additional $155.40 charge for a service I NEVER ordered. I was unable to reach a live person at MyLiofe by phone. I only got a recorded message telling me to Email.My credit card company is disputing the charge. This has been a horrible experience.
After using the automated output procedures on this scam site I received at least 20 email stating my info had been shared with some unknown organization. You can call this scam site and email are not answered. Total scamers who have already been fined by the DOJ
My I found out on my life there was 2 things on my record which are false I asked customer service to delete my files because your selling false reports they charged me a permium price package of $44.85 I'm not a subscriber.
Several people who have had their SIM card hacked within their phone and smart tv's has seen their stolen personal information on this.site.and then see their income tweeted job titles exaggerated truth mixes with lies on this site. Its no wonder why peoples credit card number gets stolen and little to no information found for the person that their seeking info on. Dnt pay these people anything and bc they are trying to make money off of their scamming stalking people and hoping that the victims will pay them to take the fake/ mixed with wee bit truth. I have nothing to gain reporting they s nor to loose. Keep yr money and beware that all these crooks need from you is attention to their site. Sure looks legit sure sure it does. That's part of their charm. Ava n don't be fooled and bc even my information after my SIM card was hijacked ended up on this sit.
Never, ever fall for this.
MyLife dumps all sorts of interesting spam on you. I went for the $1 3 day trial.
Anything they may have promised will cost more and more and more.
Worse- the information about you and others is most probably wrong.
I was surprised to discover that I owned a grocery store three counties away from my address of forty years.
If you go for the trial be sure to record your member number, so you can use it to cancel. They play dumb when you opt out and pretend to have problems unless you do.
Any promises this site makes will be behind more pay walls.
Don't fall for it. Their information is probably wrong.
I signed up for the $1 trial. It took an inordinate amount of time to access the data. Then when checking the supplied results -- it was all outdated.
I called to cancel and found out that the customer service (2 calls same person responded) is located in the Philippines'. When I tried to cancel there were many questions regarding my personal information. They have my name and email along with the credit card that was charged, No need for further information to be given. No satisfaction!
I then contacted my credit card account and found that I had been charged for 2 accounts and billed for $1 on each ( I only signed up for 1).
Then I noticed 2 charges pending in the amounts of $44.85 for Privacy Pro and $50.85 for something called PPL Search.
My next call was to the credit card's customer service, they contacted MyLife and resulted in my money being refunded and the account at MyLife CANCELLED.
Be aware of this and avoid them, as it appears they are a dishonest and evasive con site.
Signed up for the full year for 3 checks each month…. For a year. They used my info for the purchase and gave me mine. Did not ask for it but moved on for the one I was after. Had 2 left! Looked up that person and was chard a one time look up fee for that. Checked my card to see if I was charged and yes…. Plus's a third charge. Hurried to turn off my card so no more charges could occur and stated the calling process. Let's just say not a fun first call and they were not willing to refund my money for the trash services and the theft they were doing. After a long 2 calls the out come is I was charged a total of 267. On my card and they have refunded 59.85…. To my card another 119.55 is promised but has not shown up yet. Leaving me with having paid 89.80 for a thirty day service that I can't use anymore with out begging charged extra because I've use it already for myself. Lol this site will rob you blind. TRASH!
Do NOT give these people your money! The website is FULL of inaccurate information and you dont have to worry about it because a potential employer CANNOT use this bogus website to make a determination. Just look up how many times theyve been sued and what their ratings are
I went to the site, set up an account. It allowed me to lock & "edit" my info on the site for free, so I thought, "Okay, must be legit." I did all the above and it gave me a higher score.
Today, I decided to try to edit some more info. They do not recognize my account and all the changes have been reversed. I was going to pay the 7 day trial, but decided to check for scams and came here to see all the really bad reviews. Thank you to all of you for telling your story!
Interestingly enough, Mylife.com report my employment in Public Safety, but their sights says there's an arrest record... hum. They want me to pay to fix this mess.
Needless to say, I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
I searched my name and it came back that I have a criminal record, I got one traffic ticket over 8 tears ago( infraction). This affects my business because people look you up and will not pay to get full report, they just assume the information is correct.
If ones ex spouse is ducking the law, bill collectors and/or creditors, then there's Nothing better than "Mylife" to send the hunters off into the wrong direction! I'm divorced from my ex wife for years. We've been apart legally since 1999 and I'm re-married and I don't believe she is even though she uses the 3 aliases of her past including my last name. We never had children yet "Mylife" lists her offspring as though they were mine Under "relatives"! Not only is my present wife perturbed that Bill collectors, creditors and Anonymous callers ask if she is the name of my ex wife but when she says NO they think she's conning them. I receive the same kind of calls asking for my ex wife by name even though we live hundreds of miles away. Mylife had better get on the ball and start doing its homework because this sort of sloppy work driven by the information highway can get people set back socially, jammed up in the courts and/or physically hurt!
Answer: MyLife has a "bad reputation" for charging customers after the 7-day trial even after you cancel your membership. It's a scam site.
Answer: It's called extortion. I, too, marvel that it still exists. Where are consumer protections? Unless it is so discredited that prospective employers just ignore it. Who would pay the exorbitant price for it, anyway? It has duped a lot of people, it appears and, for that reason, it should be put out of business. I just tweaked them with an email. Let's see how low my integrity "rating" goes down with its current 4.0, which in and of itself is a joke.
Answer: Don't bother, they will not honor the request! Create your own spam filter so they are not displayed in your inbox. If you really care, forward them to the spam dept. of your ISP. If enough people do that they will die out thru attrition. They have an $800 million judgement against them and will be forced into bankruptcy soon. Problem is they just rename the site and start again in another state. Takes being chased down and prosecuted to death state by state. Such is our wonderful legal system of loop holes letting these businesses exist and operate while simultaneously being prosecuted in another jurisdiction. Makes no sense to anybody but the scam artists and state legislatures on the take $$$$
Answer: Goodluck. It's a scam this site is completely bogus as not worth a second thought
Answer: Sadly, just like a famous rock star once said: "only the good die young"
Answer: Because it's fraud and once they get your account number they just charge whatever they feel like to your account without letting you know.
Answer: You have to contact them via email and request removal. It takes a few days. Copy the URL and reference it in your email. Google: how to delete your name from MY LIFE and follow the instructions.
Answer: Goodluck. It's a scam this site is completely bogus as not worth a second thought
