I, being the nosey piece of $#*! that I am, hopped on to find out who my whore of a girlfriend had been texting and sucking on. Paid the buck, then got billed 30, then 32 more, and on and on. Finally had my credit card peeps smack them in the scrotum. Found out it was an old douche bag that lives across town, and of course he drives an old, red Chevy truck with a rebel flag in the back. That's ok, because he can have her. He can also have the Chlamydia I gave him by proxy. Got my money back (thru my credit card co.), And when I wake up in chair, my mouth bleeding. Dripping blood, this is no good. He is Egyptian magician, I wake up, have red shank around it.

Where's Your $#*!ing Service After You Pay?
October 22, 2021

Like most the ask for some kind of payment for detailed information. So I tried the $1 trial then get a message that says your number is being researched, will take 24 to 48 hours. Why the $#*! is that you useless tool of a website. Negative seo your site so it gets lower rankings so we all can see less of your bull$#*!. $#*!off!

Scam
July 8, 2019

Asked for a refund and received an email confirming but received no refund, I learned my lesson. It's all lies, even when you do the text search and it says"available" it's a lie. I've done the test search and got the available check mark just to put in money and have it say that the information is not available. They also promise to give you a refund if the search is unsuccessful but that isn't true because all they gave me was in store credit. Don't waste you time or money.

Awful Scam
December 28, 2022

They charged me automatically after the seven day period, no warning, and no refund upon immediate cancellation. Thirty bucks down the drain. On top of that, they conveniently didn't even have the info I was looking for. BUYER BEWARE.

Complete Ripoff
May 13, 2023

I searched a phone number. It said it found information. I paid for a report. It sent me to infotracer.com for my report. I paid infotracer.com to see my report. Infotracer.com say they have nothing to do with peoplebyname.com. I have gone back and forth with peoplebyname.com. They give me one story and then another. They finally agreed to refund my money,

I took a one week trial thru PayPal. The only number that I tried came back with just a last name. Nuff said. I immediately canceled online with no problems and went to PayPal and made them inactive for recurring payments.

This company is a scam. I paid $13.97 Canadian for a phone number search. After several emails sent I still have not gotten a response as to where the information is I have paid for. Of course there is no phone contact for the company!

Fraud, Scam, Thieves!
December 23, 2018

Fraud, scam. No reply from them. Signed up for a $1.00,7 day trial. They did nothing and did not respond to my emails. When I contacted customer service to cancel was told I would have a reply in 24 hours and still nothing. These crooks need to be stopped!

Good data
December 31, 2015

Good data decent price. Have not had a bad experience. If they don't have name they'll research it and email you in a few hours when its ready. Also the price is pretty good at 9.99 a month if you decide you don't want to spend the 29.99. Cancelling is easy and can be done over the website anytime prior to trial but i decided to renew for the 9.99.

Stop selling people's personal information! People already have a hard time keeping hackers and phishers from exploiting us. You are despicable! I hope you

In Feb., 2018 I paid $1.00 to try their service. I didn't like it, and cancelled. Upon review of my Paypal account I saw their regular monthly charge of $29.99. So I sent them a message to confirm cancelled. When I saw the $29.99 again appear on my April statement I called People By Name, and left a voice mail restating my cancel request. Within minutes I got a call back from Franchesca. She was wonderful! She actually listened to my message, and quickly defused the situation. She explained (and this was the case for me), that people sign up with one email, and either contact them on another, or leave a difference name, they can't match the account to help, and call backs, especially from an 800 number often go unanswered, (I'm guilty of this.) She offered me a refund, which I appreciated so much, and wished me a good day. Thanks and have a great day.

They suck! Scammers!
August 12, 2017

I paid for a one time service for $5.95 and 7 days later, my
Card gets charged $29.99 two months in a row for something I did not even ask for. Looks like this is a scamming business and a class action suit needs to be filed against them. Dirty business people are going to have to pay a lot of attorney's fees.

DISHONESTY
June 4, 2018

I got a call, but nobody spoke on the other end. When I called back I got a message that the phone was out of service. I contacted PeopleByName and got their message that the person who called me using that number was found. I immediately paid for the report and then got other message that the person who called me was being researched, and the report will be delivered in 24-48 hours. That's dishonesty. I am NOT going to use this service again and I will leave my reviews everywhere for people to know about it.

Morons or Scammers
January 8, 2022

They make you sign up for membership by month for $1.00 but you can cancel before 7 days. However, if you cancel, they don't send the report you paid the $1.00 for & signed up for. Probably scammers.
