Be careful! Even after canceling my subscription I was still being charged 4 months later. I sent over 10 emails and had 8 open tickets with them. I have called 3 times and all you get is an automated voice telling you to leave a message and they will call you back. They don't! I have not been called back and they continue to charge me even though I received a cancel varification 4 MONTHS AGO! Noone responds to the emails, noone calls you back! DO NOT USE THIS SITE! They scam you out of your money! If there was an option for a ZERO rating they would have gotten a zero!
I pay for the serch thay say its showing op in the end i didnt got even the name. No refunds! You have to be ashame i wish i can make a review without even one star
The confirmed they found an owner of the number I searched. They collected my $9.99 and once that happened they said - sorry, we don;'t have any information on that number. TOTAL FRAUD!
They claim to have ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED...THEN THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY. NOWHERE ON THEIR WEBSITE DO THEY DISCLOSE THE CANNOT SERVE CANADIAN CUSTOMERS.
Misleading website, as the only thing provided was the person first name. What is the point of this? Waste of time and money!
Don't waste your money. The rating tells a lot about this company is a scam. They will take your money for nothing.
This is a crap site don't waste your time and money. Really really bad. Waste of effort, waste of money!
Random number showed up in my phone under my wife's name (obviously I know her number and this wasn't it). I tried Googling the phone number and found PeopleByName. When I punched in the number it made a show of pretending to find all the number's details with a Matrix-like animated gif or something that made it seem real time. Cute, I thought, but probably fake. Then it came up with a page that said it had located details for all kinds of different pieces of information regarding this number including full name, address, etc. So, like an idiot, I paid the $1 free trial. Got the e-mail that said "We'll get back to you in 24-48 hours." Okay... not quite what I thought, since it seemed to already have found all the info I wanted, but whatever I'll wait and see. Then I get an e-mail that said "Sorry, we couldn't find any info on this number." Seriously?! So basically you scammed me into paying you by making me believe that I was guaranteed to get the information I wanted and then telling me your website flat out lied to me. I made sure to cancel the recurring payment that they wanted immediately and I will be following up with Paypal (thank goodness I didn't give them my actual card number) to make sure no recurring payments are processed.
TL: DR
Total scam, don't fall for it.
Be careful, they have hidden charges, not upfront, much more costly as you go into a search on a person or a phone number
Not very much info i cancelled and they still billing my debit card what a ripoff i will never use this service again
In addition to providing horribly incorrect information, the customer service is one woman who blames the attempts to request refunds as a scam.
Was advertised as "Full Report" for $9.95. Billed my account for $14.95 and all I got was a name. Nothing else. Save your money. TOTAL RIPOFF!
I looked up a number one time for a $1 and was billed $29.99 for the past 6 months and just caught it as it was on my pay pal. Very deceitful
If you use them for one search, they create a recurrent monthly payment on your credit card!
It apparently says so in the detail agreement...
