This company is a scam. I ordered a $0.95 phone number lookup. As I went through the registration I declined all other services. They then billed my $2.95 and when I tried to cancel within 24 hours they charged me an additional $2.95 termination fee. Their customer service kept telling me I agreed to this and I am sure I did not. I am a senior executive and Chief Information officer. I know exactly what I agreed to. It is crazy they would argue over $6. It shows they have very shady business practices.
Be careful with the trial for a dollar, or for $3.95! What they don't tell you when they say they give you 3 days, is that you don't have until midnight of the 3rd day. You have until the exact time that you opened the account. They give you a total of 72 hours! That's it! Needless to say I thought I had till midnight and they charged my account $24.95!
Poor form and deceitful!
Recent WEB site revision removed the birth DAY information from all searches. So if you want to find family or friends birthdays you are out of luck with this site. It also makes it harder to discern the correct search record when there are multiple hits. Not much of a finder service without full birthdate information.
They provided me with addresses and nothing else.
Adding large Button "Continue to Report" next to trial offers
"no thanks Continue to Report" link very small.
They should show a synopsis of what they found before you have to pay.
Such as 2 Divorce Decree (county), 1 criminal record (city), 8 address... etc
This would help decide if it worth to pay for.
From what i see all these organization online saying they will give you a loaded report are scam, if they can't give you an idea of what they are selling you. Don't go there.
I was trying to find my fiance's divorce records. They I paid for the one time report. They kept trying to sell me things and I didn't want and when I got the report everything was old and outdated. It showed his ex wife as living in Louisiana and she has been dead for over a decade. Don't bother with this. I specifically needed divorce information and that was specifically left out. It was a total waste of money.
My purchase of a report on my husband, who I have been married to for 36 years. I wanted the newest information. It had 100% accurate information, but nothing newer than 8 years ago. It gave phone numbers and addresses of family members that was accurate as well.
FEW THINGS TO POINT OUT ABOUT THIS POS SITE:
1. IF THEY FOOL YOU INTO PURCHASING A ONE TIME REPORT FOR ANY AMOUNT THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY SIGN YOU UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP.
2. IN THE FIRST MONTH YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR YOUR ONE TIME REPORT AND MEMBERSHIP.
3. THEY STORE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO AND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DELETE IT FROM THEIR WEBSITE.
4. THEY SEND YOU ONE EMAIL TO SAY YOU MADE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM AND ONE EMAIL TO SAY YOU PURCHASED A REPORT.
5. THEY DO NOT SEND ANY EMAILS AFTER THAT. AND THEY NEVER SEND ONE WITH ANY DETAILS ABOUT THIS SAID SUBSCRIPTION YOU SIGNED UP FOR, THAT IS RIGHT NOT ONE! LIKE TYPICAL SUBSCRIPTIONS WHO SEND THANK YOU EMAILS FOR YOUR PAYMENT EVERY MONTH. SO THEY FLY UNDER THE RADAR UNTIL YOU CATCH ON.
6. WHEN YOU CATCH ON AND CALL TO DISPUTE. THEY WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE AT FIRST THAT 3 MONTHS IS ALL THEY WILL REFUND. UNTIL YOU PUSH A LITTLE HARDER THAN 6 MONTHS BECOMES A HUGE FAVOR FROM THEM.
7. THE REPRESENTATIVES AND SUPERVISORS ARE TRAINED TO MANIPULATE YOU INTO BELIEVING THAT YOU IN FACT AGREED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION. AND THEY WILL ALSO TELL YOU THAT NO OTHER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES (EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MINE DOES) SEND A THANK YOU FOR PAYMENT EMAIL EVERY MONTH THAT YOU PAY. THEN THEY ASK YOU AND I QUOTE IF YOU WILL TAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY HERE BECAUSE IT IS YOUR FAULT.
8. WHEN YOU FINALLY REALIZE YOU ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO IS TRAINED TO GET YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE, YOU WILL HANG UP AND DISPUTE IT THROUGH YOUR CREDIT CARD INSTEAD.
9. AFTER YOU HAVE WASTED 2 HRS OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL DO WHAT I DID AND TRY TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS.
10. I HAVE NOT LOGGED INTO MY "PEOPLEFINDERS ACCOUNT" SINCE THE DAY I MADE THE ONE TIME PURCHASE AND TODAY WHEN TRYING TO DISPUTE THESE CHARGES. THEY CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE THAT I NEVER USED OR EVEN THOUGH ABOUT SINCE MAKING MY ONE TIME PURCHASE. AND CHARGED ME FOR IT EVERY MONTH WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR NOTIFICATION. THEY ARE A SCAM THEY ARE FRAUDULENT! THEY ARE TRAINED IN THE ART OF MAKING PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY AGREED TO THEIR SCAM.
11. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP

For what they charge and claim to provide it's the most inaccurate bogus report I've ever seen. I ran this on my son (47 yo) and they couldn't even get his name correct. Most of the rest of his info was also incorrect. Shows him married in one section but then shows him as never being married. I'm guessing trained monkeys could do a better job.
Ps if you go to cancel after you've joined and paid they don't tell you there's a cancellation fee on top of everything else...
Unethical company - I plan to file a legal complaint - charging my card 29.95 and 24.95 per month for 6 months without me authorizing - I don't even know what this company does. I might have to get a new charge card number - this is stealing.
Sign up for trial membership. 95 cents. Did not even come close to finding who I was looking for. I immediately cancelled my membership (about 15 minutes after I did not get results - 1 name). When I received my credit card statement I was billed as follows. 95 cents, $2.95, and $5.95 I immediately called People Finders, rep was not helpful so I asked to speak with supervisor. Of course, supervisor was not available. Left message said get back to me in 48 hours or 2 business days. Over a week now and no call back.
THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS MEMBERSHIP!.
Completely unacceptable horrible scamming company do not waste your time customer service is a joke they do not supply you anything besides the name and phone number. I absolutely cannot believe that this business exist with how they speak to their customers avoid at all costs!
Don't waste your money - little information and they deceive you and make you pay more to cancel the membership... Can only blame myself for being so stupid to order this...
I was billed $9.95 for a premium account that I did not authorize. Tried to call them and could not resolve. I have now disputed with my bank. And, I did not get anything on the report because they don't even report specific divorces/marriage info in my state! Ditch these guys quick.
I selected a. 95 one time fee to display the owner of a phone. People finder provided a fake name that I validated through state and county databases and refused to provide a full report. I immediately realized I was scammed, and cancelled. They charged me $2.95 to cancel. I emailed them and KC responded stating I agreed to the charge when I opted for a 'free trial membership' I did not opt for the membership and have screenshots showing such. The $2.95 cancellation fee only applied to membership selections. They refused to refund. I found they also hide a "LIMITED GUARANTEE" on their site basically stating they can provide you inaccurate information and you still have to pay. I've filed complaints for false and deceptive advertising practices with the FTC, CFPB and BBB. I hope it was worth the $3, PeopleFinders, AKA Confi-Check!
They gave me a Mary instead of a Mark, and ALL these alias`s. Tons of B. S.!
I can`t believe this is actually a place that can be on the web to make $.
I am so angry I`m calling the B. B. B on them.
Checking out my informational today. I noticed the information said I had been evicted from a address that is my home which I make monthly payments on. But it has another town and zip. *******997 customer service representative said it cannot be corrected.
They have another man that has filed bankruptcy 19 times and he is 66 years old. Gee did he start filing at birth? The list goes on.
The customer service representative insisted the information is entered as received. Is in not possible the human error could be their end.
On the upside somethings are correct. Like the spelling of my name.
Be sure to read the fine print. I did a one tome. 95 cents search and did not cancel within 3 days and they debited my account $24.95. If I could rate less than one star, it would be minus 25. They are, in my opinion, nothing but a scam to get your money.
Answer: I am sorry but there is no such website as that. Searching for poeple's records could be costly for those websites. They have to make money off of you some way or another.
