“One Time was enough.”

In my humble opinion, People Finder came through for me!. I am a senior and I needed to do find a next of kin to verify my service in the Veterans Admin. The website gave me the CORRECT INFO! I couldn't afford the monthly fee so for a small charge I received the information. It meant a lot to me that " They" gave me the option of a single search! I will highly recommend this company ABOVE all I have tried online‼

“Ripoff”

Ripoff. PeopleFinders runs a cleverly deceptive website. They automatically charged me a monthly fee of $24.95. I've tried to call and email them for an explanation. To date, I have not received a response. Don't get ripped off.

I joined peoplefinder after selecting one of many "special" offers. I got some info on the party I was interested in, but the next day the PW I set up would not work. I called, but they were closed for the day (It was still lunch time on the Pacific coast) and I should email and get a reply in "1 to 2 days." They again offered me a chance to "join" for more than I agreed to pay for 3 months the day before. Also, they charged me a 'down load fee" for every type of report I asked for, thus increasing your cost by as little as.95 cents to 3.99 for the transactions I thought would be part of the 90 plan. In short, they suck. It seems like everybody wants to skin you and get into your info and milk it for all its worth.

Tip for consumers:
That they may be offering as many as 3 prices for the same packages including one that is astronomical. Be very careful before you accept and be prepared for lots of little incidental charges for the data to be 'downloaded'; not to you computer, but to their system. You can't even print their stuff.

Products used:
General Info on a specific relative.

Before you sign up there is a place on their webpage that says it is very easy to cancel. Just login to your account, go to home, go to account, scroll down and click cancel my account. BUT... after you sign up and login and go to Home and my account, there isn't any "cancel my account" to click. Very frustrating.
Had to call my credit card company, etc. Gave them a 2 because I did find the info I was looking for. But take heed to the reviews!

I ordered one find to get a current address and phone number for one person and this resulted in 4 separate charges on my credit card. The ordering process and charges are confusing. I have send several emails questioning things. They do get back quickly though.
