Your report keeps telling me he has no alias, criminal record, permits but I know for a fact that he does. I just upgraded and got same thing. I wish I could cancel my upgrade and get my money back because I don't believe this app is as good as it leads itself to be

I ran a report on myself. Since I knew all that it might find, I felt this was a good way to check it. In fact, I wasted $29.95. There is a lot of information "out there" which it should have been able to find (such as my first marriage) but it did not. It said my second wife and I were married, but also reported that we were divorced, which is totally untrue. Very incomplete or inaccurate data on phone numbers and email addresses. Essentially, a total waste.

PeopleWhiz attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

This site does not provide what it advertises
February 16, 2023

This site does not provide what it advertises. Even well-known public records states here "none found". It also advertises that for your $1.00 five day trial, you have access to all the same features premium offers. Absolutely NOT true! It barely provides the basics that you can find anywhere online and it won't even cost you a dollar. I'm very disappointed.

Very interesting how information is reported
March 16, 2022

Very interesting how information is reported. I searched my own info. 1) the results were (maybe) 15 - 20 variations of my legal name. 2) report listed 2 (out of 4) relatives I've never met in my life. I'm an amateur genealogist with extensive knowledge of my family tree. AND 3) I will continue my search of individuals just because I'm nosy

You sucker me into a 1 month trial and then don't tell me $#*! about the person. Like a birth date? Really that's all? Then you charge me $20 more and I don't even know what I'm going to get for that. This feels like the biggest waste of money I've ever spent in my life so far.

Several records were incorrect
May 5, 2022

Several records were incorrect. Marriages and all names were wrong cause I know their names because of children. And Criminal Records pulls up so many that are not the same name as I put in for a record. Several different things. One did not have the Divorce Dates. Thank you. I hope this helps to better your site

Disappointed
November 1, 2023

The information is NOT free as is advertised. I paid the 1 month fee, but then every person I searched for came up with no marriage records even though I know 99% are married. The disclaimer says some married couples choose not to make their marital records public, but it would be hard to believe that 100% of all couples I searched, across different generations, would have made this election. I didn't receive any more information than I found for free on my own.

A lot of incorrect information
May 10, 2022

I ran a check on myself. A lot of the information was either incorrect or didn't pertain to me. Addresses for the last 10 years were the most correct. Tons of phone numbers, including the one marked at 100% were incorrect. Email addresses were also mostly not related to me. There were many traffic violations, none of which were mine. If you are trying to locate someone, it is unlikely you will find them through this service.

Crap
November 25, 2021

Boring I almost fell asleep. Completely disappointed by the lack of information. Any idiot with Google can look up the information why on earth would anyone pay for you to do it. Does the inaccurate information cost extra? I want my dollar back.

I received notice of criminal records found
November 7, 2022

I received notice of criminal records found. When looking at report those records are of a different person. Some similarities in name however, different middle names or birthdays. Same issues with social media accounts, phone numbers, and most categories state "no records found " on searched categories

Worst ever
April 30, 2020

Paid for just one month. It told me and my husband that we had no social media, criminal history. Nothing. The only thing it had was our address. But it offer you another premium package for an extra 20 bucks. I wouldn't even give it one star.

Not at all happy. Didn't know you would continue to auto bill me for service. Family tree and relatives are unknowns with similar names. Spouse shown still living, deceased for 5 years. Addresses only go back 10 years. Many professional licenses not shown. And many other disappointments.

People Whiz is an absolute joke
October 26, 2022

People Whiz is an absolute joke. Don't waste your time or money on this site. You absolutely get zero information on the "free" report that you are initially receiving. They want you to instantly upgrade costing you a minimum for 19.99 and up. Waste of time! Beware!

The information provided on here has really gone downhill. Half the information is not even correct. Very disappointed. I used People Whiz quite a bit a year or so ago and it was a lot more helpful at that time. There is no information in these reports you cannot simply find in a google search. I would like a refund please. I keep coming back in hopes you have improved your software but I am more disappointed every time.

Surprisingly Disappointed
February 9, 2022

I have accessed your basic program for the last 2 hours and paid the basic 1 month fee (even though I also recently found a site giving initial free trial).
I found points of inaccurate info on my husband. I want you to please refund my credit card now. I have had your service for much less than 24 hours considered to be the ethical time-frame for reversal of an unwanted business transaction for any reason. Thank you, G. Worley. *******326
