You advertise unlimited, full reports
October 24, 2021

You advertise unlimited, full reports. Upon paying $27.99, only got name-age-city-state-birthdate. Then asked to pay am additional $29.95 to get criminal records. What a rip off.

Total BS
October 6, 2021

I saw their ad and for a lark I ran a search on myself. The report stated I have criminal charges against me. To see the report they want a subscription. That is total BS. There are no criminal charges against me. They are just trying to make money fraudulently. Run away from this scam.

What a ripoff.

I called to get my money back and the rep was rude. I called my bank and they have heard about this company before. They will get my funds back.

Terrible research of information on the site! Not only was almost all the information incorrect, but in order to go deeper and get criminal, bankruptcy, lien information, you have to purchase a premium subscription which is more money. But they don't tell you that upfront. I did it on myself and it had me married to the wrong person, related to the wrong people and living in the wrong place. Don't waste your money!

Terrible
February 19, 2021

I used this service once and did not subscribe to anything. It was supposed to be a single inquiry. All of a sudden, I find myself being billed $27.99 a month for a subscription, so mind your checking account, especially if you have a debit card attached to it. I'm finding all kinds of fraud on my account this morning coming from Great Britain, The Netherlands, etc. It's a crazy world.

Stay away
February 16, 2021

Site hooks you with the "opportunity" to receive a lot of data about an individual. For us, It produces garbage results with the "opportunity" to upgrade (for another fee) to received the data they originally promise in the promotional data.

DO NOT USE and STAY AWAY.

I used this site once and responded to their email saying I wanted to cancel my subscription-only wanted a one-month subscription. I am now finding out you can't respond by email, you have to call! They have been charging my credit card for months now before I figured it out! They are unethical and underhanded and I would give them a zero if I could! Don't waste your time with them-report was outdated and incomplete!

Incomplete information
August 20, 2020

I needed to do a criminal check on a possible co-worker so I used this site. The information provided was incomplete as far as reason for arrest and dates of arrest. General information. I gather more detailed information by doing a city court search. I am sorry to say I did not check reviews first. I also cannot find a way to leave a review on their site, which should have been a red flag to me that they are not competent.
