WhitePagesReviews 313

I was paying $60 per month for their premium service, I just received notice 2 days before my next payment that they were increasing my premium subscription price to about $129.95 per month. (I cant recall the exact pennies). The only notice I got on the price increase was when I clicked to log in. Holy heck, honestly? I used their service for research in genealogy and for family reunion updates and for looking up classmates for a large school class. After doing reviews of other search websites, I will find another website for people lookup.
ALSO, a year ago whitepages.com used to include email addresses associated with a person, they state this is included with their subscription, but I havent seen a email listed on a search request for over 6 months.

Somehow whitepages.com started charging my credit card. When I tried to log in or change a password, it says the account is disables. They have NO phone number to call them, as the one listed online (800 area code) is missing a number at the end of it. How convenient. They list every number on the planet, but don't have to list theirs. They also have a 206 area code number and when you call, they ask for the extension. If you try to hit 0, they hang up on you. These people are beyond sleazy!

I did background checks on myself and several people I know. I could not believe how they do the criminal part of the report. For every traffic ticket you have had or parking ticket. They will list it as a criminal offense. It gives the impression you have committed serious criminal acts when you only had a parking ticket over 10 years ago.
I have never been arrested and had only traffic tickets. White pages said I had 5 criminal offenes and 0 traffic tickets.
These companies should be sued for defimation of character. It doesnt matter if some one committed armed robbery, murder or just had a simple parking ticket.
There all listed as criminal offenses.
We need to sue these companies

I use to love this site and I wrote reviews saying just how great they were. It was very informative and easy to go through. I was updated names on my school roster yesterday and after so many I was blocked unless I went pro. The way this site is now I wouldn't pay a penny a year. Just read the reviews. Mama always said "If it's not broke don't fix it" The new CEO apparently didn't know about that little trick. I use to tell everyone about the good this site was. Now I'll tell everyone how bad it is.

The information available on Whitepages and other like (parasitic) services is publicly available. They take that information, transform it, and turn traffic infractions into "potential" criminal offenses in order to strike fear and paranoia into the hearts and minds of honest people (who become terrified that their identities may have been stolen, etc.) in order to stimulate a "membership" purchase. Beyond the bogus traffic-to-criminal misrepresentations in the "report" there's enough recon information to make an easy target of anyone. Time to file a class action lawsuit against WhitePages and others.

I accidently viewed this website and look for my personal information. Surprisingly, it showed that I have a "criminal record" on my background. I knew it was not accurate. I called them and they promised to remove it in 24 hours. I also requested them where they collected this information and how to guarantee the accuracy of those personal information. What my "criminal record" is, and where they collected this information. No further response any more. But they deleted after 3 days.

For interest, I searched my wife's name. It appears again there is a "criminal record". I knew that was a mistaken again. I asked the whitepages, I will have the same story.

I understand they collect personal privacy through internet. But sell those information, especially wrong information makes me real unhappy. It looks like they can add" criminal record" on your background. In future, I'm wondering if others can pay money, the whitepages will help you delete the "criminal record".

Shame on whitepages.
