BeenVerified

I joined Beenverified.com on a trial basis. I only needed to lookup a couple of names. About a week later I knew I needed to cancel my subscription to keep from being charged the full monthly fee. I called their number to do the auto cancellation. (Very convenient). Unfortunately a few days later, the charge showed up on my card. At first I felt frustrated and started worrying about all the time it would take to "make things right". I was PLEASANTLY surprised that I only had to send one email. Within 30 minutes I not only got an apology response, they credited my card the full amount. No worries. No hassles. I cannot say enough good things about their customer service. I will definitely use their service again in the future.

As soon as I purchased a membership, I looked up a couple sex offenders in my area (via Megan's Law website) just to test this app before really trusting it. BeenVerified failed to find a criminal record on the sex offenders I looked up. This is public information readily available. If BeenVerified's search engines cannot detect this, it a useless service. VERY disappointed!

I cancelled my service same day and was refunded after expressing my concern; however, they were not interested in my concern for public safety and would not forward me to anyone who could look into linking the public sex offender database to their BeenVerified search engines.

I am a landlord and expected to use this site for background checks. What a total scam. Very little information is given, so you spend another $9.95 thinking that you will get additional information. Guess what, there is no additional information on anyone that I have used this scam to check out. They should be shut down immediately since they are ripping off the public. Some agency should do a background check on this company!

The person i looked up is someone i know well. The initial information provided (before you pay their fee) included incorrect middle name (she doesn't have one), people reported as family members that she does not know, and places she lived where she has not lived (and some not even visited). The only thing completely correct was her age. I can't help but wonder how the information was "verified". I would not trust their information for someone i did not know if it has this many errors for someone i do know (and can "verify").

The site delivers what it says it will. That is just basic integrity, right? What made this organization exceptional was the customer support. This morning, I requested to know what the process was to temporarily dis-enroll from the service.

This organization not only executed my request, without any extra steps on my part, they also refunded the last transaction immediately! My request was addressed and resolved before noon. Wow! If only every on-line service was this easy to work with.

So if you are curious about trying this service, do it. This site delivers with exceptional integrity.

I used Been Verified ONCE and after searching for a name, I keep getting pop-ups on my computer about the person I searched for. They don't stop! And when I try to contact them, they ask for a member ID, but I never received a member ID! Then I had to send an email to them to ask them to leave me alone and stop disrupting my work day. Who knows how long it will take before the pop-ups stop! I will never use this site again. All the information you want (come to find out) is available online with a little time spent digging. Been Verified is a waste of money.

Joined up, paid the fee and then checked on myself. They had me born in 1898, living in West Virginia (Never been there), wrong phone numbers, wrong relatives, wrong military service, tickets from places I had never been. A complete joke of a web site.

Wow, where do I start? For one, their op-out information is almost impossible to find. I had to go back and forth with their customer support via email to find out that, if you want to delete yourself from being listed, you have to send them an email containing the following:

Dear Been Verified Customer Support:

As per your privacy policy, please remove my listing from your databases:

A. First name:
B. Last name:
C. Middle initial:
D. Aliases & AKA's:
E. Current address:
F. Age:
G. DOB:

Second, even if you take the time to do the above, *they put your information back up on the site in 3 months.* It's absurd.

I'm not going to comment on their paid services because I've never gotten them, but I'd be wary based on others' complaints alleging credit card fraud and big, deceptive charges.

Why are these people search sites even legal?

I found criminal records online through the state database which wasn't on report. No criminal activities at all when we know there have been others in addition to the one found. Similar sites said they found them according to their "report". I went with BeenVerified because they were cheaper and it really shows. I paid like 26.00 about an hour ago and have put in my cancellation already. There is NO TEST period! There is NO refund. It just says there will be no further charges. To make sure this was a really bad site, I checked other 2 other names (it showed a total of 4, but 1 was not what I initially searched for) and found a variety of crazy information as well as incomplete. I think they need to add another section titled "Ripped Off By" and add their name because that has been verified! Very unhappy!

What a rip off! I searched myself before considering this service for our company to do background checks on potential employees. As I normally do, I should've research the reviews on this service first!
- Says you're getting unlimted access to their reports. Not true! Roughly half their reports have additional costs.
- The social report requires an email of the person you're searching. I have mostly business emails. Most people set up social sites with personal emails and even then, it was a joke!
- the only property they listed for me was a house I owned 14 years ago! I've owned 3 since and my existing address didn't even show up.
- I have two speeding tickets in the last year and a half. Nothing showed up.

Worthless... tons of other background sites provide better data.

I found Been Verified to be so useful and worth every cent (only $21 a month). I helped my high school 40th Reunion Committee find 350 students that they had lost track of (out of a class of 500). It took me a few days, but I had such a great time poring over records until at last I found THE person I was looking for. They give date of last confirmed address, phone numbers, emails and even all the old addresses and a map! Especially helpful for those women who have gotten married and changed their names (many times, ha ha). Highly recommended and easy to use.

1. Like too many other websites, this one sneakily makes you await the results of a lengthy search and provide your own information before it reveals what you must pay for a deeper search--seemingly an opt-out monthly fee. (If you decide to pay it, be sure to opt out immediately.)

2. Before committing any money, read Brian's SiteJabber review at http://bit.ly/2ERzUeV and rep Carla's response. It's perplexing why Carla submitted any response, as it completely ignores Brian's primary objection, which is the absence of the paid reports' important information.

I checked myself out and most of it was completely wrong or some made up mess. I don't know who they get their data from, but I've lived at the same address for the last 22 years and not where they say I've lived. Not to mention the email addresses listed were completely wrong except for 1.
Then I checked out my sister's criminal history and most of it didn't list what she had gotten in trouble for. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this useless site. It said $17 under the 3 months and I clearly didn't see that smaller font below stating I'd have to pay $52 that first time. Rip off.
