Don't waste your $$!
July 27, 2023

My daughter is being stalked & we recently got a pfa. We are trying to locate the stalker & used People Whiz hoping to get more information. Not only didn't they provide anything we didn't already have, we actually found out more utilizing the internet for free on our own. I would highly recommend not using this site. Google had more information than these people.

This company is a scam
October 9, 2023

I signed up for a month subscription because there was no trial. I was led to believe I'd get all of the information, but what they give you is very basic. It's all info that I can find online for free. If you want all of the information you have to upgrade to the premium membership for another $69.99. They don't tell you that a regular month-by-month membership is limited. Plus, I did a search on myself. Much of the info was wrong. For instance, they said I've never been married and I've been married twice. They didn't even get my legal name right! But I know it was me because enough information was correct.

Stay away from this company, I wish I had read the reviews before I threw away my money.

Not happy
May 29, 2024

I paid for an upgrade and did not receive one. And I don't understand why the informaiton is not correct. Relatives were not right. I will not use this again unless you can tell me why things are not true.

Incomplete information… poor response…
September 16, 2023

Non existent customer service… trying to locate family member… the information they provided was less than what is already available…… requested more money, and then the information they gave was all about me not the person I requested…after I tried to stop transactions and further payments…They bomb me almost daily with "update supposedly updates". What a scam… I cannot in good conscience recommend them at all!

I went through their entire process and there was nothing about requiring payment until the very end. What a waste of time. I would not have bothered if there was some indication of the cost. This is a typical bait and switch tactic. I am sure that no reputable business uses SCAM tactics like bait and switch. I would not even invest one cent for fear of the abuse of any method of payment that can be transacted over the internet.

CHEATERS!
August 6, 2022

The site stated the individual I needed investigating had a criminal record, then charged me extra to access it. Not only no criminal record but only info was one sorry outdated address. What a waste of money and time

I am extremely disappointed in your background searches
May 12, 2024
Updated review

I am extremely disappointed in your background searches. I paid $19.95 for such an inaccurate info on my spouse that neglected to include even basic info. I'm canceling. I will be posting reviews. It is very sad that PeopleWiz would scam in such a way.

Incorrect info found multiple times and old reports are not updated. Also, cannot search by phone number like other "background check" companies. Cancelling this subscription.

Very little information that I already knew. I was looking for marriage, divorce & death certificates which should be in file and none came up. It appears this site doesn't have the access that is claimed

You have to pay a huge fee for information that other websites give out that's included and it's per report. That's absolutely insane. When I emailed with customer service it was just confusing.not very happy

I figured may as well go for the 6 month subscription, thinking that would be it. But that's just for the very basic profile info, they then ask if you'd like a B premium report on the person you searched which will cost you around $19 more dollars.

Personal Search Review
September 2, 2022

I looked up data on myself to see what might be out there. Most things were correct, but some information was lacking, like personal professional licenses and credentials. Other things were incorrect, like listing me as having lived in Florida at two addresses; I've never resides in that state. I'm not sure how to correct such info, Overall this site gives a general profile, but don't expect everything to be thorough or accurate.

Everything is the same everytime. Nothing changes when you send out reply that say there are new things popping up. If you can't get your $#*! together I will be asking for my money back. It's getting to be a real joke.

Ad is very inaccurate and misleading
December 15, 2021

Worst report ever compared to what was implied or promised. If anyone is considering using this company, turn around and run fast. You will be charged a high amount for basically no info and the asked to go premium.

This is no better and really not even as good as other background sites. Immediately wants you to upgrade. A con game. I will be calling in the morning asking for a cancellation.

I was charged 29 dollars for one month but didn't tell me anything I didn't already knew but will charge an additional 20 dollars for further deep search that's a rip off in my opinion. You let people believe you're going to find out what you need to know by first payment witch you don't. It was hard to decide to pay for people whiz cause life right now has been financially ruff but there's thing I must know about my mate for peace mind orr break away and I got no useful.new information so. Really could have directed that money to something else much needed, thank you for your time

The information provided is not accurate or limited. Especially relating to criminal records. I entered 2 people I know who had multiple arrests and prison time. No records are ever found in your database. Same for other fields.

I used the $1 gimmick 5 days ago and received essentially no info. Was charged $29.99 for a subscription that I didn't know about. They will not refund at day 5. Two VERY rude conversations! Never allowed to finish even one sentence!
