Not accurate information
March 2, 2022

Not accurate information. Even the easy information to obtain is wrong. My husband has been married twice before me and has a criminal record. This search pulled back nothing in these two areas. Further more, it did find multiple emails but then why only 2 social media sites? ITS CRAP!

Terrible service
August 14, 2022

Terrible service. To get any information that matters, one must pay an additional fee. Also, some pertinent information, such as marriage and divorce records, are not available. What a waste of money and time.

Rip off!
March 5, 2022

Rip off! Don't pay for the already known information that is given. This payment does not include any arrest records, stops or even permits they just keep asking for more money to upgrade reports. Creeps!

I looked up multiple family members names and looked at their criminal records only to find that none of them were accurate. My childhood rapist has "no criminal record" apparently but he's currently in prison for raping me as a kid.

You are like all the rest…I checked myself…. While searching msg flashed on screen- "criminal records found…. Warning graphic content"…. What a pile of crap. I have no criminal record. Sensationalism! Don't waste your money, folks!

Only info you gave me is what I can publicly see online and some of the info so far is wrong such as she was married and she's now divorced. It does not give her current number that she's had for three years min. In fact I'm highly disapprove!

Well
April 2, 2022

Well - I haven't really seen anything yet, and it's annoying to be asked at this point how my experience has been thus far. Also - you should have a way to cancel service online vs (only) a phone call.

This is terrible
May 12, 2022

This is terrible. Nothing was really uncover. Everything was superficial and could have been obtained without paying your fee. The public social media accounts didn't even come up. Absolutely disappointed and a waste of money

You charge a ridiculous amount of money for information that's available anywhere on the internet. Cancel my subscription it's 10/30/2021 and I don't want another charge pulled from my credit card. I'm going to screen shot this and post at PayPal.

Don't waste your time or money!
June 26, 2022

Don't waste your time or money! I submitted my myself for the report and this only provided very general & cursory information. For instance, birth date, some former addresses (incomplete), astrological sign—I mean really!?! There was nothing included re education, work history, or other areas that they'd mentioned which I'd assumed would have been listed. Will, definitely, cancel…pls delete me from your database….

It costs too much for this basic amount of information. And no guarantees that it'll come back with facts. Every time I search myself or my raggedy boyfriend it says there's no criminal history but that's completely inaccurate

Surprised, but not really
August 23, 2022

Looked up to see if a spouse was lying about social media accounts. The "I only have this one" phrase for years, then August 2022 hit with reality he already was. Other info was completely real and accurate so I knew without a doubt it was him.

I'm sorry to say that I feel totally duped and ripped off!
Almost every single item in this so-called report says, "no information found!" The few items that did give any information we're totally incorrect or about the wrong person!
Can you please refund my charge for this misleading, fraudulent "report'!"

Quality of service, having to pay to get anything
October 17, 2023

It seemed to be fine at first but the information on the person is way out of date, plus there were like five or six different people with similar names in the report that have no relation at all. This could seriously cause a person harm.

Specifically searching for Marriage, divorce, and death certificates ~ found none. Also current addresses and phone numbers. Based on my own report ~ useful because I've moved so many times ~ what you display is not comprehensive, sequential by date.

Disappointed your report pulled up info that was on others with same name. I'd like to cancel and be refunded. I got nothing useful or informative out of this report at all. Think this is a scam and reportable.

You sure don't get much for the basic $27.99/month membership. People Whiz hasn't uncovered anything on anyone I didn't already know or could have found out on my own just by looking people up on Google or Facebook. Honestly feel like I've been ripped off!

Waste of Time
September 21, 2023

Record gives ridiculous dates i.e. Wedding date many years AFTER death date. Font is MUCH too small to be readable without magnifying glass;; report contradicts provocative indications during info input i.e. "we found criminal activity" vs. "no criminal records"

A bit of money to be too excited yet. But that may change. At 62 years old don't much matter what is public for myself. But still anxious to see. Hopefully I get to comment later on my experience here
