I just wanted to leave a review to say thank you and that Spokeo is an amazing sight. I have never used the site like this before my son had stayed the night with a friend down the street he was given instructions not to leave the house I spoke with the mom in the household and told her he was not allowed to leave he just needed to come home after staying the night because of the pandemic we didn't want him out in public. I could not get a hold of him I could not get a hold of the mother I went down there they were not there I was calm for about an hour and then I started to panic we had his sister's is our family and friends driving around looking for all of them the family was not home they had not been home for hours I'm almost third hour of our search for him I was literally minutes from calling the police I was so scared I really honestly thought something happened I just didn't make any sense that they would leave for that long especially after I asked them not to take my son anywhere as I was standing in the driveway praying they would come home I thought about the internet in the site where you can look up information and I got online and Spokeo came up first I put in only the address where my son had stayed the night only the address immediately literally immediately within minutes I had her ex-husbands name and phone number five family members names phone numbers and email I called the text husband's cell phone number that Spokeo gave me he answered right away so they gave me the correct number I was able to within 12 minutes of contacting Spokeo get in contact with This Woman's ex-husband and about 12 minutes 14 minutes from that time I was told that he hadn't gotten hold of his ex-wife she was bringing my son home right then and she was sorry. Other than the fact that that Mom is an idiot I am so grateful that Spokeo was available and I didn't miss use our police resources during a time when so many people need them I was just so grateful and so comforted to know that I was able to reach out and get that information when I needed it was quick it was not expensive at all it was very reasonably priced and honestly in a situation like that it's incredibly cheap because any parent would pay thousands of that point just to know where the child was so thank you very much this site is amazing.

Spokeo is one of the most deceitful companies I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. They offer a service that they know most people are only going to use once and forget about, hence why they'll sneak in subscription services to make money. In many cases you get signed up without even realizing it. "Spokeo Connections" doesn't even seem like it's a real thing and you cannot find one positive review of people who enjoy their Spokeo Connections Subscription. So far I've found that "InfoArmor" and "Privpro" are also some weird branches of Spokeo that were used in a similar fashion.
Most subscription services will email you at least once a week or to tell you about new features or things that you may like. A popular video game related subscription service sends me a very courteous "Thank you for your purchase" every time they charge for my subscription. They make it completely impossible to not know you have the service. Do you know why they do this? It's because they are a reputable company, not trying to hide and proud of their business. Spokeo doesn't email you anything except customer service surveys after you cancel and call over and over again about your "refund for only 1 year because that is all the system can do". They completely disappear from your life. What does that tell you about the company? They WANT you to not know you're signed up so that they get free money. There is no one in their right mind who would pay nearly $40 a month, for multiple years, for a Spokeo Subscription.
My rage for this company sparked me to do some research. I advise everyone else to do the same because you are in for a real shocker ladies and gentlemen. There is a much larger problem than Spokeo. Those of you who obtained a new debit/credit card or thought they wouldn't be able to charge an expired card will find this extra interesting. Most people assume that if the information on your card changes then a company shouldn't bill you until you update the information. This is wrong. Once Spokeo (or other companies) has your information they may be able to charge closed accounts, new cards or expired cards. Your bank doesn't care if Spokeo rips you off. Your creditor doesn't care if Spokeo rips you off. They will all actually happily GIVE out your new card# to Spokeo! They are all involved in a scheme together called Account Updaters. This Account Updater nonsense is disguised as a "convenience" feature for merchants to renew subscriptions without reaching out to their customers so they don't lose sales. What this really is an easy way for Spokeo (and companies like them) to make a lot of money from unsuspecting people and drain their accounts. I'm not sure if Spokeo uses any other private Account Updaters besides the ones from Visa & Mastercard.
You are automatically subscribed to these Updater Services any time you open a credit/debit card and your bank probably won't even tell you. They may even pretend like it doesn't exist. On a pdf document I've found from Visa they even urge merchants not to tell you about it. This is all for your "convenience", in case you lose your credit card. You don't need the hassle of reauthorizing a company to take your money, right? God forbid your service get interrupted while you wait for a replacement card. You may even start to think about why you use a service to begin with or catch something that wasn't supposed to be there when the company contacts you about updating your billing. The horror! This feature wasn't "convenient" for me at all when it came to Spokeo. Even with their pitiful refund I'm still out about $300. Without this wonderfully stupid Visa Account Updater creation that amount would have been significantly reduced.
My next mission is to find out if I can opt out of these Updater Services from the major credit card companies all together by directly calling my bank and creditors. I'm going to be sending them letters as well. I'll be sure to mention Spokeo as an example of how the system can be abused every time I write or call. Then after that I want to see if there are any ways to revoke a company's status from the big club if they blatantly abuse it. Spokeo has to pay for every card# the Updater Systems have to find and is a rather large client, so the chances of that are pretty slim. Your creditor or bank will most likely side with them. I am researching if I have a valid complaint to send to the FTC and if they would look into some of Spokeo's other secret "third party processors" and "updaters". I also want to see about if anything can be done about forcing more disclosure from the major credit card companies about this alleged "convenience feature" and the companies that use them. I am even going to cancel other well known Subscription Services that use these Visa/Mastercard/Amex Updaters just because I can no longer trust them after my experience with Spokeo.
