What is BeenVerified and how does it work?

BeenVerified allows users to run multiple searches at an affordable price. While the ability to access private information might put some on edge, BeenVerified provides clear guidelines as to what customers can and cannot do using public records. Previous customers have used the service to verify the identity of partners from online dating websites, find their biological parents, run background checks and look for long-lost friends or relatives.

Its customer service representatives in New York City and Miami are available seven days a week to assist customers with searches or record access. BeenVerified is also developing a service for businesses that will let companies generate leads, discover customer information and find contacts on LinkedIn to grow their enterprises.

    My experience while using Verified has been absolutely amazing. Without the help from the service I would have not been able to find any information close to what I was looking for. So let's back it up just slightly about 4 to 5 months ago I picked up an incredible classic hot rod from a gentleman in his late '80s. Unfortunately the man had left and nobody was able to get a hold of him or find him or anything. The old phone number that was tied to the vehicle was no longer in service so I didn't have much to go on unfortunately however, I tried doing back then searches and things like that but because the vehicle is and it's '50s, the vehicle is unfortunately way too old to do a VIN check to find the original owner. So using your services I was able to find the person that I was looking for.

    However, unfortunately he has passed away but on better news with verified they give you family members of the person that you might be searching for. So not only did I get the original owner's first and last name and age and name of business. But I also got a few of his clothes related family members which is absolutely so helpful. Without the help from you guys, I would have not known where else to go. Thank you so much for providing such incredible services. I definitely will recommend this to anybody who is in need and searching for more information on somebody, especially if it comes down to somebody being catfished. I 100% support verified and is an incredible service. Thank you again for all of your help!

    I signed up for what I thought was a 7 day membership for a dollar. On day 9, there was a charge for nearly $30 on my Amex account. Apparently, it was a 7 day trial that would result in recurring monthly charges if not canceled. I contacted customer service and explained my mistake and they graciously canceled the transaction and refunded me the full amount. Many companies wouldn’t have been as accommodating with fixing my error so I feel it is important to acknowledge their exemplary service.

      Used the free trial for locating addresses for some relatives. When I realized I was charged for a month and didn’t need anything further from the website, I cancelled the account and obtained a refund. The company is very helpful, professional and great customer service and support! The website was easy to use, and gave me all the information that I needed but being an older person I just don’t have a big need for the service. If I ever wanted any more information, I would not hesitate to sign up again.

      Been Verified is a reliable service that is easy to navigate. If you are in need of finding a person, business, address, phone number, email address, etc. I have found it to be very valuable. It has been a time savior that has improved my productivity. Before I retired it was a tool I used daily in my business and subsequently was profitable beyond belief. I recommend Been Verified to all who have the need.

      Customer service was outstanding until this person is passionate about what they do. He exhausted all options available in order to get me to keep my account, but unfortunately, I don’t use it enough to justify it cancellations, quick and easy, very professional. If I ever need a software such as this one in the future, most definitely will be choosing BeenVerified, these guys are awesome.

      Ordered a 1.00 search. Denied any subscription and even cancelled their attempt to bill me later. They did bill me anyway, even though I clearly denied it, nor did I use it. But boom, 29 days later, they billed me. The day they deducted the service, I emailed and asked for a refund and advised of the issue. Oh, they emailed back acknowledging the cancellation (they bill in advance), but never acknowledged a refund and advised. 48 hours later, crickets. 72 hours later, reminding them, still crickets. Scam billing. Unethical. I will remind them every day. I want my money back. Unprofessional billing and horrible customer service. Never give them your bankcard. Pay prepaid, I should have done so.

      Customer Service was excellent, took care of my request right away. I sent a request and it was taken care of by the next day. I was very happy with the time frame to have this taken care of. At first, she could'nt find that correct account and with some digging, she finally found it and took care of it right away. Thank You.

      In this day and age of online dating, you can't be too careful. I take every precaution I can before I meet someone new, so sometimes I verify the person's identity through Been Verified. Most times I have been reassured that the person is who he says he is, but one time he turned out to be a fraud. Been Verified is a great resource that I have recommended to several people.
