BeenVerified

I thought I would try their 5 day $1.00 trial. This is one of the most misleading sites I have seen in a while. The info they offer can easily be found on Google search. BUYER BEWARE, they use an old tactic called "FOR A BUCK MORE", which I myself used many years ago in marketing. Give them a taste and upgrade them for additional fees. They don't stop there. Canceling turns into the real scam and motive. I called to cancel. Automated system verifies my cancelation and then transfers me to a customer service rep who informs me that I must answer several questions and tell them why I am canceling. I told her I was not interested.

Info paid for was a waste of money. Google would have given me same info. Gave me my address email and False information. No up to date information on anything. This is a scam. Misleads you into getting more information than that was given and makes you pay for premium info. 23$ fast easy affordable? Yeah ok. Do not use this site!! Warning!! I didn’t listen and now I am so upset. I immediately canceled after looking at the bs info they gave me. So mad.

I was looking for information about my cousin who passed away a few years ago when I was very ill. BeenVerified had a deal for $1 as long as you cancelled before 5 days. I used that and got my information then cancelled my subscription. My credit card was billed for $26.89 even though I cancelled way before 5 days. I called to check it out and was told there is no record of me cancelling which is wrong. If you need the money that bad I'm sorry for you and will definitely not recommend you. Sorry I can't give 0 stars.

I cancelled my account immediately almost immediately as the information I got from "Been Verified" was poor. I got better info on my own. Then I thought I would pay additional 19.95 for a court runner, and what a rip off, less information than I had already obtained! Been Verified ID **, I should have demanded my money back, but they have it set up to cancel through an automated system so they can keep the original $22.86 and the "Court Runner for $19.95, so the total rip off was for $41.81. Small price to pay to see just what a joke the information was! I lasted 4 days awaiting the final report, and when I got more poor to mediocre information I cancelled immediately.

I signed up for a $14.00 trial. I tried it out on a background check for myself. Info I got back was hopelessly inaccurate and it was vague so I wanted to see the full report and they wanted to charge me another $2.99. So I was going to dispute the charge through my bank and I looked at how much they took out exactly and it was minus $44.58 they took out that I did not authorize. So I have to wait about a week for the charge to finish processing then file a claim which can take up to about 90 days. So be aware of BeenVerified. If you fish in this pond, you get bit by a shark.

This site had me believing my sister had lied about my stepmother's death. I know my father died and they have him in his late 90's. How can you trust any further information. Out of date, out of touch. Go somewhere else!

My experience is similar to most of the one star reviews. Signed up for something I thought was free thinking they needed credit card info only to verify my name and I’m not doing search for nefarious reasons. To add insult injury they ask for more money to access “premium” information on the person being researched. The person's info I got was mediocre, slightly better than my google search that led me to beenverified.com.

This company is a ripoff. At first, it seems like a free service then after waiting 15 minutes for the reports they finally tell you there is a $25 fee. What they don't tell you is after you agree to pay the $25 fee that it automatically keeps billing you every month. Don't use them. It is a scam to start stealing money from you every month!

BeenVerified.com fails to deliver accurate information about the Subject. What is going on here? I ran a check on myself and none repeat none of the information was accurate. I plan to ask Paypal for a full refund because the information furnished was completely false.

First I had to say I take responsibility for my credit card continuing to be charged however it was a bad time in my life and I would like to see companies after 3 months of charge eBay card be required to check with the individual if they want to cancel their account. Now after I found out that I have been charged several months I thought okay I'm going to check one more report and then I'll cancel my service and then want to charge me again. So I went online to find how to cancel BeenVerified. I did go through a bunch of crap then they charged me $35. Do not waste your money.

Your site says free then you waste 15 minutes of my time and tell me the report is $22. $22 is not free. Free means no charge. Your company not right by doing this. This bad business. How can expect to start a business relationship when you start with a lie. I just opened a business in which I am going to have over 150 employees within six months and wanted a reliable company to do background checks. Tell me one reason why I should choose your company and be truthful not misleading please.

I recently did a google search for some information and found something that took me to BeenVerified. I did the report but decided not to spend the money for a subscription. I received an e-mail for a free 5 day trial and went ahead. I did not read the e-mail closely and assumed the trial would end automatically. I received an e-mail receipt from PayPal showing the new monthly subscription. I immediately e-mailed BeenVerified customer support asking to cancel my account and refund my money. Within minutes, I had an e-mail saying my account had been cancelled and would not be charged further. I then received an e-mail from PayPal that my money had been refunded. I am impressed by their quick response and integrity. While I do not anticipate doing this type of research in the future, if I do, I will use BeenVerified again without hesitation. Thank you BeenVerified Customer Support.

This company acts as if they are building this incredible an incredible report for you. The entire process takes about 15 minutes of your time. Their site says "Search Any Name for Free! Billions of records at your fingertips. Just download our app." However when you perform a search and then answer several questions, and then watch as it builds and builds, you are sent to a page with all of the information asterisked out. You are then told that you have to pay $22 to view the information.

I did a five day trial for 1$. I cancelled my account and they continued to take 25.47$ a month for two years. When I finally noticed I immediately called them. Customer service refunded me about 100$. Said she could only go back four months. She said that she could see where I had cancelled and she would put in a ticket to get the rest of my money. She said they would respond in about 48 hours. After a month of the run around and about eight tickets turned in with absolutely no response. I called back and demanded to talk to a supervisor. He told me that I was SOL. There is no evidence that I cancelled my service. What about the first representative that refunded me 100$. He said she was just being nice! Suggest people don't use this poor excuse for a company and tell everyone you know that they are a ripoff. I just wonder how many people they have done that to.

Customer service is very responsive and personalized! Very easy to work with. I even contacted them on a Sunday and they responded within a few moments. I’m amazed at the Information that is available on people, and pleased that they make privacy a priority when I reached out to them.

This website is a total lie and scam from the beginning to end. I was looking for some background information with the judgment & liens option (I thought I will get this based on the main website page) and decided to fork the $22.86 (discounted) for unlimited reports for one month. Ran the report, and the picture that came with the report was somebody else (for a second I thought I typed the wrong name); most of the information was outdated and most even wrong. Nothing about the judgment & liens - for that they want another $15 found on a button called "premium information" not in the report you just ran under "Criminal & Civil" as one might think. OK, since I am already in this, I fork another $15 and get the information.

Recently, I noticed charges on my CitiCard account by BEENVERIFIED.COM which I did not recognize and had no recollection of authorizing the charges. CitiCard support informed me that these charges began in May of 2016 and amounted to $586.**. Due to health issues, I did not realize that you were charging my account until now. I vaguely recall that I had some interest in locating a friend from the past and, via a search, went to your website. Since you have my card number, I obviously authorized what I thought was a very small charge for a one-time search. You have been charging my account ever since. I would never have authorized that.

The site was unable to verify the email information I was cross referencing. The dollar charge was unnecessary at that point and I can only get half the $ back because I was 1 day late in canceling the account. I’m assuming this is where they make some money. Charging people and refunding half.

This is absolutely the worst purchase I have ever made. I should have just burned 22 dollars. This site claims that they have all this information so I bought the one month 22 dollars just to find what I could have seen for free on Google and on top of it this site was worse. I found more on Google than here. BeenVerified didn't even show my age.

I am extremely disappointed with this people search website. I paid $23 for the website to tell me the exact same thing I can find for free! Once you pay the initial $23 for the basic search they offer a "premium search" for an additional $15 which I paid and it told me nothing else! And that $15 is only for one person! I can't use the premium for every person I want to search, no I have to pay $15 extra for each one! Are you kidding me?! Plus you only get a limited number of people you can search without being charged extra. I assumed since I was paying for a month I could search as many people as I needed to but no. I was so angry I cancelled my subscription within 30 mins of doing it. I wish I never gave them my money. What a rip off!

This was an impulse buy, if you will. I decided to look up some old college and military friends that do not use social media (which shows a lot of sense these days). But the data I found was contradictory, out of date, and much of it was just plain wrong. Since I had already paid, I did the same for myself and found that it was just as bad. And if you want to dig any deeper, they try to get you to buy a 'Premium' package, a little detail they avoid telling you upfront. Besides, if an old friend has had legal troubles is that really something I need to know in any detail? And then, adding to the mess, when I hit ten profiles the ability to search any further just stopped. I ran the search on an 11th person and though the page said it was being delivered nothing happened. I ran it again and had the same result.

I get a lot of phone calls for someone I don't know. For some reason, BeenVerified has my phone number--a number I've had for more than 15 years--associated with another person. I get creepy calls, telemarketing calls, and tons of wrong numbers for this person. No other background site has my number associated with this other individual... I've checked. I called today and was rudely informed that there's nothing I can do to have them fix the record. I can't opt the person out. I don't know the person. I'm stuck because these guys are shady. They act like their service is just magically pulling from public records.

I did not pay for the service; I only want to remove my info from their site. I went through their online process, which includes giving them an email address. They are supposed to send a verification email back that I want my info removed. No verification email was ever sent back to me though. When I tried to do it again, it says that an email was sent out, etc. When I called them, I was told that I am the only one who can remove my info via the opt out process that did not work and that I cannot do it again! So my info can never be removed, because of their ridiculous Catch-22.

Do not waste your money! This is a rip off a total scam. All the information they charged for was old and out of date or untrue stuff, you can find for free on the internet. It took three tries to cancel the membership. One 20 minute phone call and two emails and you will not receive a refund. Do let the ads get you.

My wife and I have been flooded with emails from Been Verified. The information is far from accuracy. We’ve deleted the false information from our LifeLock account. And Been Verified seems to delete the information and anyone can start another account within hours. My wife and I are really thinking about hiring a lawyer about this company.

I discovered unauthorized charges on my credit card after using the service for what I believed was one-time (not a subscription). When I called, I was told I cancelled but there was a "re-subscription". The representative told me they would cancel it for the future but was unable to provide details as to how or when I approved any type of subscription. They did not quickly offer to refund the charges; I had to insist and then they only agreed to reverse the four most recent charges while their support team will have to look into reversing the older 3 charges.
