This is ** that you guys say it's free and then I spend an hour and then it tells me I have to pay. It is false advertisement, you guys should let someone know that you are gonna make them pay, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.
I have repeatedly closed my Been Verified account and have got mails from Been Verified saying that I have successfully closed my account, but I continue to be charged. This is a bad disreputable company, and should be closed immediately. The company is not genuine and ethical in its customer service dealings.

I went to Been Verified to find information on the person my ex- wife is now living with as I have custody of our son and wanted to know if this person was a good person, Been Verified said they found him and needed payment for me to see the results. Immediately after the payment was made they said they had no information and could not locate the person. I've tried emailing and calling for a refund and to cancel but my emails are returned to me and the phone calls they put you on hold for hours. I found from another site the person was just released from Federal Prison and has served both county jail and state prison in another state (which has been verified by his mother and father). Don't fall for this scam, they say they can provide which is nothing more than False Advertising.
Hi James,
We apologize you were not able to locate the information you were looking for. Perhaps expanding your search could have produce more results. For example If you've submitted your search with a specific city, middle name, or age and received no results, try removing some of that information and running the search again. You may find that we have a record for that individual in a different city than you were looking for them in, or we have a result for them, but it does not have an age attached.
Your account was refunded $22.86. The refund was processed immediately on our end, however, please note that it may take up to 10 days for the refund to reflect on your bank statement depending on your financial institution.
If we can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.

After watching the "loading" process for 15 minutes you find out you get nothing unless you give a credit card and agree to charges. They try to impress you with the illusion they are working hard to get you information when all they're trying to do is get you to a point where you'll do anything to just see "something". DOn't waste your time and money on this bait and switch

I was looking up a couple of possible numbers to call back after leaving my phone in the Uber this morning. One was unknown and I was sure that the other one was the Urgent Care Center where I was calling from. Been Verified came up with the phone belonging to a person, that had 7 jobs and more. The regular white page lookup gave me the exact location. Seriously this would have been a waste of time and money if I had not been looking under multiple resources.

The site don't give you any information. I could have done it free. They charge me just for one day. Say couldn't get my money back because they already charged my card. I think it's a scam. It doesn't give you any information of who you looking for.

You pay for a month's access, and then when you get to the actual search page, you have to pay more for "premium" access, which means that all you are really getting is the person's name and address and relatives. TOTAL SCAM. Steer clear and save your money.

We appreciate your feedback. It would be helpful to know, what specific information are you interested in?
We hope this information is helpful.
Thank You,BeenVerified Customer Care
It is a good website to search someone you don't know much. You will find some information you surprised. However if you are searching someone you know, you want to find some accurate information, this is not work. A lot of information is not up to date, like phone number, address, property. I searched myself too. The address has several errors. I have never lived in another state, they have 2 addresses are in another state. The phone numbers has the only very old ones. Even one personally known guy, his information is very old. I hope BeenVerified can work with the phone companies, make their phone number up to date.
He was wonderful! He was knowledgeable, kind, patient, understanding, and quick. I appreciated working with him to fix my problem I called in about. He is a great worker and a great example of wonderful customer service. Keep him around.

I believe if I simply paste a copy of the feedback that I sent to Been Verified, the purpose of this message will be obvious. Here it is: Hello, Just a quick note to let you know how great my customer service was today. I called for the purpose getting a refund for an automatic monthly payment that I didn't want to happen because I intended to cancel my account. I talked to Nakeisha, who quickly and smoothly identified my account, confirmed the specific transaction and politely agreed to get my refund taken care of. This kind of professional customer service is why I would choose your company first if I ever wanted a Background checker in the future. Thanks!
Hello Joseph.
Thank you so much for providing feedback regarding your experience. We are so happy to hear that all of your expectations and needs were met with the professionalism our customers deserve. We hope to see you again should the need arise!
