My experience was excellent. I found all the information I was seeking. It was all updated and the app very user friendly. I would recommend this app to anyone in need. I would not hesitate to use again if the need should arise. Thank you.
Hi Tonya,
We're glad to hear you found the information you were looking for and enjoyed using the app. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
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.
Hi Negesti,

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!
I ran a background check and found out plenty of historical criminal data on my search target that I did not know about and that Google and me was unable to find. The 5-day plan for $1 is a good deal. The 12 minute and one dollar investment was a great value to me and I will do it again if the situation arises.
Thank you, Paul! We're pleased to hear we could help you locate that information and quickly. We look forward to having you back again soon!
Kind regards,BeenVerified Customer Care
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.
Hi Amelia,
I apologize for any confusion.

They keep walking you through their funnel and making you wait, in the end it's like $23. They don't mention the payment until you've waited through everything. Don't bother. Their game is to make you wait so by the time you reached the end you feel like you've wasted enough time that maybe it's worth just paying for the results rather than waiting for another service. Spoiler: You can search public criminal records online with the state directly. Avoid this.
Hi Richard,
BeenVerified's mission is to provide easy affordable access to public records, so people can use public data in their everyday lives.
When accessed through a government office, there may be costs associated with accessing public records, conditions on accessing the information, and limitations in obtaining a single type of record.
We try to help save time by offering different search options and possibly provide a lower fee than would apply if someone paid any applicable search fees at each governmental organization.
You may want to check out our app for the iPhone or Android. With our apps, you can run unlimited people searches to get contact info and more, for free and you have the option of upgrading with a subscription to unlock criminal records and more.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@beenverified.com.
Thank you,BeenVerified Customer Care
Just be aware. They wait until they've gone slowly through all the steps of things they claim to be researching, then tell you it will cost you money. They are not up front about that at all. I didn't even bother to pay to find out if they found anything.
Hi Gail:
To better our site, could you tell us what you saw that implied we are a free service?

I very old trick by disreputable buisnesses. Trick the customer into investing some time on the website and offer a low "trial" price of $1. But nowhere on that web page did I see how much Beenverified will cost after the 5 day trial. How much does it cost monthly for their service? 5 day trial? Can I get a valid verification on someone in 5 days? No way to get these questions answered without click on icon to sign up for 5 day trial.
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for reaching out.
We let you know on the sign-up page the amount for the subscription after the trial and that each subscription package will automatically renew until you elect to cancel.
This can be found to the right of the screen under your order summary as well as in the first agreement checkbox under the payment method selected. Normally, the price is $25.47 monthly if you choose to continue on with the account after the 5 days.
Please note, we also include our phone number to the top of each signup page in case you have any questions regarding our service.
Unfortunately, we do show you've had a trial with us before. We currently only offer one trial to each customer. We'd love to have you back using the service again. If you are interested in using BeenVerified, once you are logged in, just click to continue with a paid subscription of your choice.

I have screenshots proving the ill intent of this website: verification that I am not a robot accompanied by a response in red that I have failed to prove I'm not a robot and therefore will not receive the opt out verification email. Reporting this to my state Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau.
Hi Mary,
Thank you for reaching out.
We show you received these messages because you have already opted out.
It looks like you also emailed our support team on 9/17/19 who responded to you the same day with a confirmation of this removal.
Are you still seeing your name listed? If so, please provide a screenshot of that listing or the web link so we can locate and remove it as well.
Thank you,BeenVerified Customer Care
I called numerous times only to be told I was the one that made a BeenVerified account because my phone number was on it. My wallet had been stolen, and I even had a police report. They still wouldn’t give me back my money. They double billed my account, and took me for over $100 before I noticed. Caused me $80+ in overdraft fees and refuse to do anything. Please don’t give them your business.
Hi James,
I'm sorry to hear this was your experience.
Id like to look into this further for you, see who you spoke with to ensure it does not occur again, and look into issuing a refund. However, I was unable to locate an account under the information provided. Could you provide the phone number connected to that account?
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,BeenVerified Customer Care
