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.

    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.

    Even though my issue couldn’t be fixed right here and then, my support agent Archie was at least as helpful as he could be. My problem seemed to be kind of out of his control but he was quick to respond and didn’t seem like he was just copy and pasting messages from a book. Hopefully me writing this for him/her grants him some sort of reward or recognition cause he was as great as he could be.

      I love the app. I just couldn't afford it this month. I was trying to get the dollar one and so now I'd click me over to the one month amount and I couldn't afford that. I talked to somebody Sunday and she said that my refund will be coming soon. It's been a week so I decided to text today. I talked to Rona and she set me up and said my refund should be here within 10 days and asked about if I like to have. I said, "Yeah I love the apps. Very good." I definitely recommend it to my friends and if I had the money amount I would definitely get the one month one next time which I'm going to. Hopefully you guys are help me out and get me a free one.

      I wanted to briefly share a success story with you because your service was an integral part of how I was reconnected with my half-brother and half-sisters recently. I am 45 years old currently, and have never met my biological father since he left my mother shortly after she had me. For years, I have always wondered why and wondered where he could be living.

      After a pretty intense therapy session about that, I decided to use BeenVerified to do a search on him and see what I can find. Unfortunately, I discovered that he had deceased in 2018, but under the possible relatives section, there were a few names and email addresses attached to them, so I decided to give it a shot and emailed one. To my disappointment, it came back as undeliverable, so I emailed another one that was listed and got a response.

      Since then, I have been in communication with one of three siblings that I was not aware of that were born after my dad remarried. We have all since reconnected and had a phone conversation and are now discussing a possible trip to meet for the first time in our lives. I am the oldest and the youngest is 36. I can't thank you enough for the service that you provide and how I have been reunited with long lost siblings. I could not have done it without BeenVerified, so thank you very much. Keep up the good work!

      At first I was annoyed because I'd been billed for an account I canceled and then I had to chat to talk to a person. But the person was amazing and found an account I had made under a different email but had never used. He immediately canceled the account for me and got my refund sent out right away! He was extremely helpful, name started with a J.... I feel terrible I can't remember it.

      I was very disappointed in the information I received. I was looking for specific info and they could only provide addresses which were incorrect, relatives that were incorrect, and phone numbers again incorrect. They listed 41 tickets or court appearances. There were actually 4. They repeated the same ones over and over. This was a complete waste of my money.

      Hi there Margaret,

      I'm sorry to hear you ran into any inaccurate information in your reports.

      BeenVerified's public records are collected through official government records such as mortgage deeds & court records, & through sources such as magazine subscriptions,utility bills, etc

      As you just experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct.

      However, we work with the information provided to us within public data.

      You can always email us support@beenverified.com

      This company is fraud. They basically prey on kids and elderly accidentally clicking on their websites and capture credit card information to initiate monthly billing. In our case my 14 year old daughter accidentally clicked on their website and they took information from 14-year old and kept billing her for 1 year before I called to stop them. As I understand from other reviews when one calls it does not mean they will stop charging. It is better to disable the credit cards. Their employees are in China and owners in my personal view need to be investigated for abuse of children who unknowingly fall into their traps. Bad company setup by people who probably have similar history with other companies. I would Google who Ross Levy and Josh Cohen are. They are listed in New York but may as well live in China or Russia where US law cannot reach companies like Beenverified. Beware. Stay away from them and tell your children to avoid such companies.

      I’m very disappointed in this reporting site. I looked at it for a purpose and it showed nothing but the specs of the RVs I was looking at. I decided to put my car in there as I know I used insurance for a flood repair. No surprise there with nothing on the report. I will only do the trial and move on to another site. I will be leaving a poor Google review too.

      I signed up for BeenVerified to confirm the death of a friend's daughter. I found nothing on the profile stating she had died. So, you confirm that BeenVerfified actually list that sort of information, I put in my father's name. He passed away over 10 years ago and yet, he was listed as 100 years old and still living.

      They didn't even have the connection of my father to myself and brother. However, did with my sister. I found that interesting, being that I am his first child and my brother his second. And my sister actually his third child. So, it goes to say that BeenVerified is NOT listing current info, as they have had many years to see via public records that my father passed away in Los Angeles MANY years ago. Glad I did the trial membership...and yes, cancelling is what I did.
