    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.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out.

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

    If we have data that indicates that someone has passed, they will be displayed with a status of Deceased.

    We will also include the date of death, their age at time of death and location whenever available.

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

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

    They are advertising $1 trial period for 7 days. I signed up for the trial and they charged my credit card $32.89 for the monthly fee. I called their customer support and she said to restart all over again, I checked 7 day trial for $1.00 and once I put my credit card they charged me the monthly fee again.... I immediately called and cancelled..it is a scam! They lure you with $1.00 trial period and charge you the monthly fee.. Misrepresentation is not a good way to do business....You should honor what you advertise... Bad business!

    I ran one background check, which ultimately was worthless for $1. I was then automatically enrolled in a monthly subscription. No email alerting me, nothing. I ended up with $140 worth of charges for one worthless report when I finally discovered it in a bank statement and had to look up what BeenVerified even was. I spoke with support and they were able to offer a partial refund which was nice, but ultimately I think Beenverified has designed their business in a way to intentionally deceive and steal money from people. If you look up Dark Patterns in UX designs, you will see companies like Beenverified do this on purpose. I would strongly recommend you do not use this software, especially if you only need to run one background check.

    BeenVerified is a scam and complete rip-off. To obtain a report you must sign up for a monthly subscription and there are no options for a one time fee. I paid almost $30 for a background check on someone, after paying for a month-to-month subscription that I didn't need. The information contained in the report (addresses, phone numbers, associations, etc) I had already seen through internet searches by simply running the person's name and state of residence. But the most important information I needed (Criminal History) was locked and you had to upgrade and pay more money to obtain it. Moreover, in the report each heading uses the word "Possible" such as Possible Relatives, etc. Possible data implies not verified, despite the company's name.
