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.

Jive provided EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I provided minimal information and he was patient and able to resolve my issues Jive provided information and was very professional, I am not computer savvy and was slow in providing the necessary information, Jive was patient and walked me through the process, he was even able to explain the charges on my bank account.

Good to learn the information of the history of cars sold. Including the history of services used in that car and any accidents where the car was involved which are important to purchase the car and that information sometimes is not disclosed. But again the information that this company give you is the best and very well written and given in details.

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!
Thank you for reaching out.

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.

I used BeenVerified for a limited time. However, during that time, BeenVerified was focused on service excellence and especially customer support. It provides as much detail as you want and it is a very simple process to use. I would highly recommend BeenVerified for information on yourself and others. It's amazing to see what information is out there and how professionally BeenVerified assembles and displays that data. Excellent organization overall.

BV rep patiently worked with me as we tried to retrieve all of my info that was there before my account expired. He was great and tried everything to get the info back for me.

I paid $1 for a one time use of the site. I don't know where it said that I automatically get a monthly account after 7 days, but I sure didn't see it anywhere. I used it the 1 time with no real results and never used it again. 1 month later I'm hit with a $30 withdrawal from my PayPal account. I feel like I was scammed.

I would highly recommend this site to my friends. It was easy to get the information I needed. The sign up process was easy, the reports are clean, and load very fast. It is a comprehensive analysis of the vehicle. It is great that you can search so many vehicles in a short time frame. This makes the car buying process much less stressful and provides reassurance.

The service was able to confirm my suspicion that I was dealing with a scammer. It's unfortunate that these days more than ever we can't take people at their word. No ongoing need but I will use the service again on the future should the need arise. They seem to do what they say.

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.
Our aim is to make the service as easy to use and affordable as we can. There are costs associated with obtaining the data and integrating that information into easy-to-read reports. Payment is required to sign-up for BeenVerified. 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. We continuously strive to update and expand our databases.
