Intelius

I found a computer with a person's name but nothing else. It was an unusual name so I spent my .95 to find a number. When I noticed a 29.95 charge, 2 weeks later, I realized I'd been had. They cancelled the membership, that I didn't know I had, after calling. Just be warned that you should stay away from these people or be more aware that America has turned into one giant scam. Yes, I paid 30.90 for a simple phone number trying to help someone out.

I wish I had looked at reviews first! They offer you a search for 95 cents but then you find out you have signed up for a paid subscription. You must cancel within 7 days but you are still billed an additional 7.95. The worst part is that the info I got was wrong!!

The person I'm searching for rented a house from me for 3 years. That address did not show up in the list of addresses for this person. The current address Intelius showed was a previous address the renter put on her rental application. Additionally, the membership was listed as .95 cents, but when I cancelled, the site informed me that it is charging me 7.95 for my short membership.

My Dad lived at same address for 60 years; a painter with grade school ed. They listed his correct address PLUS 4 more in other states, with a bachelor's degree, & a career as a Vice Pres of a company!

This place is a RIP Off. They charge your card before your trial period is over. They make it very difficult to understand the fine line reading. Money Hungry with unfulfilled promises. Run, don't use!

I ordered a people search and paid $1.01 for it. Next thing I know they charge my credit card $31.93 for a subscription I did not order or request. Intelius is a sleazy and deceptive operation. Do not do any business with this outfit.

In my opinion, these guys engage in deceptive practice. They show a large $0.95 to do a phone number look up on the front page so you think you are only paying that much for that one time service, but here's where I believe they are pretty sneaky... when you look at the fine print, they are actually stuffing in there an automatic Premier Plus subscription for $7.95 that is tied to that $0.95 cent look up. If you purchase the $0.95 service, you will pay that additional $7.95 - that charge however doesn't show up in your invoice - only the $.95 cents will show up. The fine print on the invoice indicate that your are already on the hook for that $7.95. And get this, even if you cancel within 7 days, you are still on the hook and IF YOU DON"T CANCEL, WITHIN 7 DAYS, it appears that you will pay $29.95 a month.

The website offered me 2 different offers. The first one was a membership that I could cancel, then a $1.95 special popped up for a 1 time full report. It was for $1.95 as long as I cancelled before the 7 days because the other membership was just basic. Today I have a charge for $7.95. They know what they're doing by getting you to accept because that $7.95 charge no matter what is not communicated. The least they could have done was get the information on the report correct. Don't fall for the trap!!

Please save yourself A HUGE HEADACHE and NEVER EVER use this website to check anything. Not only are they profiting off of your information, they will also scam you out of even more money if you try to purchase anything from them. Any of the options they have on their website will charge you for a monthly subscription with no ability to opt-out. Again, they will give you a subscription regardless of anything you buy, there are no option to opt-out. The only way to opt-out is to not buy anything from them in the first place. If you did buy their services and wanted to cancel the subscription they will charge you a 7.95 fee. You have been warned. Please do not buy anything from them.

Ordered (20 Sep 2019) what I thought was a one time background check. The background report was laughably incorrect and virtually useless. The only way it could have been more amateurish is if they did it in crayons. The $39.95 charge bought a "7 day" trial membership, which automatically became a monthly charge of $29.95. Oh, and there is a $7.95 charge to cancel the service. When I asked to talk to a manager I got hung up on. Do NOT use this service. If you are looking for a police report go to the Police Station or County Court (often free). These clowns at Intelius have apparently moved on from their first gig as Nigerian Princes; this scam apparently pays better.
