PeopleFindersReviews 199

So you want to find out who owns that phone number? You WON'T find it with this company, and it will cost you for it to tell you that (even when it says it won't)! This scam site will force you to 1st pay $24.95 to do the initial search... then, whatever bogus info it comes up with won't give you the name of the person (only a city) - to get the name of the owner of the number, you have to pay another $4.95. It says that if they can't find the name, you won't be charged... sure enough, no name was found and told me that I wasn't going to be charged, but oh yes I was - right there on my credit card bill (which I then noticed that they'd been charging me $24.95 for the past 4 months on an automatic payment plan). I've been ripped off over $110 by this site. I HATE THIS COMPANY!

After the Peoplefinders website indicated it had more information on an old high school friend I had been searching for for 25 years I paid the fee and got NOTHING, He was on his way to visit me from Chicago and then dropped off the face of the earth. Peoplefinders is a lying SCAM WEBSITE. I have checked the Better Business Bureau and read literally hundreds of reports from pissed off customers reporting very poor business practices and massive deception. Stay away from them.

BUYER BEWARE! I went to their site to locate an old friend from high school. I located the person and paid the $1.95 one time fee for the information. The person I was looking for was in Ohio. The information I received was from people in California, not Ohio. So I just went to another site and obtained the correct information I needed. I then called PeopleFinders.com at *******997 and talked to some woman. I explained what happened and she said it was a computer glitch. I asked for a refund of which she said they don't give refunds but would be happy to do another search for me. I told her I already got the info I needed and I wanted a refund. She again said they don't give refunds even though the computer glitch was their fault. So even though they admitted it was their fault, they still refused to issue a refund. Lesson learned. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH PEOPLEFINDERS.COM

Very misleading site. I entered a phone number and the site initially responded that it had the name of the phone number. I entered my credit card info - and the message appeared that I had to pay $. 99 to have the report emailed to me. I went through all this and downloaded the report.

Nothing. I called their customer support number and a very cheeky fellow just said, "You were not billed, maam." Over and over.

Stay away and don't enter your credit card info into this site.

Deceptive marketing and poor customer service.

First of all the site has very limited information. They cannot get information in many states. Also they have a scam going where it is hidden in the small print where not only are you paying $34.95 for nothing because they really don't give you much information they will bill your credit card for $24.95 for a membership if you don't cancel within 3 days. American Express was aware of the scam but said there wasn't anything they could do about the $24.95 and they have people complain all the time. I called the company and they said too bad so sad you need to read the small print. When you call there 800 number the first thing it tells you is if you want to cancel send an email. Just trying to warn everyone this site is a ripoff.

I've been using this service for over 5 years, and it's helped me a great deal. My two biggest complaints, are that it isn't very compatible with Google Chrome (and I hate Internet Explorer) and because there is so much information of people and addresses, but not in chronological order, you sometimes wade thru a lot of old information to get to the new. I even find cellphone information which is a plus these days. In my opinion, for what I use it for, it is usually worth the $24.95 I pay.
