I had limited info but with more and more questions asked and answered, my person was found! Other sites did not persevere.
I was really impressed on the size the the database but I do wish that they would give more job records and photos. Other than that it works well for everything else.

It's easy to find out whether or not you have a legit person at the other end of the number when I have the ability to search every number that isn't in my contact list. I've been able to get information pertaining to any number that texts or calls and therefore I know whether or not it's a real person at the other end of a line and that is what I need to combat all the fakes and spam.

I use Spokeo almost daily. Spokeo is the fastest easiest site to get the identity from the phone numbers and addresses or location of the multitude of numbers that appear on my boyfriends phone. He is a chronic cheater. I stay on top of his antics with spokeo. I use spokeo for other reasons also but mainly to stay in the know.

7 day free trial will automatically be charged 29.95. Didn't even give me an email for the person I searched. It did however give me his 73yr old mother's information. They haven't lived in the same town for at least 15 yrs. Google will give you more accurate information for free

Their website offered free searches, and when I finished answering a long list of questions, Spokeo then would only provide the information requested with a fee. They are scam artists!

Tried to use this service to try to find information on an old friend. Information I received seemed suspect so I tried it using people I did have info on. What I got back was absolute garbage. For example, it showed my current address at a location where I had not lived for 14 years. It provides email addresses that are dead links. This service is a total scam. Do not use it.
