MyLife
reviews and complaints

I have been getting emails that states that my private info has been exposed. I have never signed up to be a member of mylife.com. Very unhappy they have info on me. They also state that I have people looking for me and also that I need to complete my searches for certain people. I have never been to their site so how could I do searches if I didn't start one to begin with.

I want to have my photo and incorrect information removed from mylife.com site. I don't know how they have the right to use your photo's (a very old and private photo) without permission. When I ask them to remove it they say you have to sign up and give my information to become a member in order to "manage my account" How do they have the right to force you to sign up for something that you want nothing to do with and shouldn't have to be bothered with. They collect any information they can find without confirming the validity of it. It's no wonder that people have their identity stolen so easily. They are a total scam of a site. If you look them up on wikipedia you will see how bad the complaints are and how my times they have been sued for bad business practices.

MyLife website offered a discount from $16.95/mo to $7.95/mo or a full year of $94.95. I selected $7.95/mo and went to the site to place a search. I sent a message email to the person and went to the "My Account" page to see how they would respond back to me. (By email; or if I would have to come back to this site to keep checking). There was a charge for $94.95. I phoned customer service and explained that I was being charged $94.95 but had selected $7.95/monthly. I was told right away that she could see I had made a search and had looked up searches for people who were searching for me. These were totally bogus people who I did not know. I requested a refund for all but $7.95 which was feasible for the services since I had made a search and sent a message. She offered to refund all but 6 months of service and refund $71 and kept asking if I was ready to write down the confirmation number. I refused. I told her the website does not say they will charge you "up front" for the year @ $7.95 for a total of $94.95, it says per month discount. She offered to refund all but $7.95 and again asked if I was ready to write down the confirmation#. I refused again asking for a supervisor. The supervisor because I wanted to give the her the customer service number off the back of my credit card to expedite immediate return of the funds being held rather than wait 7 days max hold period on my account. The supervisor came on and said she would "refund" my account for all but $7.95 but could not expedite the transaction because they could not call the number to my bank as they were not an "outbound" call center. She would refund the money but I would have to call back with my credit union on the line. I accepted the confirmation # at this time and said I would call back with my Credit Union. I did. The Supervisor took longer than usual to get on the line. My Credit Union examined to her that they could only release a "Hold" off the account but if there was a "Refund" in process they could do nothing. The Supervisor stated that a "Refund" was already in process and she could not do anything and asked what did I want her to do at this time. I said I would like her to answer a question please. I asked that if I wanted a refund then if in the unlikely future this should happen again, what I should do was to get my Credit Union on the line first and THEN ask for a refund? I also asked why would a Supervisor tell me she would "Refund" my money if she knew that my Credit Union would not be able to release the funds back to me immediately unless there was a "hold" not a "refund" being processed, especially when we specifically discussed calling the Credit Union number on the back of my card, at MY request, to expedite the return of my money? She stated she doesn't know what the bank's policy is and stated again that the refund was already in prices and was there anything else I wanted her to do. Then asked what did I want at this point? She then offered to refund all the money, including the $7.95 with no further use of the site. I gladly accepted that offer! The confirmation number would be the same but she needed to know if my Credit Union, who was still on the line with me would have any further action or dispute! My credit Union stated they would release the funds immediately but advises there would be a barge and then a release of the funds in my account and I would be charged a fee if I didn't have the funds to cover the charge to begin with. I did. I ended the call momentarily satisfied until I see the funds. This happened about an hour ago so I shall see if MyLife.com honors their arrangement. I guess they didn't honk I would phone my Credit Union, and the Supervisor was definitely nervous about further action against them from my Credit Card dispute department. There are definitely some questionable practices ranging from advertising to fraudulent charges with MyLife. Do not use this service if you are not a "stalker of your money"!

I found information on myself on mylife.com by Googling and was quite surprised to find that mylife.com actually had my accurate (though partial) address, and an accurate home phone number, which is a landline, and which even my relatives, nor the apartment manager, have. My children don't even have my landline number -- it's used for the computer only. I've been at my address about 6 months.

Here are the sources where MyLife could have obtained this information:
1). Voter's Registration lists given to anyone who calls themselves a "non-profit", possibly illegal.

2.) "Continental Payment Solutions, Inc. dba Associated Foreign Exchange" operating in El Super Market where one can pay utility bills, again possibly illegal.

Cash Plus or Walmart, again, where one can purchase a money order of pay home utility bills. Possibly illegal.

I am checking more thoroughly. They have refused to delete the information. I plan to sue them in small claims court since I live nearby.

I have emailed this website 5 or more times asking to remove my account. Ive cleared my history, cookies, cache's etc and all of my information is still public, and available. Every time I try to log in to delete it again, it gives me an error and tells me to enter my password, then the forgot password screen appears, ill enter the email that is linked with the account and the website will not provide another password for me to delete the account. It just keeps sending me in circles and my information is not being deleted. The website is providing information regarding myself, my family members, and my location, which is causing severe harassment to me and my family. I have filed a complaint with the ftc but i havent not been successful in them removing my information. I dont know what else to do?

My career involves serving society by working with criminally dangerous adults.

I must be extremely aggressive about my privacy for the safety of myself and my family. In the past, coworkers have been stalked, and several years ago, one was shot and almost killed.
I am required by my employer to have an unlisted telephone number and cannot even bring my license into the building where I work. As you can imagine, I am very aggressive about online privacy.

I do not have a myspace, facebook, google+ or any other social networking account for this reason, and I give out little to no personal information.
Suddenly, my full name, which is an unusual one, and age appeared on Mylife.com. I am not a member, have never done a "free" search, have no association with the site.
I do not know where they acquired it, but the visible information
included the full names, ages, and sometimes addresses of almost my entire extended family! This is a HUGE security risk!

I called MyLife's service number to try to find out what could be done.
I waited fifteen minutes before it was answered.
I began by courteously asking her if I could record the call, and she became very angry and hung up on me!

Web searches are turning up plenty of people warning that the "info" you must give them to opt out becomes their permanent property. Their TOU and privacy statements are very slippery.

I think it might be time to get legal advice.
Be very careful with this company!

Beware of MyLife.com. Linked in should NOT be promoting this site! I did 2 "free" searches months ago, which gave no info without $. They notified me several times that people were searching for me, so, I signed up for what I thought was a $7.95 fee per month to see. It was a scam. No one was looking for me. When I called to complain & ask for my money back, they told me that someone may have been searching for my name, but that they could have deleted the search. I told them this was a scam and wanted a refund. Although I had signed up less than 5 minutes earlier, they tried to tell me that I had used their services - they were referring to my free searches several months ago. I called fraud, so they then told me they could only refund six months of fees. That was when I found out that they had billed me $95.40 for all twelve months, although their ad said $7.95 a month. When I told them that this was fraud, & refused to accept a charge for 6 months of service I didn't want, the lady told me she could do nothing else. So I demanded to speak with a supervisor. She must have thought I couldn't add, because she offered to refund all but 3 months, but said they would have to charge me the higher premium of $15.95 per month! So they were still keeping six months worth of premiums, but were now offering 3 months worth of service in exchange. I refused & insisted on a full refund. So the supervisor offered all but 1 month's premium back-at the $15.95 a month fee (so she was going to charge for 2 months but give only 1 month of service). When I refused and asked to speak to a higher level supervisor, she said there was no one available & offered the mailing address of the CEO. I allowed her to refund all but that supposed 1 month, actually 2 month fee, with the repeated stipulation that I was not agreeing to this as a settlement & that that the company was acting fraudulently. I am now going to pursue recourse through my credit card company.

I did two supposed free searches several months ago, which would give no useful information unless you signed up, and have been inundated by spam emails ever since. I tried to unsubscribe several times, but the spam always seemed to keep on coming. Then, they notified me several times that people were searching for me. Since I was looking for someone, I thought maybe the site had come through, and so signed up for what I thought was a $7.95 fee per month to find out if they had. But it was a scam. The minute they charged my credit card, they told me no one was looking for me, although they had stated someone was. When I called to complain and ask for my money back, they told me that someone may have been searching for my name, but that they could have deleted the search, which is why I didn't really have any searches for me when they said I did. I told them I thought this was a scam, had been misled into using their services, and wanted a refund. Although I had only signed up less than five minutes earlier, they first tried to tell me that I had used their services (turns out they were referring to my free searches several months ago, although when I pushed the point, they admited they were not done in conjunction with what had been paid for on my credit card). They then told me that although I had not used any of their services and had only signed up for the paid services five minutes earlier, they could only refund six months of fees. That was when I found out that they had billed me for all twelve months, although their ad said $7.95 a month. In total, they had billed me for $95.40. When I told them that this was fraud, and that I would not accept a charge for six months of service I didn't want, the lady told me she could do nothing else. So I demanded to speak with a supervisor. She must have thought I flunked basic math, because she said she would refund me all but three months, but they would have to charge me the higher three month premiums of $15.95 per month! So, in essence, they were still keeping six months worth of premiums, but this time were offering me three months worth of services for six months worth of fees. I refused and insisted that I had not used the services and wanted a full refund. So the supervisor then offered me all but one month's premium back, of course, at the $15.95 a month fee (so she was going to charge me for two months of fees in essence, but give me only one month of services). When I refused and asked to speak to a higher level supervisor, the lady said there was no higher level supervisor available and offered me the mailing address of the CEO of the company, saying I could take my complaints to him. I agreed to have her refund all but that supposed one month, actually two month fee, with the repeated stipulation that I was not agreeing to this as a settlement. I said several times for the record that the company was acting fraudulently. I am now going to pursue recourse through my credit card company.

Jeffery Tinsley the CEO of mylife.com is using people’s information unlawfully to make money. In my case, a young man came to my house prior to my name being on Jeffery Tinsley’s mylife. He told me he was from the census bureau. I gave him my information. He asked me who else lived in the house and for their information and names etc. I gave him the sequence of my birthdate incorrect. Shortly after, I found my name with that incorrect birth date exactly on the mylife.com website. In criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. Look at this guy on LinkedIn. What I smart ### smile you greedy $#*!. I know young entrepreneurs in California are really excited about making money from their stupid little website projects after facebook. But how can these sneaky stupid greedy little $#*!heads like Jeffery Tinsley steal people’s information on such a massive scale and sell it. I can’t believe this website is still running. Jeffery Tinsley YOU SUCK and should be in jail.

false info on john gimeli 53 years old still claiming his father who died yrs ago false address for the last 5 ys/claims his name is john c gimeli/neve lived in dix hills or bronx/ florida- false using false identity!

I joined this site maybe 2 years ago but i never signed up for full service or so i thought untill i just checked my bank acc. and saw a charge from MyLife for $175.00 i called them and said said bla bla bla and they would refund $110.00 I never was so angry in my life so watch out what you do on MyLife.Oh and if i had joined a site you would think they would send you a notice saying to confirm your renewal Just watch out for them they will rip you off.

I did a quick look online with my name to see if my name would pop up. I already have LifeLock. The first one that popped up. It said 4 people did a search on me. Then it said only $10 bucks for a month. Then my receipt said $59.99 and I committed to 6 months! There was no little button to opt out of junk mail or pick how long. It was confusing. So I click into the sight. The ad didn't say $10 after $59.99. The advertising was misleading and questionable. My page came up first and I didn't need to add to it because the personal informaiton they had was disturbing and violating my right to privacy. It's not necessary. So the program was useless to me. The 4 people were nobody in other states. It only took me about 4 minutes to realize I had been duped. When I called to tell them that wasn't really fair she offered for me to buy more service, put me on hold like she was going to work something out, came back on and said enjoy your 6 months pretty much. Since I was stuck with the sight I wanted to change the name and put a random picture up. I spent about an hour trying to change MY personal information settings but couldn't find them. It all started adding up that it was a social networking site. The ad was nothing like that from my search. The home page does though. I don't do social networking and that's what it ended up being. Another Facebook. I thought it was more like reverse phone number lookup stuff. Anyways, their program was freezing up my computer bad with adware so I gave up and called them again. I had to have them cancel my membership. No refund no program no nothing. $59.99 down the drain. A weeks groceries. It was supposed to be $10. I even still had to unsubscribe from the initial receipt I got from them to not get junk mail. I can email you my receipt if you want.
Thanks for listening,
Jay Chandler

This website has put my current location where I reside. It gives details of my past residences, my age, etc. I have an ex-boyfriend that is a very dangerous person and I do my best to keep my privacy for obvious reasons. They have NO right to do this. Who and what is MyLife anyway? I have no affiliations with them! I want this put to a stop immediately! I will be happy to join a class action lawsuit!

This site is a SCAM! Stay as far away as you can! They will send you lies in to your email CLAIMING people are searching for you. They should be sued for false advertisement! Not only that but be VERY careful about buying "premium services" on their site. You think your paying $11.00 and it ends up being over $100! Also to delete accounts you have to call them you can't do it online. How ridiculous. Don't join this site. They will only disappoint you.

MyLife.com has erroneous information posted on a public forum which invites identity theft and slander. I understand that much information of public record can e obtained by anyone and posted through social media for the whole world to see. Nevertheless, the constitution of the United States declares that all citizens have a reasonable right to privacy. When a Social Media site uploads a profile of an individual without consent, without verification of the data and said information or profile can have serious repercussions to one's work life, enterprises and religious convictions, The people behind this internet sight must be held legally as well as ethically accountable. The world is full of people who turn to social media sites to examine the private behaviors of others. Employers now include examination of personal social media in the evaluation and judgement of potential work candidates. There is a perverse invasion of privacy that has become acceptable when potential employers, potential suiters, investment professionals and financiers rely on the information they come across through these sites. Little regard is given to the inaccuracies as, even when misleading, erroneous or slanderous information is found and corrected, the damage has already been done. What makes this scenario even more perverse is when a site such as "My Life.com, publishes an entire profile without one's consent or knowledge. Most of us are not public figures nor are most people experts in controlling social media sites publications, as there are now too numerous to mention. It appears that today we must all engage in a new task: the management of unsolicited, information and advertising of one's private life. A site like mylife, regards me as just a number-but I am a private citizen with rights and should not have to hire an attorney, a social secretary and a manager to monitor false, potentially damaging information. Mylife was so bold, and potentially dangerous, it goes on to publish relatives- past relationships and list them as if they are current. They publish your address for any stalker or killer to seek you out. They would not publish the fact that as a victim of domestic violence and stalking, they have increased the chance of my becoming a fatality exponentially by publishing the names and ages of possible relatives, children, locations etc. They should and must be held accountable for the damage they have done to me and potentially thousands of other women's profile. The cowards that they are, they do not post contact information where such things can be addressed. Perhaps they do not publish details of their own lives because they are nothing but cowardly dogs who go about raising hell in the lives of innocent people. Perhaps they believe they will continue to be mistaken for upright human rather than the knuckle dragging, ### they are. Their ethics are lower than those of thieving raccoons in the night, rummaging through the trash of unsuspecting victims, soiling themselves with [censored]e and piss before they use it as adhesive to anonymously paint a public picture of unsuspecting citizens, They are no better than the self policing sites such as YouTube that make public declarations, committing not to allow the posting of pornography, gratuitous violence, or hate related posting. Yet everyday, one can go through You Tube and see videos of young people pulling the trigger while their lips embrace the barrel of a pistol. You would not have to look far to find uploads of racists enciting violence against women, African-Americans, Latinos or Muslims. One out of every 4 hate crimes are now committed against Latinos or Hispanic Americans. Now My Life has picked up the baton, publishing profiles without the consent of individual, invading their privacy and that of potential family members or friends, and by so doing, has -in essence- sent out a calling card inviting identity theft, rape, murder, stalking or worse. Again, as citizens of this republic and as human beings, we are entitled to a reasonable standard of privacy. When one has been victimized by domestic violence, stalking and fraud, the last thing needed is for an unsolicited profile to be posted by anonymous cowards. Our laws are behind the times, not up-to-date with the moral and ethical issues presented by the perverse opportunists who create and manage the disgraceful social media sight, MyLife.com. The executives and creators of these sights may hide under their soiled sheets with total disregard of the pain of others. MyLife.com may ruin the lives, of women like myself, condemning me and thousands more to live in fear. By totally disregarding our right to privacy, they have effectively sentenced us to live striped naked in front of a store window with every sick ### taking notes. I pray that the tables will be turned on them. I wonder how much their family members, beloved friends and children will fear when they are striped naked, and violated with every detail of a torturous encounter made known to all.-when the noose tightens about their necks, will there be a post naming the Judge who will condemn them to hell alongside their profile? When their greatest fears becomes their reality, who will not look them up to find their tragedies on display for consumption by a common rabble. A nice class-action suit may not be enough justice; In my opinion, this does not cry out for justice but for vengeance.

I am not now and have never been a member/subscriber of MyLife.com; however, this company advertises that I am a member/subscriber and has invented relationships/family members with whom I have no familial relationships. There is no way to remove my information from their malicious spamming other than to actually JOIN their organization and then trust then to sort it out. I consider this extortion and I want my name removed from any of their spam sites.
