This is a relatively new people search site. I found it through a pop-up ad. Since I abhor such sites that post one's personal info without prior knowledge or consent, I gave it a look. They have me both related to and confused with somebody who has a similar name, but whom I have never met and who lives in a state where I have never lived or had relatives. I went to the opt-out page and followed the procedure. At the end, they stated that I must fax, scan or send by snail mail a photocopy of my valid ID. This appears highly suspect, since driver licenses, passports and state ID cards all have unique numbers and other information that could be used for identity theft. As a warning to all here, I advise you not to send these people a copy of your ID. Instead, complain to BBB and FTC.

I signed up for a month subscription because there was no trial. I was led to believe I'd get all of the information, but what they give you is very basic. It's all info that I can find online for free. If you want all of the information you have to upgrade to the premium membership for another $69.99. They don't tell you that a regular month-by-month membership is limited. Plus, I did a search on myself. Much of the info was wrong. For instance, they said I've never been married and I've been married twice. They didn't even get my legal name right! But I know it was me because enough information was correct.

Stay away from this company, I wish I had read the reviews before I threw away my money.

Yes I agree with you. I feel this site is part of the dark web. A day before I get an alert that my SSN # is on the dark web. The next day this site has all my personal data. People need to be careful. I have not slept from the stress. God will judge these people as they are pure evil and want us good people to suffer. God will wait for them. I trust God as they do not know what eternal hell is but this is how they are making us suffer. Be careful do not provide your ID.

I never signed up to this scam site, never gave email or password or started account. Not sure how they got my credit card information and charged me. Their website says my emails dont have accounts with them so I cannot cancel the account and stop the subscription. This is illegal.

Yes you should sue them. I’m with you. I think this site has something to do with the dark web. They are suspicious. The police should be notified for sure

I searched myself just to see what happens. My age, relatives and the places I lived were all correct but it also had that I had felonies, DUI's, bankruptcies and other nonsense which I've never had.

I am 76. The same happened to me. First line of info (without paying anything), just thrown out there" highlighted in red, is there were multiple records of felonies. This can be seen by anyone.

Totally false ... never had anything worse than 2 speeding tickets 40 years apart. Worst thing in courts are two divorces.

This is a scam to place fear into people and extort money or provide a worthless report.

I believe this is slanderHOW DO WE DO A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THESE WORTHLESS

CLOWNS?

I also want to file legal action against them. They promise you all of the information for a month subscription, but when you do a search what they give you is so basic. It's information that you can find for free online. If you want all of the information you have to upgrade to premium for another $69.99. Plus, I did a search on myself and much of the information wasn't even accurate. They are a scam. I wish I read reviews before I threw away my money!

In the am on 10/19/22 in LA County, I discovered my personal info on this website. I am a past victim of stalking & of someone who filed a false tax return in my with the IRS. This company also falsely stated I had past criminal activity! Also, similar companies only request your story and email to opt out, not your personal info. to unsubscribe!

PeopleWhiz.com and Peoplewhiz.com took money out of our credit union last month and this and we have never dealt with them. This was illegal, fraudulent activity. They are criminals! I don't know where they obtained my wife's credit card information, but we put a stop to it! I have reported them.

Yes I want to take legal action too. My SSN # was in the dark web a day before they posted all my info. I’m sure this site has a connection with the dark web for sure. I sense things

RE: Court will come to order!
Keener VS. PeopleWhiz

When I'm before the Judge, I will ask him your honor can you please use the Courts Laptop for a brief moment. Then I will ask the Judge to do a search on himself. What do you think he will find? Slam Dunk, Case closed, Take my money, and do a whiz as I leave.

RE: You won't take a whiz on me, or my name!

January25, 2020
Just think what a search of honest Abe Lincoln from Hodgenville, Kentucky would bring up. They most
likely would have him involved in Pedophilia.It's possible he might even be listed as I have found, and shown searches of people 130 plus in age. I urge all of you that have been defamed to contact your District Attorney in your area. It's rather hard for me since I live in Ukraine. But regardless if you defame my name there will be a price to pay. It may not be today but I promise to make this issue come to light, and be addressed. Sincerely, Mark Keener.

I didn't no people lived 130 since Biblical times, but if you do some searches you will find it true.
They have defamed my name at 64 years old with only a Traffic, and Speeding ticket to my name.
Writing to them is a waste of time, you will only be given their line of B/S. The only way to wrinkle their cheap suits, is with suits of your own. Remember there doing this to millions of people not just you. FCC is ah sleep at the wheel, to let this con game that's only about money continue. Take some time see if I'm right, maybe you will find yourself like me to be Public Enemy number 1! Sincerely,
Mark S Keener.

This site claimed We have uncovered multiple criminal records matching the name Mark S Keener.
I 'm 64 never been to prision, Jail, one speeding ticket, one parking ticket entire lifetime. But you have only my word for it. Did the check on my closet friend in the world found the same findings for him. Don't spend your money on this Garbage site, and if you do a check on your name and it comes up same as mine, and you no your no criminal seek your legal team. Sincerely, Public Enemy number 1, wanted in 50 states by the FBI, Mark S. Keener.

I wonder if we could file a defimation claim against this website it caused a huge argument with my GF because it sent her an email that said it found multiple criminal records on me and that is a lie I've only ever had a traffic ticket and she started telling at me that I'm a liar because I told her I don't have a criminal record. And now I feel like I'm suffering from emotional distress thanks to this fraudulent website

I wonder if we could Sue them for defimation of character as it's caused me emotional distress as it caused an argument with my GF who I was honest with and told her I don't have a Criminal Record and now she won't believe me and she didn't pay for the service but they certainly sent her an email that says I do.

Same problem criminal ...charges a shown.as"debt".
This is an information site and a poor one at that.
I was originally search for homes to rent to own.
Just a pop-up window i closed Slow and public info you can get for free. Advertised as a $1 one time minimal check.
It was so slow i closed window and left there site.
I was promised refund by a woman named Mary. Charged as a debit not credit >Impossible -!
As long as they refund asap as promised things will be fine.
I believe this is a poor version of this type of service.There are hundreds of sites like this.
Ive read some other reviews about this problem from this service.
They claimed the same as well, as criminal behaviour.
As long as they remove there fake membership.
Refund unauthorized charges i will understand and i will remove my posts/responses...
Any help in regards to resolving this issue would be helpfull.
If not were just getting started.
My brother is a local attorney.He will address the issue pro-bono for his little brother.
I will post end result at a later time.🤔
