This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This company has no data to offer. After going as far as I could with a free site, I signed up for this and paid $29,95. I cannot even find records on people like my late father for whom I have all relevant dates. What a rip-off, I e-mailed them and tried to cancel my membership and got nothing but an e-mail back promising further useless help.-

This site is a total ripoff. I cant even find my own marriage record. My mothers death record. BULL...they charged me money for nothing. I cant believe I fell for this crap. This is the only truly BAD OUTRAGEOUS experience I have had on since being on the net (25 years). This people need to refund everybody's money back. Every time I try to log on with the right name and password, it says "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD" ? so they send me the same password I used before and it lets me on. BULLLLL.

Can't believe I fell for it, "no records found" is all it ever says.
Please don't waste your money!

RecordsArea.com cannot provide even the simplest of information which can be found on Google.com or Yahoo.com. I am contacting my credit card company to stop payment on grounds of fraud.

well i just found out after spending $39.94 on my visa it was a scam i find the 94 cents rather funny but hey they didn't add any tax sorry i have to laugh i too thought it was legit i've used other search sites in the past no problem this one caught my eye with all that they claim to offer how could i go wrong? so i pulled out my credit card and purchased the "vip membership plus" i soon learn when i couldn't find myself on the site somethings not right then you can't find the site online again pretty clever they say theres a sucker born every minute well i was born at 01/29/2008 3:43 am sorry you guys got burned as i did what goes around comes around.

I agree with the previous complaints. I have not been able to accsess any of the records. This is a big scam for honest people. Where is the government on this one? I'll try to find out.

I agree it is a ripoff. I could not find information on myself (birth certification) nor I find information on my grandparents (death certificates)

The bad thing about this site is they make it sound so good that you can quickly find the information you are looking for. What a joke!

I was scammed as well. I too wish I would have done a few minutes of due-diligence of researching this company before charging $29.95 to my credit card. Here is the recourse that I took for a refund:

a. I purchased their "service" on my American Express card as I do with all on-line orders. AMEX is the best for handling disputed charges. AMEX credits your card immediately, and will attempt to contact recordsarea.com to settle. (very nice).

b. Also, recordsarea.com uses "clickbank.com" as their merchant for handling credit card orders, I also sent them a threatening email demanding a full and immediate refund. They responded within one business day promising a refund. (email sent to: tma@clickbank.com)

I AGREE, THERE IS NO INFORMATION. IT ALSO STATES THAT IF NO RECORD IS FOUND, THERE WILL BE NO CREDITS USED. WELL, ALL OF MY CREDITS ARE GONE AND I RECEIVED NO INFORMATION AT ALL, ONLY A POP UP THAT WANTS YOU TO BUY MORE CREDITS. WHAT A RIPOFF.

I can confirm this website is a complete ripoff! Avoid at all costs. Total crap - use Intellus or PeopleSearch.
