Intelius Unknown Charges made from my credit card for no reason

My credit card was charged $15.35 5× in a row in the same day. But website which is ( Intelious.com) As I was putting my information in it said something about the payment could not be established or the payment information is incorrect. I was reverted back to the payment page over and over with the same results, when I was only trying look up info about myself. I'm very dissappointed that I couldn't get the information that I wanted off you guy's website and I would like my full refund back 5× $ 15.35 which means that is $76.75 cents back please.

Desired outcome: Full Refund Back

Intelius Unauthorized credit card charges

I did not authorize my credit card to be used without my approval. Therefore, I am requesting a refund as a desirable resolution to my complaint. I expect this refund to be removed from my credit card. This amount should be removed by the first working day of this SCAM you people have enacted without my permission.

My credit card was utilized without my authorization and therefore, I am requesting a refund and/or remove this amount.

Intelius Fraudulent charges

You stupid a$@ hackers got me. Luckily enough my bank sent me a text that PCH INTELIUS charged my card so I did more research and come to find out this is the third charge for $29.95 that you fraudulently stole from my bank account! Seriously so pissed off right now. Never once used this website, never heard of it, never requested a background check for anything. So huge huge FUK YOU, the bank is filing a fraudulent charge so to those that are asking them to refund you, dont waste your time. Call your bank and they'll refund you. But you better believe I'm reporting you, PCH!

Desired outcome: I WANT MY REFUND

Intelius Intelius

I paid a one-time fee of $0.95 for a one-time look up of a phone number and opted OUT of any further subscriptions for services. And yet, this past Saturday I found a charge for $29.95 that I did not authorize for a service I did NOT sign up for. This is theft. It needs to be refunded IMMEDIATELY.

Desired outcome: Refund $29.99

Intelius Unauthorized transactions

You have taken money off of my debit card and I did not use my card on your website ever. I want this money returned to me. I have never even heard of you or your website until I received a notification to my phone that money had been taken. You really need to verify that you have the correct card information and name of the person you are trying to get payment from. Like I said I have never would never use your website.

Desired outcome: Full refund of stolen funds

Intelius Address/People search site

While reviewing my bank account statement I learned that I had been charged $29.95 for 1 month after I purchased an address look-up from Intelius. The look-up only cost $0.95 but they subscribed me to some service without my knowledge or permission and charged my debit card without any notification for a stupid "Identity Protect" service that I didn't want/need. I have cancelled my membership and was of no success on trying to request a refund for what the site charged me. I am trying to find help or advice on how I can receive a full refund for the $29.95 plus tax and to cut ties completely without any harassment or any other tr9ubles i might possibly receive from the company. Please advise with any help or suggestions that might assist me in achieving my desired outcome.

My email address I signed up under is:
[protected]@gmail.com

and my name is:
Jeremy Smith

Thank you for your time,
Jeremy Smith

Desired outcome: Full refund for the $29.95 plus tax

Intelius Bogus membership that they added to my account.

This is curtis Mclean and I am extremely angered to find out you charged my acct 2 times for 29.95 I am at the lowest point with no friggin income due to this covid [censored] and then to find out my acct is getting hit with charges when I was told I was doing a lousy 95 cents for a phone look up. I havent used the acct once and I am filing a complaint with better business beurea. Hit peoples acct with ridiculous charges. I cant eat this week because you have tried up my funds. I am a extremely disabled Male with a progressive debilitating illness and I dont need this crap in my life at this point. I want this taken care of, I dont use the phone as I cant hear well enough and am lucky to have my friends daughter to help me with this on the laptop she owns. I am done trying to cancel this stuff. I want this taken off my acct and refunded. This is bogus. Curtis McLean [protected]@gmail.com.

Intelius people search rip off

I paid for a one tinme fee of $29.95 on Sept. 29, 2019 to do a person search. They have since started billing me monthly. They are making it difficult for me to sign in and cancel the charges.
looks like they make the money by ripping people off.
Also the background check was pathetic. They only showed basic information that you can get for fee on the net.

Intelius product/ scam

$29 was taken out of my account and I don't know what for. I am requesting a refund and a cancellation! I used this site one time only and they changed me and I got one piece of information, so why was I charged $29. I'm 65 years old on a fixed income. I can't afford this. Please look into this and refund my money. Thanks for letting me leave this message. Hope to hear from someone. [protected]@yahoo.com

Intelius pch*intelius

I never once put down my credit card or personal address information while accessing the site I didn't make any authorization or purchases for any subscription.. and yet I'm getting charged for a $39.95 monthly subscription.

How are they even doing this? This should be absolutely illegal.

I called my bank and told them this was never authorized by me and now I had to cancel my card and have a new one replaced.

Intelius subscription

I had signed up for the 7 day free trial to try it out but wasn't what I expected at all, didn't get any of the information the page had told me I'd be able to obtain, waste of time that's the reason why I cancelled it and still got charged for the month after cancelled on the 7 day free trial. Can I get my refund for the month I was charged? Greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Intelius fraudulent membership created in my name & fraudulent charges on my bank account

An account was opened without my creating it & when I saw the first charge a month ago, I emailed and called Intelius advising this was not an account I created & I wanted it cancelled AND REQUESTED A REFUND OF THE FRAUDULENT CHARGES.
The rep assured me it was cancelled & I did receive a refund a few days later. Imagine my anger tonight while checking my card statement online, and I see I was charged an ADDITIONAL $29.95 to my MasterCard ending in 5317 for a fraudulent account using my name (Kelly Collins) that I was assured had been cancelled.
The account was set up under
kellyannharris14@gmail.com
BUT, my personal email address is
[protected]@gmail.com
Just a 1 number difference!
I'M LIVID!

Intelius website for locating information

SCAM - They discreetly sign you up for a monthly fee and then it is impossible to have the monthly fee stopped. They send you an e-mail with directions bu the directions don't work. The directions on the website don't work either. There is no phone number on the website to contact anyone. The help e-mail only send cookie cutter responses and don't address the issues. I received the report I needed but now I have to terminate my old credit card.
