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 is one useless site and is certainly a ripoff. After paying the $29.95 and logging on, it only took one minute to see that no information was available. Only information that I have entered on free sites was found. Please don't waste your money!

I paid 20 bucks for a one year membership from this site. I was trying to do a background check on someone, and had their information, but there was no where on the site to put the criteria. I came up with no information. I asked for a refund and and now being ignored by the company. Big piece of crap.

Payed $39.94 to register in Records.Area.com by credit card. The 'sign-in' site appears, but it only connects to an error page, saying the site is not-available. Cannot even connect to Customer Service to cancel service or be reimbursed.

This site is a SCAM. You pay money for a lifetime membership & never get access of any kind. Once you put your bank/credit card info. in the site goes down. When you try to go back into the website, it states address can't be found.

My credit card better be credited the amount that I was scammed out of for this
phony service by the end of business on Monday or litigation will commence on
Tuesday. Being an attorney, I will enjoy prosecuting all parties involved.

Made an initial querie that came back as info available. To access the material required joining for approx $40. After doing so in good faith the supposed info was now non exixtant. This to me was a misleading pile of crap. A scam for a sucker which unfortuneately was me. Buyer beware!

Put in informaton of parents, born in the 1900s' and came back and said no information found.

This is after I paid the membership fee.

Needs to be a better business bureau for internet companies that promise products, but in the long run, does not have the resources to provide.

I paid 29.95 for information on court cases. It not only did not show any for the person/persons I was looking for (they are repeat felons), it also led me to other web sites that want more money. I asked for a full refund, and have yet to hear from them.

Don't waste your money or time! I sure hope everyone reads this first before even thinking about paying the money. Even a dollar would be too much for the lack of information.

I paid for a 1 year access to this website on [protected] and tried every day to get on to the site . I can not enter the page . there's always something wrong with the site so I can't get on it. I have contacted them to return my money and I haven't heard from them.

I paid $29.95 and can find nothing for free. If I want to look up someone, I need to pay another fee. This website is useless! I feel cheated, plus I am out almost $30.00. I see others feel the same way! We should be able to get a refund!

No support and not having information as stated they did, free sites give the same information. Wasted $39.94 and no way to contact for refund. I can not even get back on to the site to log in, throws me off as not available.

This program just don't work. All the jazz of helping you to track a dead beat is bull. It just sends you to a public site and you get nothing.. For a $39.99 fee gets you ripped off. The email site that you try to access is fake. STAY AWAY

After paying $29.95 no information was available. How can a site be allowed to do this? After realizing I had been ripped off, I started looking for complaints and found plenty of them.

Paid for 1 year unlimited membership $74.59. Once payment accepted, you cannot access date base via any link they provide - says, "Website not found."
THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT.

I paid my money in hopes of researching some individuals, they promised access to all types of records. I could not find myself, my son, my father in any of their searches. COMPLETE RIP-OFF, and they offer no easy access to cancell your account. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM!
