Dear William:
I received your complaint to the ComplaintsBoard.com page for Spokeo, on November 26, 2023 regarding our service and charges made to your account, and I am happy to assist in resolving this matter.
When making a purchase, we do our best to let you know about the kind of information we may have available. In addition, we gather our data from 12 billion public records, ranging from census data to public social media profiles. New information is added to our system every day. Spokeo does not originate or create data, so our data reflects that of the original sources. Spokeo does not guarantee data accuracy, and the data should only be used as a reference. We are, however, constantly working to expand and improve the data available on our site. New information is added to our system every day and I suggest you check back for new updates.
Please keep in mind that we currently only support names, phone numbers, and addresses in the United States. However, our email and username search is universal and covers all publicly accessible profiles on social networks supported by our system, including international social media profiles. Furthermore, additional search types and features, such as Court Records, Historical Records, PDF downloads, and increased search quotas are available for additional charges in addition to your base service. I apologize if this was unclear.
Spokeo subscriptions can be cancelled at any point during the subscription term. For instructions on how to cancel, please view the following article in our Help Center: https://help.spokeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010516568-How-do-I-cancel-my-Spokeo-subscription-
Please note that cancelling your service only disables your subscription from renewing and does not offer a refund. Since all Spokeo services are prepaid, your service will last the duration of the period purchased.
Since all Spokeo subscriptions automatically renew to prevent service interruption, trials that were left unchanged, were charged on the service's renewal date. I apologize if this was unclear.
Unfortunately I was unable to locate a Spokeo account with the information provided in your complaint to assist you with your concern. To help you further with this complaint, please provide the following information in an email message to customercare@spokeo.com with the subject title of “ComplaintsBoard.com Review Site Complaint”:
- your full name, or the name(s) of any secondary authorized user(s) on the credit or debit card(s) charged
- last 4 digits of the credit or debit card(s) billed, or any expired or secondary card(s)
- card type(s) (Visa, MasterCard, etc.)
- any other email address(es) (other than the one used to contact us)
- if PayPal, the email address associated with the PayPal account
- exact amount(s) charged and transaction date(s)
Once the account is located and verified, I'd be happy to assist you with your concerns.
I apologize for any inconvenience, or hardship this matter may have caused. You are more than welcome to contact our Customer Care team through our contact page, http://www.spokeo.com/contact where we are available by phone, email, and chat 7 days a week from 5AM to 8PM PST. Please feel free to contact us directly should you have any future questions or concerns regarding this matter.
