Your customer Service staff is great and do their job very well!
My bank declined the charge as suspected fraud. I told them to put it through. Hope that isn't the case!'
I saw a few ads online for PeopleWhiz services. Decided to try it on one person, me. All the things they touted in their ads were nowhere to be found on the report. They also advertised a $1.00 cancellation fee( if cancelled quickly). I canceled my account with in minutes of seeing the short report verses seeing what they talk about. Cannot, in good faith recommend PeopleWhiz. $$ better spent at a casino, Or flush down the toilet….
Shame on PEOPLEWHIZ!
You guys say thorough report. What I received was one sheet of TOILET PAPER, verses what you guys advertised
So far so good they located the exact person was looking for myself correct age and not even another choice for me that's how shem we were and while they were collecting the data they even found a traffic citation for my mother who passed away 9 years ago and never had a traffic citation as long as I was alive and I'm 40 something. That's really cool. I had no idea.
Seriously, thank you guys!
The most accurate searches
Non existent customer service… trying to locate family member… the information they provided was less than what is already available…… requested more money, and then the information they gave was all about me not the person I requested…after I tried to stop transactions and further payments…They bomb me almost daily with "update supposedly updates". What a scam… I cannot in good conscience recommend them at all!
I noticed that it has many names under the name that is looked up, but I don't like that part because I was hoping to use this report for my own personal job needs and to provide proof to a old friend I've lost contact with due to her believing that I had charges of child molestation on my record from a social worker only showing her a report that was made not the actual court records of myself being charged for anything of that type.
I want answers to personal issues
OK so far! I'm In the middle of using it now. It Is going well, thank you.
Its connected to been verified and I automatically was connected when doing a search. :)
You have kept my credit info on file and overcharged twice and your contact email didn't work it was bounced back
First, I wanted to pay the 14.99 and was charged 27.99. Not happy at all about that. Secondly, I received an email from you stating that there were changes in a particular report and that name was inside the email. To my dismay upon opening the report, I couldn't view everything because I had to upgrade which cost more money. Your information is not up-to-date. I could not find any information that was different from when I did the report the first time all the information is at least eight years old. Finally, I would like my money back.
I chose people with because of an email that was sent to me stating there were changes on a particular person’s report. That turned out to be a big negative and your report is eight years out of date.
Easy to use. Shocking and amazing facts, about the person I searched for. Had no idea she was not who I thought.
Great recommendations, good feed back.
It was very easy to type in a nephews name and get immediate results. An excellent site
I ran across it accidently
The information is NOT free as is advertised. I paid the 1 month fee, but then every person I searched for came up with no marriage records even though I know 99% are married. The disclaimer says some married couples choose not to make their marital records public, but it would be hard to believe that 100% of all couples I searched, across different generations, would have made this election. I didn't receive any more information than I found for free on my own.
Free information
As a check, I requested a search on myself and my wife. My wife and I have been together for over 20 years. The only thing PW found was that we had the same address. PW did not find any marriage or divorce records for anyone. They did not find my handgun carry permit or any of my gun purchases. They did not find my stepson's criminal records. Basically they did not find anything in the last twenty years.
They did keep asking for more money for twice as much data. Twice nothing is still nothing!
Big mistake!
Everything has been smooth but still not getting all of the information concerning this family as there is a family member that is missing and not showing up in the list a of related relatives who is still alive! Nd then there is 1 that's showing they are still alive when they are actually deceased.! I dont trust this sites information and sorry I paid for this incomplete false information..
Because it provides so much information
Because it provides so much information
You misrepresented, I want refund. Getting me to pay only to discover that i would have to pay for a premium report to get anything besides what is easily available is in my opinion very unprofessional and deceptive. I will be contacting my credit card company and disputing the charge as not delivering services promised and or as advertised.
Misled by your deceptive advertising.
Ok I only signed up for 3 months they want to charge 89$ I can't afford that please cancel thank you
To find out some things
Not sure about this service as I haven't seen any information. They want their money ip front with no idea of what you are going to get. Then when you back out of the site they offer you 5 days for $1, but they don't say anything about not continuing to Bill your credit card after the 5 days or give yiu any contact information to contact them. I'm suspicious of this site.
Good so far. I haven't read about myself yet. However, it says I have a criminal record. I've never even been arrested.
It was a pop-up ad so I thought I'd try it.
Almost all the information on myself is completely wrong I'm kinda disappointed that I have to find a reliable site
Disappointed
Running a special online
The program is fast and inexpensive. That's great! Also, I liked the pop up ad on my browser, or else I would have forgotten.
I'm interested in what's in my file about myself.
Easy to do! After seeing report which I thought could possibly have more information than I already knew. Not happy with results!
Just saw it
Just saw it
So far on the 1st person I looked up, it basically told me things I knew mostly. But not if he was currently in AZ or back in Michigan.
To see if my ex was in Arizona still. And if he had prior domestic violence in his past.
Unfortunately, "people whiz" has missed significant facts about Edelbert F., Phillips.
Major items include: marriage record in Lancaster County, Nebraska. He does have a social security number, and you have totally not found an identical twin to Kimberly, who by the way is not 49 yrs old. She has been diseased since 2007. I would like my money back for the one month.
This was a complete waste of money. Several emails over the last few days expressed what new information was available. None of that was true.The report I got for 19 bucks was the exact report that I had gotten for 1 dollar a few weeks before. Total scam…but I guess I'll live and learn
Lured in by your false claims
Looking forward to receiving meaningful reports. I'm about to retrieve a report now. I wIsh the website advanced to easily access existing Accounts. Needs a program upgrade. I wasted time rehashing my data request, then the system finally acknowledged me. Otherwise, we'll see...
I looked up data on myself to see what might be out there. Most things were correct, but some information was lacking, like personal professional licenses and credentials. Other things were incorrect, like listing me as having lived in Florida at two addresses; I've never resides in that state. I'm not sure how to correct such info, Overall this site gives a general profile, but don't expect everything to be thorough or accurate.
Site seemed to be user friendly. I thought it would be free, but had to buy a one month membership to download the info.
All is well as long as I'm not charged more than one month's fee. Only needed this to search on one person's info. Thanks.
First one that popped up for me.
