So they take 5 - 10 minutes to "Compile" all the information on the person you are searching, all the while showing progress bars to make you think that they are gathering a lot of info. This also has the benefit to them of making the user feel invested so that when it finally says the job is done, you will feel that you have invested too much time and that they have compiled too much information to just walk away, so you are more likely to pay for the file they offer. Unfortunately, that is not how computers work these days. This should only take about 30 seconds for the largest file to be ready, don't be fooled by tactics meant to get you to open your wallet. I'm not going to complain that much about not telling the user up front that there are fees for the information, as this seems to be par for the course for most of these sites. I do however, find it suspicious and a deal breaker that they don't even let you know what kind of information has been found. Who wants to pay $20-40 only to find out that everything included is the old, incorrect information that comes up on every google search.
