PeopleFinders Scam Reports

Posted by Admin
Emailed to customer service after trying in vain to get a refund: As per your post on the Complaints Board (www.complaintsboard.com), you make it sound like you care about your customers. " If you believe that you have been deceived or "scammed" by our organization, we definitely want to hear about it and reconcile the situation."

What you don't say is there is absolutely no way you are going to give any kind of refund under any circumstances. Your cleverly hidden opt out within 3 days or get billed a fee each month is deceptive and I'm sure has caught many unsuspecting customers. I am also sure you have "heard about it" from thousands of people. I also understand now, that you have not refunded a single penny either.

The ill will you have generated by not refunding my money will cost you, in the long run, much much more than what you took from me many times over.

The definition of reconcile as you use it is: make someone accept a disagreeable or unwelcome thing. What your customers are excepting (and not getting) is another definition: settle a disagreement, restore friendly relations.

Stay tuned, look for PeopleFindersScam.com - coming soon!

Email sent to peoplefinders: I have used your website several times in the past but the last time I used the website not only was all the info totally outdated, but I wound up having charges on both of my listed credit cards/bank cards from its affiliates that i did not authorize. I wrote to complain after the 1st time but got no response.. now i just had to call and cancel another one and the rep stated it was authorized from your website too. I find this very disconcerting and misleading. I will no longer be using your services and will be forwarding my complaint to the proper channels.

peoplefinders is a SCAM! They charged me $4.95 to do an "instant search" on a phone number (reverse lookup), and their site says your report will be available IMMEDIATELY, which it was NOT. It took TWO days and they came back with ONE NAME: "NATHAN" That's it!? What the hell does that tell me??? Before I paid, I knew the area the call came from, and that it was a cellular number...and that is ALL the information they gave me. Yet before I PAID them, their site said that the name, address, etc was ALL AVAILABLE...supposedly all I had to do was pay and I'd know instantly. WHAT A TOTAL SCAM!!! I have an order number...this is not fake. And so help me god if I get charged for anything else...heads are gonna roll.

PeopleFinders completely ripped me off. Their affiliates obsessively called me. When I finally answered they said they were calling on behalf of PeopleFinders and just needed to verify card information. I questioned the caller but she would not answer any of my questions as was rude about it. I ended up having huge charges on my credit cards for things like magazines and a savers cluby that I did not authorize and I told her I didn't want!

I used Peoplefinders.com. I gave peoplefinders the first middle and last name of the subject of the search. People finders told me they had specific data on the individual I requested. The only information peoplefinders had was the first and last name of the indiviual. Anyone who uses peoplefinders.com. I requested my money back, but they refused. I was scammed by peoplefinders.com. Anyone who uses this company who has read this is a fool with their money.

This is a sweet scam, much bigger than you guys are saying. I used them to find someone and then found that they gave my credit card number to Privacy Matters 123, who began charging my card $19.95/month. If you have used these folks in the past you need to check your credit card statements to see what fun they have wrought.
