PeopleFinders Scam Reports

Posted by People finder is fraud
Denny Mac has the story right. People finders is a huge money fraud scam that steals money from their customers...Just check your bank statements!!! They got me for $24.95 a month for 6 mos. They say they will refund the money. I give them that, but Fraud is fraud. Anyone who reads this and has had dealings with People Finders should immediately check their financial accounts, debit or credit cards etc!!! I was actually pleased with their service and would have used them again! Ironic.

Yes. Fraudulent. Surprise to me when $19.95 began showing up on my monthly statement. They auto-signed me up for $19.95 per month and I didn't even know it until I looked closely at my statement. Very underhanded. Very difficult to negotiate a credit for the full amounts. They have sent my request to their billing department to see "if they can credit me the full amount". I have already called my credit card company and disputed this charge myself. Now it's removed for sure! Dicks.

Auto-renewal membership scam with tons of 3rd party solicitation. Most of the money this company makes is through deceptive marketing practices of their memebrship. Several "free money" offers take up the entire page and make it impossible to find the "No thanks" button that's hidden on the page. DO NOT USE!!!

I very cautiously read all the information before I gave my credit card number, because I really don't like buying things off of the internet. Paid my two dollars for the ONE number I looked up. Couple of days later, $24.95 charge. I have e-mailed them to refund. I am really hoping they do the right thing.

I order their .95 one time search latter I found out they charge my credit card foir 24.95 stating that signed up for a 3 in 1 membership, which I did not do. They sent an email that went straight to my spam box confirming the suscription. I have spoken to them and demanded the return of my money. They are refusing. I think it is time for a class action suit. Anyone in the same boat please contact me a bushpilotx1@ y...hoo.com

Crappy company with very deceiving billing practices. I am usually very careful with any company that will slam you with offers before you make the purchase but somehow these swindlers got me too! Unfortunately I can't go back and see on their website where I made a mistake and they definitely do not plan on refunding me my 24.95. I will sue them if any of their third parties or they try and take any more of my money. DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS!

Yep! They got me too with this new snare. I went there trying to get the .95 one time search thing, they billed me the .95 twice because supposedly I requested to have the report e-mailed to me, which anyone would think it's included with the damn report that was worthless anyway, and a few days later they charge my card 24.95 for some trial that I did not agree to. They are refusing to return my money and I am definitely disputing this charge through my card but I agree with bushpilot, they need to get sued for this scam.

I serve the United States Marine corps and I am very disappointed with Pe0ple Finders.com because of my line of duty I am constantly on the go, and lose contact with alot of friends. To my dismay unfortunately not until today, I checked on my bank statements and found that even though I cancelled my account two months ago, People Finders.com are still taking money out of my account twice a month the second and the eighth for . I called my bank to have my checking account closed and now I am in the process of hopfully receiving my money back. In the process I had to go on google to get their contact information and click on this site and found out to let that I have been scammed. To prevent this from happening to my follow Marines I sent a email sharing my exeperience along with this website to alert others of the unfair business practice that this service is providing.

I do apologize for typing the prior message under such anger leaving out information and incomplete sentences. The amont of money People finders were charging me after cancellation was 48.20 on the 2nd of the month and 49.77 on the 9th of the same month. Unfortunately I found out too late that People finders.com was a scam and I am currently notifying my command to protect the innocence of others.

Hmm, I see a trend here. :) I to fell for their trick, had no idea that after I signed up for their service, that I would be charged and additional $4.95 per reverse phone number. I called the same day I signed up and asked for a refund, but was told that they don't give refunds. I explained to the lady that I had not used their service yet, and because they did not say there would be additional fees until after they had my money, that I want my money back. I was told that they would give me three free look ups, to which I replied that I was not interested in the free looks ups, that I wanted my money back. I explained to her that no where on their site does it say there would be additional fees, to which she responded "well, it doesn't say there wouldn't be any additional fees does it?" LOL, there's some logic for ya! Needless to say, I am pleased that they have a link on their site to the BBB, becaused I used it to file a complaint, probably not going to get my money back, but I want it on file
Day late and a dollar short (or $14.95), just checked the BBby and there has been 254 complaints against this company, actually 255, I'm sure mine hasn't registered yet.
