      As I received a fraud alert from my back about an online charge of 28.95 I answered yes unauthorized charge. Come to find out it was this property record check website I used a couple days prior for research. Then with out my knowledge want to charge a monthly subscription fee. I hope enough of the people that were switch bait and hooked report this as fraud so the BBB WILL GIVE THEM the proper bad rating they deserve. Now I have to go through customer service to cancel a service I never signed up for and get refund

      This company is running a scam. You pay $1 when getting your home report online. Then after few days they charge your credit card for $28.95 without your knowledge. It is wrong.

      publichomecheck.com charged my credit card 9 times $23.95 when on 11/22/22 I only requested a single document search to be conducted on a property I needed information on in New Jersey. I'm a licensed Realtor and understood that when I signed up for Public Home Check that I was only paying for one search for $1. They subsequently debited my Credit Card 9 times for $23.95. When I noticed the multiple charges on my credit card I contacted the company on November 1st and they agreed to reimburse the additional charges. As you can see from my attached bank statement they only credited me 3 month of the 9 months of charges. I called again in early December and the woman I spoke to said that I needed to cancel the subscription. I told her I didn't order any subscription, I only ordered the one report that was advertised for $1. She told me there was nothing she could do about it since this was their policy. If you look at other reviews on this company many people are complaining of the same situation. They advertise one property report for $1 and then the company hits you month charges of $23.95. Also if you look at their website their monthly subscription is for $29.95 not $23.95. The company still owes me $143.70. It's an obvious bait and switch tactic they use luring you in to obtain a report for $1 and once they get your CC information, the bill you monthly for $24.95 a month. Even their published Terms are: "SALES TERMS * One Time $1.00 Report Receive a single report for $1.00. This is a one-time fee, for a single report. Our customer service phone is XXXXX. In addition to our refund policy we also offer a search credit for any unsuccessful search. * No mention that you have to cancel any subscription. This company is a scam.

      I called to cancel my subscription in November and was told I would be given a refund within 7 days. However not only was I not given the reund the lying customer service representative didn't cancel my subscription either. Now I have been billed again. Furious. Very poor ethics here for a company that is supposed to have true facts of a person's history for others to access. ??

      Public Data Check uses your personal information to gain access to your financial information that is on file with some of these internet search engines such as Microsoft. If you have had an encounter with this company you have to cancel your credit or debit card with your financial institution and they will report it as probably stolen. If the BBB gets enough complaints about Public Data Check they will get a poor rating as they should. Peace and blessings to all.

      If I could give 0 stars I would. Sick of scam artists like these tricking people under false pretenses into providing information that they can turn around and sell. Is there no way to report these criminals and scum like them and put an end to this fraudulent larceny? Guess not since Google condones even encourages crap like that along with false information as long as the low life entity sponsors with misleading advertisement. Think I'll toss the sinful fruit of knowledge right back to the devil.
