      On October 23rd 2022 I signed up for a trial offer of peoplefinders.com. after looking at the site for several hours I took the steps to cancel the account. I received a cancellation confirmation email on October 23rd 2022 saying that no further payments would be billed. I tried to email customer service at ********************** but the email was rejected due to the mailbox being full. I tried the customer service phone number but the recorded message said that the wait time would be long and direct me to contact customer service via email. I will attach invoices from November 22nd and December 22nd showing that they billed me $24.95 twice since confirming the cancellation of my account. Included in the email I will attach in PDF form you can see the response which I tried to send them but was rejected by the email server. I would like them to refund the two months of payments immediately. Their website has a very deceitful and obtrusive method for canceling one's account where they continually send you request to reconsider canceling, and the wording of it can be confusing if not read carefully.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
