    I would give it ZERO if I could based on the fact info is a bit sketchy at times as it comes up different on the same person when searched again. BUT the BIGGEST issue I have is that it is another company that pulls that egregious BS about getting one month but somehow secretly hidden in there somewhere is a monthly plan of some sort. What a scam. If I want ONE month and pay for what I assumed was ONE month I do NOT need to find out I am getting billed again the next month. I can't even login anymore. What a SCAM to rip people off because then you have to figure out how to cancel and then fight to get the extra charge back. They make an extra charge on people that want one month and don't know about anymore charges. A car wash did that to me as well. Asked specifically if it was only for one month and that I didn't need to do anything else. I didn't have to cancel. Yep., just one month...BS. Did the same thing and charged me again the next month. wouldn't refund and I hadn't even gone foe over a week on the month I paid for. Hassle to fight to get it and never did. JOKE.

    Beware! This company's billing practices are misleading to the point of being fraudulent. I signed up for the one-month package, and the company continued to charge me. I noticed the charge when I was billed for the second time. I missed the previous month's charge. The customer service refused to reverse the charges even though I had canceled one day after the second charge hit my credit card.

    What a joke and waste of time and money. It takes a tremendous amount of time to search before you even sign up. It makes you think there is information by saying stuff like; you may be surprised and it warns you about finding sensitive information. It returned NOTHING on my search. It didnt even get something as basic as my email address correct. Then it tried to guess by adding different email companies such as @*****. @*** or at @gmail. It said my brother was a possible spouse. ?????? Sorry, thats not legal in ********!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. What a joke.

    This is just basically information you can get by Googling the name. Total waste of money. Also, when I looked up my own name just to corraborate the information I saw that they had my job titles wrong. I was a teacher that part is true, I was NEVER a real estate agent. And at age 65 they had my job title as a "Hooker" Hahaha! When I called to complain the woman (who barely spoke English) said she could not tell me how they came by that information other than "public record". I said "What public record is there for Hookers?". She couldn't answer this question but said only "public record" I am a 77 year old retired elementary school teacher, a devote my volunteer time to my school and my small community garden. This is character defamation and they should be sued!

    They gather huge amounts of data about you with the promise of a report only to be forced to pay AFTER you provide sensitive data. A legitimate company would state this upfront, prior to gathering personal info. Very scammy company!!

    My email and ****** accounts were hacked and someone opened an account with Truth Finder without my permission in July then they cancelled it in September. I didn't know about it until November when I checked my ****** account. I called Truth Finder and they agreed that I didn't create the account with them. They refunded September's payment but refused to refund July and August payments citing too much time had passed. Even spoke with a supervisor, who stated the same. This company admits to taking my money under fraudulent conditions but refuseds to refund it. This is theft by deception.
