    Radaris is publishing personal information about me that is blatantly incorrect, and I have reason to think it's impeding my ability to get hired. I became suspicious about my personal information during my job search, so googled myself only to find that Radaris is publishing false information! So I followed their prompts to take ownership of the various incorrect profiles. Part of that process involves getting a verification code sent to your cell phone, which DOES NOT WORK! So I reached out to their customer service and all they told me was that they are having technical issues and have not corrected them since almost 2 months ago. Meanwhile my false profile information is still out there doing its damage!

    As of yesterday afternoon, after I made the ** complaint, I received an email stating that they had cleared off the data that I requested them to do 2 months ago. So, it's resolved now but I hope there is a way to keep the complaint visible to other people. The amount of damage that this inaccurate personal information did to me is unknown and cannot be quantified but this company should be held accountable for their negligence.

     

    Thank you!

    I could never imagine that removing information from one site would be so difficult. Radaris seems to be the worst company to opt out of if you're lucky enough to find yourself exposed on the website. I'm simply trying to remove my information from your database without any hustle.

    Radaris refuses to remove my personal information. They force you to make an account with them so they can extract more data from you. They are a Latvian based company, but they hide this fact. This is most likely not a legitimate business.

    This company, a public record data broker, makes it impossible to remove your data. I have worked with some of the largest, Spokeo, 411, MyLife, UnMask - and plenty of others, who, on the very first request to remove information from their database do so, almost immediately. Not so with Radaris, aka, Nuform ************** **************, *****************************************************************************. They go out of their way to avoid removing someone's information. They list a phone number, but the recording (of course!) always refers you to an email address, and the email address response refers you to the phone number! Surprise! It's just a *************** - no one EVER responds to an email or answers the phone. They require your email and phone number to register to remove your information and say they'll text a code to input to verify you, but of course, the text never comes, and, surprise, now they have your email address and phone number! It's a total SCAM. Recently, I convinced ****** of Radaris's slimy ways, and they deleted tons of information from Radaris on their website but can't force Radaris to remove the information from Radaris's website. Radaris has "created" a new shortened profile of my name to ****, from *******, but uses the same last name, with no street address now, but with the same town and state. They have created a whole new profile of me by manipulating the information! They are a manipulative, dishonest, and disgusting company. They should be eradicated!
