Cancellation and refund
It doesn't work at all, and insists on me paying again, I didn't understand anyway. I can't afford hidden charges and fees. I am a senior citizen, and it's hard to do myself. I live alone.
User's recommendation: Don't charge twice.

Concern about false information
Just out of curiosity, i looked myself up to see what Peoplefinders was telling anyone who cared to ask about me. The nearest match had some correct information. However, it also had me living in places i've never lived and related to people i've never heard of. My name is a fairly common one; apparently they've mashed me up with at least one other person with the same name. with the same na

Unable to remove my information
Repeated attempts, per peoplefinders webpage/directions, to remove my information from their website despite repeated attempts. The information that is disclosed is more detailed than what I found noted on other sites. This is very concerning due to it be as detailed as it is. I have repeatedly, per the directions given by peoplefinders, to not sell my information/opt out. Repeatedly, it states that a verification email has been sent to the email address that I submitted. No verification email is sent to me. Unless I receive a verification email, I have no ability to remove my information which is very detailed. Which includes, first middle and last name. Several addresses, age, known relatives, etc and then, it gives anyone the ability to purchase a report/ compiled/including a deep dive. Which poses a substantial risk to my privacy. Especially in that the information disclosed is detailed and can be accessed via a basic google search. Under no circumstances do I grant any permission to sell my information and every attempt to opt out/remove my name fails. No verification email is sent and unless it is, no action will be taken to remove my information from being disclosed. This is not a matter of a delay in receiving the verification email. No verification emails have been submitted to me and which enables me to complete the process. Without doing so? No action is taken to remove my information/name. Due to the information disclosed, time is critical. This is unacceptable.

Original review updated by user Dec 15, 2020
I found this number 1 (80*) 718-**** linked to a 29.95 charge on my online checking that I definitely DID NOT sign up for and then I notice that it's not only came out 1 time but multiple times! I googled the number and first this page was the first to come up. Its not the same price every time and its not a one time every month. I know its fraud. As soon as Bank of America opens, I will be letting their fraud department know then Im going to make sure they regret stealing from me. Im so sick of these scam artist. No one should ever deal with this *** and Ive had enough. User's recommendation: I wasn’t even a customer and they were able to steal my money!

It's very simple. I didn't sign up for anything. I allowed my friend to get a one time lookup for .95¢ and instead I get $24.95 billed to my debit account. Yeah, I don't think so. This is blatantly a branded technique used by People finders to rip people off. Shame on you People Finders! User's recommendation: Don't use people finders.

They overcharged me!
I wanted to look up an old friend and saw that it would only cost 5.00 so I canceled my account afterwards. Instead of being charged my 5.00, I was charged an extra 29.00, plus my 5.00! So I called the company, the man looked me up and said yes I do see you, and you did cancel. You do get a refund, and here is the number. I couldnt reach anyone! We had a house fire, my nerves are already shot and I need every penny! Please help!
User's recommendation: Don’t use them, you turn your back, and they steal your money, and then.what should be a simple issue-getting yr Money back, turns into one big hassle for days!

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerTook money out without authorization
Did the trial and didnt really care for it. Gave you basic information and thats it. You had to pay more to get all of the information. Cancelled my membership within a few days. Then I found out they took out $24.95 membership fees. UNAUTHORIZED!!! Called and they dont even have a membership for me. This company called people finder is unethical. Stealing money that doesnt belong to them.
User's recommendation: Don’t ever go through this company!!!!!

Non stop messages on my phone
Just happened to put my sons name in on here to show someone. Your info is not factual. And I do not wish to get these constant messages from your site. Its annoying and cannot depend on your site for factual info. So please stop sending me these messages. No where on them can I stop it but I get at least 3-5 a day on my phone.
User's recommendation: Do not even open their site.
