Noa Ranoa Vista, CA

I've only used Intelius to find out more information on a roommate to be. I found out she had an arrest she didn't tell me about. I paid less than $10.00. I just needed to use them once. You can cancel after you get your results. Nice and Easy.

I used intelligence for many years it was a very trustworthy product and gave me a lot of information I didn't expect and was far superior to the other identity theft products that I was using

What a scam . False advertising . After I located the person I've been looking for I oined for a special membership price I did the supposed real search on my friend and I received the same info I got for free before joining. UNLESS I USED A "search voucher" for the real info and then I would automatically be billed almost 30 dollars for the month. I joined, searched and cancelled My membership in five minutes. I want my money back. It's blatant thievery.

When you buy anything, charges for all manner of other things come up. Rip off alert.
