I wanted to look up some information on my sister's new boyfriend. The web site advertised a one time use background check for under three dollars. I went through with it. It held NO useful information, nothing I didnt already know, home address, and phone number. When you click on "view full report" it asks that you pay almost $40 just to see more information! That is more than likely useless as well.
The web site doesnt even leave a phone number to call. The address is more than likely bogus too.
I looked at the receipt in my email and it said I was billed for $35.40! Right now, its 3:05am sunday morning, I called my account and my debit card has not been billed yet. If the bank was open I could call and report my card stolen so they cant deduct the amount. But the rip-off'ers will probably get to it on Monday morning before I will.
I guess I have to chalk it up as a loss and learn from it. And tell anyone and everyone who will listen about this scam. Dont give your bank information to anyone online who isnt reputable, like wal-mart and such.
