I am embarrassed to have fallen for this ripoff. I had been looking for the best price for a criminal background check. Most were running about $40-$50. Well, this electronic equivalent of pond scum claims UNLIMITED access to a variety of databases for only $30. Of course, there is legal language saying that "some" information is in "premium" databases that cost extra. But the phrase "UNLIMITED ACCESS TO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS" would seem to indicate... Unlimited access.
And of course, they have all the legal language to get away with it. Yes, you can run a background check, and yes, it will give you a name and the name of the violation. But no date, and if you want any details... You have to pay more because it's a "premium" service.
All of the databases are like that. Yes, you have "unlimited" access to basically information that says, "we found the name... Of course, if you want details, you'll have to pay us even more for it."
Then, if you fall for the come-on off "ONLY $2.95" to have UNLIMITED ACCESS to the premium data, you'll see it's "UNLIMITED" for FOUR DAYS ONLY. After that, you'll pay a whopping $20 a month! Unless you cancel. Which probably won't happen because you can't contact them.
That their deception is intentional is clear if you try to contact them. Their "contact" page is non-functional.
I should have known better. Hopefully, the readers of this will now know better, too.
Stay away.
