I was receiving anoying text messages from somebody so I went to anywho.com to do a "reverse look-up" on the cell phone number. Anywho, affiliated with AT&T didn't have any information on the cell number so they provided a link to Intelius. The link indicates they can provide additional information. So I gave them my credit card number which they charge 21.48. This included the charge for the information and an additional charge to sent the information immediately to my email account.
What information did they provide? Here is the information they provided:
1. The name of the cell phone provider
2. The county and state of the cell phone provider's business address—not the county and state of the person's number but the county and state of the cell phone company's business address!
I am outraged!
I will be calling American Express to have them NOT pay the charge to Intelius—because I am not going to pay it.
Intelius misleads you into believing they are going to be providing information that is actually helpful and doesn't deliver. I would be okay with that if they acknowledged the information is worthless and refund your money (or better yet: don't take it to begin with if they realize they have no real information for your request).
Perhaps we all need to contact AT&T (from anywho.com) and ask them why they provide a link to Intelius when Intelius is ripping everybody off.
