Like a journalist, I have had experience working in the entertainment business. I have need on occasion to "cut red tape" of that business, and call a private phone number
Of a "public figure" (aka a "celebrity") I'd contacted InfoSearch to obtain such an exotic number from a private address that I'd gotten. But they took my $125 and said "we don't do celebrity searches, so you forfeited your money". NOWHERE does it say in their contract, that they won't do such a search. I'm not proposing anything illegal, and what I want done is appropriate to the situation. I've complained via my bank that my money was taken under false pretenses, because I never would have ordered the search had I known.
Looking back over their contract, there are a number of "traps" set to collect a consumer's money, even for those who DON'T need celebrity-number searches... Not good.
