Instant Checkmate
Steals Credit Card Numbers

Miscellaneous

I went online to do a back ground check on a prospective employee last April and came across the instant checkmate site which claims it can find existing public records
of anyone and so I typed the name of interest into the little search box they provide.
I was then prompted and told that all kinds of information existed on that person but would have to pay $1 for a free one week trial first and was directed to another page where to pay by cr card.

However upon entering my card infomation a red pop up told me that my card information was no good and so thinking that perhaps I had typed in a wrong number or missed one I carefully re typed the same cr card info twice. However, the second time produced the same results, a message that my cr card was not valid. Actually, it was not a cr card but actually my bank debit card which draws funds directly from my checking account.

Anyway I never could access any info, kept being told that my cr card was no good and gave up and quit trying.

I also have two bank accounts which I use alternatively for different work I do and after August stopped using the account I had tried to use to pay for Checkmate but left it open with a small balance of $100 in it while my economic activities shifted to my other account.

Then in mid December the bank notified me of an over draft in my one account which I did not understand because I had not used the account in almost five months. However when I went into the bank to talk to a service rep to see what the problem was and she pulled the account up, it was all charges from Checkmate at the rate of $24.99 month since last June.

So it seems that their site is designed to trick people into providing cr card info and deceives them into thinking that nothing was ever charged due to some glitch and in fact they were just harvesting crd info and then waiting.in my case they waited two entire months before starting to charge me $24.99 per month... Or actually steal it from me. What is ironic is that this company which claims to be a defender of truth and justice and a service to protect the innocent about hidden potential criminals in their midst is in fact nothing but a criminal racket itself.

Best to avoid these people and do not give them any personal info as it will only be used to steal from you and for possible other identity fraud futher down the line
. These people are evil and if anyone knows how to report them to law enforcement, they should try to bring them down. It is interstate fraud and so this should be Federal. Jr
