The information is not accurate. Can not be trusted. I signed up for trial for the 95 cents and because I had an account 2 years ago they signed me up for 3 months and charged me the $39. I was able to make them reverse it. It does not tell you that when you sign up. I looked myself up and the information is not accurate. It was not for any family member either. Can not be trusted.

I did a search which required a $0.95 payment to get the results. I paid the $0.95, received the results and about a week later I noticed an additional $29 charged to my account by Spokeo. I called and they agreed to give me back my $29 as it was unauthorized but be very careful giving these guys any of your information and know what you are signing up for. They can take your money immediately but it takes 7 days to put it back.

I was trying to find an important address. I paid $1.00 to supposedly find this out. The address was from 8 years back. So I paid the $14.95 for 1 month. I then entered the name and the information was so outdated. I went to BeenVerifed and found everything I needed. I chatted online with an associate and ask for my money back. They wanted to give me $5.98. I told them about the outdated information. They told me $5.98 was the cap of the refund. DO NOT give them your money.

Spokeo is a scam. The link states that you can search for free. All I needed was an address. The Spokeo website would pretend that they were doing a through search, after the search they would charge you ninety five cents for a one week trial. After you accept the offer, they would then tell you that they could not locate any information on the person that you had requested information on. I decided to make use of the free trial. I found nothing, nothing at all. Spokeo knew that there was no information in advance, this is the reason why they blurred out the face. I cancelled my subscription immediately! What a waste of my time!

Well, a possible scammer gave me her phone number and I was investigating if it was a real person but I got scammed by Spokeo instead, lol. The information I got from Spokeo did not help at all, even though they supposedly had more information before I paid and once I paid I got like 2 lines of worthless information and the worst part is the subscription renewed for $29.97 when I contacted them for a refund, only $11.98 was returned. Worst service ever. I got scammed.

Spokeo Spokeo. This company will Spook you. The fact that they still exist baffles me. Authorities need to give the owners of this fraud enterprise jail time like they need oxygen. I closed my spokeo account because of the recurring charges I was getting, but my goodness, that charges kept coming!!! Spokeo don't know how to stop the carnage to your pocket. These guys are masters of the act. My dollar card was from grey.co which I emailed several times about the issue with Spokeo. I asked them to change or delete my dollar card as I wasn't able to do that at the time, but seems like they were in talks with bad customer service. Long story cut short, Spokeo gave me a damage of more than $100 before my card was deactivated by grey.co. If you have been defrauded by Spokeo, don't stay away, go get them!!! And if you are thinking, don't bother thinking....thanks.

Spokeo has a lot of incorrect information about me on its site. I could not believe the things I saw on its site about me! I contacted them and they did nothing to correct the information. I hate to get my attorney involved, but it looks like I may have to.

They claim they had fine print authorizing a charge, but if it was there it was so fine I never saw it. I am so angry that such a known ripoff company is still allowed to operate on Venmo that I closed that account too. Fifty years ago a company like this would have gone to jail.

Spokeo sent me an e mail saying get a report for free. They contacted me then wanted credit card # and wanted to charge me 95 cents. Free is free. Not 95 cents. It is fraud and lies. I would not piss on Spokeo if they were on fire. Will contact Federal Trade Commission. They should not advertise something that is not true. Looking at other reviews Spokeo should be banned from commiting these fraudulent acts.

Total scam. Before receiving payment they claim to have all kind of information of the owner email you’re searching. After receive payment it says no information available. It was only 95 cents but I’m going to get my money back. Hate scammers.
