      I used my cc on intelligence for a free trial and canceled within my free trial but charged. I called them when I found out that my bank said I was charged, called intelligence, but they will not refund my money. *** on the phone at intelligence first she said she could give me refund then changed her story. Poor customer service and misrepresentation. This company should be investigated for false promises and fraudulent activity towards unsuspecting public.

      I'm sick of being lead down a rabbit hole of hoops to get free public information that is never free. " We need to verify your age" or name or whatever is a scam. Used a debit card I rarely use last time to verify and within 10 minutes received a call from the company that someplace 1500 miles away was trying to charge that card, got a new card on that same account and within 15 minutes of activation had to close it, Now only bank in person with that account. I'm done with deceptive companies, sites, whatever

      The company is a scam. So obviously I did not give them any money, because I knew better, just by looking at their website.

      Just another crack pot scheme to wiggle some moneymout of unsuspecting consumers. I just wanted a phone number looked up for a name or business. This site said it offered free services, but that was a lie. I DO NOT need to know every single detail of a phone number and have you turn around to ask for payment. Completely ridiculous. AND the BBB wants to give them an A+ rating with over 200 complaints and over half of them unresolved... What a waste of time

      Tried to use data suppression tool to remove my information. 1st step was to provide email address for verification. Took over 10 minutes to receive email, which stated that the link expires in 15 minutes. Received at 11:40 am, clicked link at 11:50 and received error message that the link was expired. Cannot move forward until email is verified, but cannot verify email.

      Wildly inaccurate information. I wish I'd checked here first. The information Intelius gives is wildly inaccurate. We bought a month and decided to test it first by looking up 2 close family members who live with us. The first one was listed as having multiple jobs as a district mgr and in-store mgr for a store in ********** AND another company in S. ******* AND another company in ***, ALL at the same time, even though she was living with ** in ******** and was cutting hair at a local salon, and homeschooling her son. It also gave her a Master's degree from ******* but she has never lived in ******* and only has a high school diploma, not even a bachelor's degree. ******, what a waste of money. How in the world do they come up with this info??

      INTELIUS is fraudulent and charging me for a service I did not sign up for. I had visited their site for a record I paid the 1 time fee for .95 for a record I never received I saw I was billed $1.01 fine I never got the results but it was $1.01 so I chucked it up that was 3/21/24 since then every 3-4 days they are attempting to charge me almost $37! I have called my card provider they have issued multiple virtual cards that INTELIUS keeps getting ahold of! I tried to log to their website with the only 2 emails I have ever used and no accounts for me! I called their customer service and the representative was rude, unwilling to help and said you dont have an account heres an email address send them screen shots of it have a good day. I was totally upset I requested a supervisor and she refused to put one on the line I have been sitting on hold for 31 minutes because she said he was on other calls he can call me back in 2 days WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THIS!!!! Fraudulent charges are being charged to me and you cant find an account what is happening with this company and why is the BBB not helping me they said write a review unless I take them to civil court thats all I got right now!!!! Totally disgusted!!! I need HELP! I cant even unlock my card because they keep trying to charge it Im up to 6 unauthorized charges of over $36 in less than 30 days!
