PeopleLooker has been charging my CC account since Jan 7. I in no way, contacted for services, nor did I use these services. I have no idea how the hot my cc info nor did I set up an account. On 1/7, 1/20, 3/2, 3/14, 4/16 my account was charged *****, with the exception of 1/7 which they charged hed me $1.00. This bring the total to $99.76 of charges I have never signed up for nor authorized. I have contacted twice to no luck talking to an actual human being. I have written , no response yet they keep charging me. There has to be someway to stop these companies that do not follow the guide lines of the law preying on innocent people. They think they can charge something somebody hoping they will not catch, doing so monthly. They are nearly impossible to contact one on one with virtually no customer service. I have contacted the ************************ of both WA and ** and expressed my concern and they assured me they would investigate and let me know the results. I find company like this to be predatory and shady. I hope others read this to understand even if you do not use their service it is nearly impossible to get any kind of straight answer or recourse from them, shamefull.Business Response

Hi ****,
Thank you for reaching out and allowing us the opportunity to resolve this for you.
The account was reactivated on 01/07/25 with our $1.00 7-day trial. Upon further review, it appears we did not receive a request to cancel prior to the end of the trial. In that event, your account was automatically renewed to the monthly subscription of $24.99.
When signing up for our background reports, the subscription does outline that it will auto-renew until elected to cancel. You can contact us to cancel at any time, and will not be billed for your next billing cycle.
Please be assured that the account was canceled and you were issued a refund of $74.97. The refund was processed immediately on our end, however, please note that it may take up to 10 days for the refund to reflect on your bank statement depending on your financial institution.
Your refund covers transactions from 01/15/25 to 03/14/25. We are unable to refund any earlier transactions from previous billing periods.If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at support@BeenVerified.com.

I used a trail 1$ for 3 days like two yrs ago on canceled in the time frame ,on a ****** card that I rarely use except for on line orders So Ive tried to reach them 20 odd times trying reach and can not get live person because I dont have the email or the phone number anymore without that you cant cancel I cant even ask for a refund because I cant eventalk to a live person. This is awful. Ive got like $58 that they just swipe off my card last month no not last month of the hit, but its been dollar hits every month well that that that should tell you right there something wrong because its a dollar for a three day trial not one dollar a month and hit me for a whole year and then turn around and charge me a 20 $22 and then just that it aint right I had no way all I have is a bill transaction number on my ****** activity thing which I didnt I never had the app. know I didnt have no ****** app until recently and that being said Im able to see activity on it while theyve been taking my money since the very beginning and after I even after I canceled it so now Ive tried for two months, trying to get it to get them to stop I still cant reach nobody they dont. Theres no way that if you dont have your phone number or a email that you used to getthis service you cant you cant stop it you cannot make them stop you cant reach nobody. You cant do nothing about it and its robbery thats criminal in my opinion 100% and when you do get to talk to something you get to talk to them through like a email back well whats your information your login information if you dont have then then then they just dont even respond back to you again they just keep on doing it now if you guys can get a hold of them, can you tell me how to do it versus not going down there knocking on their or sending them a letter in the mail cause you cant do it over the phone I promise you that.Business Response
