I was searching for a reverse directory to look up a single land line phone# when I found a .99 cent offer on the web site.I entered the number and was assured by the site that they had the name.
Consequently, I entered the requested personal data then looked up the number. I was very careful in not checking more boxes offering and making sure that none were checked automatically. After searching (no information was found for the phone number) I checked the account information and was outraged to find my had been billed nearly $25.00 dollars for the failed search. There is no way I will ever go near this company again!.

After reading multiple revues of on the internet I believe these people should be sent to prison for the rest of their lives?.

"In my recent test searches I found that Intelius was charging even when there was no data (which you don’t see until you pay). And when the data is available, in all cases I was able to find it elsewhere for free."
