On 9/5/10 I went on line to peoplesmart.com to see if I could locate a of mine. I order the original report at 1.95 to see his . I wanted more information on him so I upgraded my report to the 18.00 report. On the website the advertised a free 7 day trial. I did not want this as I was only looking for my which was a 1 shot deal. I checked my account and saw the two charges and did not think about anymore, because according to my caluclations 7 days from 9/5/2010 would put it at 9/12/2010 or 9/13/2010 at the latest. I saw no other charges on my account from peoplesmart.com so I thought no more about it.

Well on 9/18/2010 I checked my account and saw a charge from peoplesmart.com fro 35.40. So I went back to peoplesmart.com to check my out my account (to see) if I had one. Lo and behold I did. I did not know that when I initiated the charge for the $1.95 for the inital report that I would be charged an annual membership. You would think that when I upgraded the report for 18.00 the membership would happen. So, lesson number if you are using this site for a 1.95 search be careful, you are actually signing up for a membership. When you do cancel, you have to acknowledge that you had an account in the first place. Which sucks if all you wanted was one little report.

Then I noticed that my so called 7 day ended on 9/18/2010. They charged my account on 9/17/2010.

I called customer service, which the is not readily available for you to do so. So, I launched a number of e-mails and the number comes up with a message that states "You are not satisfied, please call us so we can make it right". I called!.

The customer service representative attemtped to BS me and tell me that I knew I had an account and a membership". When I told her that I took screenshots of all of the pages and have printout's and my activities, I did not opt in for an annual memebership;. She graciously (I used the term loosely) offered to refund my in 2-5 business days and the attempted to get me off of the phone:. I told her I was not finised and let her know that I was on my way to my bank to file a formal dispute, I was going to post my experience on line'. I was also going to contact my states attorney general..

I have posted to you guys.. I am now on my way to my bank'. Please avoid these folks. 315ccca

I was looking for one simple phone number, paid the .95 cents and lo and behold 8 days later my account was charged the $39.95. I will be contacting peoplesmart.com tomorrow to request a full refund. They are sure are smart, they have really hidden the fact you will be charged the 39.95.

I too tried to use the simple one-time search function, and thought I was very vigilant in ensuring I was NOT opted into any trial period, or membership. Despite my best efforts, I was still charged the $39.95. I called and had it canceled and refunded, but am furious that they set up their webpage to be so misleading. What a scam.

Another victim of this devious practice of e-mail fraud. Buyer beware! I saw a charge for $35.40, and upon further research, found this web site. I never intended to use this more than once, yet, this site continues to charge my credit card. What a scam.

My next stop is my credit card company, to ban future charges from my account. Perhaps a letter to Lisa Madigan. Buyer beware!!! :(

I was also taken in by their very dishonest approach to doing business. I am in business & oftentimes receive phone numbers with no address or addresses with no phone #. I was told that if I paid $39.95 I would have a one year membership that would provide me with Up to date contact info plus available public records including criminal records, motor accidents, property ownership, bankruptcies, licenses, judgments & liens. After they charged my acct. every time that I tried to find people via reverse phone # or even real number I am directed to a page that says that I need to pay $19.95 to get any info. Says info is available but not until I add the order to my cart. Misrepresentation and misleading to say the least. Why did I pay the $39.95 in the 1st place. To add insult to injury when I called to find out how this service worked the guy was really rude & acted like I had a comprehension problem while he could not answer any questions about what the $39.95 entitled me to.I am trying to file complaint with BBB but since it is on internet their location is unknown. Has anyone else tried to file a complaint & if so had. This is a scam & shameless rip off.I want to close them down. Anyone know how to report them. The rep said they have a AAA rating from BBB. From look at complaints here it seems like we should be able to do something. Also regular white pages don't work now as anytime I enter whitepages, Denver CO. I am immediately sent to People Smart! Can't even access free... Show more

I think I also just got ripped off! I was just trying to get a copy of BC & thought I would pay 1 month & NOTHING ELSE now I am worried that I will also be charged for something I didn't authorize. Initially I got info that there was such a document as what I need so I paid & then was told there was nothing in their records!!! They then couldn't find what I need. I was just trying to same time & gasoline by avoiding a trip into the city.

They did this to me last year. After I said I will report them to the attorney general I received my money back on my charge card. Originally I never bought anything more than the $1.99 but was billed $35.40. Today they E-mailed me to renew a contract automatically for $35.40. Here we go again.

This is B.S., says I'm using the wrong username or password to access my so called account to cancel this hogwash! Next is a call to the FTC and so on. This is shameful behavior! "Pissed off" is the phrase of the day!!!
