Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
I ordered a background check on myself. 95% of the information provided was wrong and/or related to someone else. And, the rest was already known. Given all areas to research for approximately $28 and got nothing. I should report them to the FCC for false advertising that goes nowhere.

BEWARE!!! SCAMMERS!!! These guys are phishing scammers who have and sell erroneous information. Avoid at all costs. I can't remove erroneous information without giving them MORE personal information. Avoid at all costs. Scammers!!! They operate under numerous aliases. BEWARE!!! SCAMMERS!!!
I agree with you guys!! I ran myself and it was giving me credit for stuff that I was doing that put me in legal situations and I was only 12 years old!It also gave me the name of a husbands ex wife as being an alias for me ! I was wondering why I was getting calls for her. I also thought it strange that I had no work or college experience when that is so wrong!I also ran my brother….. and I was amazed at how much information they provided! The addresses and work locations were very detailed…. But the only thing that I would like to know about is how my brother can have work phone and address histories for the last 20 years when he DIED in 1996 ? They even had property records too. ??????
I decided to check it out just to see what it would say, and the information on me was incorrect and negative. I really hate this is something that could potentially hurt people. And like 99% of it is untrue and the true things no one would be upset about. It's got to be a scam
I think it's a scam. I entered my ex husband's name and they found nothing! I know he served in US army, and been in court as a juvenile and we were married for 20 years
No matter where u go on one of these sites of course they r going to find anyone . If u have a birth certificate they will find u. Lol its funny bc I searched for my granddaughter shes only 5 it came up didnt have her age but said they have found criminal record I just searched her knowing she's tyo young to have any felonies/ criminal records. I just wanted to see how accurate they were also I never had a ticket / never been arrested or never been in jail/ prison.I'm 67 years old thats not normal people tell me bc more than half of this world has been n trouble for something from a young age . I would of trusted this company if they would of told me sorry we cant find any criminal activity for this person . They they would of told me the same about my 4 year old granddaughter that they cant find her and or any criminal records . That would of been a totally different situation. But for them to come back twll me they found criminal records on both of us. And they want to charge me ?? Thats c**p im not stupid . Anyone with a b. Certificate there going to find of course bc thats all filed away county court of records many more county / state records
I typed in the name I was looking for and it told me that they had found multiple criminal reports on the verified person I was looking up. But once I paid I discovered there were zero criminal records on the verified person I was looking up! I feel scammed!
I had the same experience. Most of my info was wrong. It's a scam. I thought it would be, but I tried it anyway. :(
