the review that i read said, she spent days trying to find the same information that net detective offered fo only 29.00 for 3 yrs. i ordered it and 30 mins late cancceled it, i put in 2 name mine and a friend and it only showed you the address, if you wanted more info you have to pay for it.there should be a law to get scumbags like these people off the internet instead of ripping people off.now i only hope that these scumbags give me my total refund with out alot of problem.lies, lies, lies, lies

Trying to find out about a person that concerned me I turned to N.D., investing lots of money, the report I received was out dated, no criminal back ground showed I tried to protect my children, from a possible harm. Getting no satisfaction I'm back to worrying. They won't tell the truth be cause I don't know why. When I ask they become offended. I turned to N.D.for help, and got none!

This causes me concern, what happens if the are a sex offender, or something else. As it avertises, they are relible for information..where is the reliablity!

Complete fruad. Was directed by Consumer-Advisory.org to Net Detectives web site. Their a fraud also. Net Det. had less info than you can get doing a white pages look up. Of course they hide behind "With a People Search search, powered by Net Detective, you may find the following information:" thats right YOU MAY FIND, chances are you will not find. They could not even find my wife, previuos address, wrong age. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES!!

Wanted to do research on an employee, read their wedsite and it stated 29.95 for three years and 100% money back, sign up did one search and it told me to upgrade my membership for $10 to get more information which I did and the information I received was not as good as the people search which was free. Cancel the same day call them up and the told me to get a form and fax it in for a refund. They refund my $29.95, but not the upgrade for $10. Total scam

I needed a background check that included financial and criminal history for information on a potential tenant. Net Detective advertised background checks for 29.95, but when I purchased and entered the site, the background check was just a basic name, and outdated address. (You can get this type of information on some "white page" sites, for free.)

To get the information I needed, I had to "upgrade" to Net Detective Pro, for an extra 10.00 for three days - BUT you can't even upgrade unless you also agree that they can charge you an additional 29.95 per month aftr the 3 days is up!

I went ahead and upgraded, planning to cancel the following day to avoid being charged even more. So now I had spent 39.95, with a potential problem of future charges. The more "comprehensive" background check then showed basic census data, and claimed to find no criminal or financial history.

I then tested it by checking a relative with a long string of minor convictions (including jail time) and guess what? His check came back with no convictions found! Amazed, I checked a roommate who filed bankruptcy two years ago. It did not come up.

At this point I realized that their "thousands of databases" didn't have any relevant information! I called the next day and was able to get them to cancel the recurring billing of 29.95, but to get a refund of my original 29.95 I would have to download and print a four page document, which I need to fax or smail mail in to them. Why can't this be done by phone or online? Obviously to make it a hassle so that people will not follow through. To add insult to injury, the representative said the additional 10.00 was non refundable.

I suppose I was lucky to have only lost 10.00 and a couple hours time, but their deceitful advertising and difficult refund policy, plus their ineffectual searchs (which could make a searcher falsely confident when they shouldn't be) make them a ripoff. It's even potentially dangerous to claim to have information and show someone's record as clean when it is not.
