I purchased a people search to verify an old friend's birthday - this was $1.95.

I was later billed $24.95 at the end of the month and again at the end of this month.

I never authorized any other charges and never asked for or knew that I was "receiving" any other services.

The billing is for "Value-Max"- still have no idea what it is for.

Contacted Intelius demandng the unauthorized charges be refunded - they say :
"After reviewing your account we noticed an additional offer that was accepted through one of our affiliate sites, Valu-Max. For additional information or to cancel the accepted offer please call Valu-Max at (888)-205-2257. "

This is a lie- I never accepted anything or even remember seeing an offer...
