Giving children's information
It is annoying and invasive to have one's personal and financial information so easily accessible for a small fee, but Spokeo has crossed the line when it puts children's names and information on its site. I found my preschool granddaughter's information listed even though her parents had requested to be removed from the service. Included was their address and a picture of their house, in addition to the other categories available for viewing. One only needs to pick up the newspaper any day of the week and read about the ends to which child predators will go to lure their prey. It would be easy to lure a child with such information, especially a very young child. It should be illegal to post personal information about anyone under the age of majority. However, at the least, company policy should be changed. It's he moral and socially responsible thing to do.

they are not free but they advertise they are
spokeo says they are free, but they charge and don't mention when they take your money that you are limited to a certain number of searches and when you cancel even though you have 2 months paid for they want issue a refund and want you to upgrade so they can flim flam you out of more money and to be honest you could Google the people you look up and get better information.

unethical
Unfortunately gave credit card info for "one-time" access charge of $2 and some odd cents - although all over website says "free 30 day trial" - cancel at anytime. Check card balance to find $35.40 charged immediately!!! "fine print" and rep from company claims website is used by a vendor also and it's the vendor advertising 30 day free trial TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION - UNETHICAL SALES PRACTICES - may have been a note-worthy site if not all the deception.

Privacy Options is a Scam
Despite Spokeo's claim to respect your request to remove private information from their site. The "email" you are to check for in your inbox NEVER arrives. They claim to "give priority" to government addresses and even ask if you are a law enforcement or government official seeking privacy. Should be interesting to learn if they are building THAT database of addresses as well, of if they are smart enough to respond when a lawmaker requests privacy. Meanwhile, Joe sixpack and soccer moms, you are screwed!

Reimbursment to my debit card
i was under the impression that the fee was $2.95 a year. And did not specify that $35.00 would be deducted from my debit at one time. I would appreciate it if I can be reimburst for my funds. Yes I did cancel my subscription as soon as I checked my balance on my card, and found out that $35.00 was taken from my card.

Violation of privacy
This company takes it upon itself to publish very private information without knowledge or permission of the individual. To publish address and age should be illegal. It is not only dangerous but also violates a basic human right to privacy and decency. Please help protect people against companies such as Spokeo.com

UNFAIR ADVERTISING
This is a "peoplesearch" site scam. They let you do a search for free then tell you they have more information if you pay a subscription. Then, after you purchase a subscription they simply say "There is no more information on your search".
It is a ROTTEN BUNCH OF LIARS. Then they simply tell you "we don't guarantee results" BUT they tell you they DO have information if you just pay for subscription but then they DON'T!

bogus web site
spokeo is supposed to contain information about people, none of which was correct, as I did check on myself AFTER having to pay a memebership fee of $35.00. I notified them that I wanted to cancel membership..they did but you don't get your money back..NO REFUND POLICY...so they keep your money..what a way to do business.
You charge people for something which you don't provide the truth about and get paid for it. Great way to run a business..NO a SCAM...we should have cyberpolice to handle these rip offs...

Spokeo deception
Just think about it. They sell you an unethical service (cyber-stalking), and you expect them to ethical themselves? I have a nice bridge to sell you.
Don't be fooled. You will not be able to stop them from illegally charging your credit card until you cancel that credit card. They have the credit card dispute departments wrapped around their finger with their deceptively-worded fine print.
You will lose time, money, and your peace of mind.
