Their website(s) is COMPLETE BULLSHIT but they are holding us responsible for payment!!! These people are CON-ARTISTS and use many web addresses to confuse the consumer and along with slick disclaimer terminology, try their best to hold the consumer responsible to pay for "Example" services (the facade) that they advertise as "Actual" services. The reality is that you get NOTHING that you paid for.
The web addresses they use include: www.government-records.com, www.gov-reports.net, http://gov-reports.net/database-access.php, www.Govt-Files.com, www.RecordsArea.com, www.RecordsLogin.com and www.Clickbank.com.
I logged on to www.government-records.com and purchased the V.I.P. Premium Database Access for $39.95 that supposedly comes with Lifetime Unlimited Database Access Plus Free Unlimited Upgrades Plus Free Online Support ( 7 days a week ). Offering One Time Billing (No Recurring Fees)
With payment, this site claims that I can "Access All Public Records "FREE" with Instant access to Premium People Searches, Civil Public Records, Background Records, Court Records, Marriage Records, Death Records, Credit Records, Government Records, Property Records, Reverse Record Searches, & much more. No Additional Cost - Today Only!"
But when I searched for a birth record for anyone with the last name McMahan ever born in the state of California, it came up with NO RECORDS FOUND!!!
Immediately following payment after placing your order, you receive direct access to their Government Records members area AUTOMATICALLY. But if you read closely, their disclaimer reads:
PART I: By your use of the Government-Records.com service, you agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Govt-Files and Government-Records.com it's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, server maintainers, and contributors against any and all claims arising out of said use, regardless of the cause, effects, or fault. Under no circumstances will Government-Records.com, it's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, server maintainers, and contributors be liable for any damages from your reliance upon anything derived from this site even if Government-Records.com, it's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, server maintainers, and contributors have been advised that such defect or unsuitability exists.
I find it APPALLING that they would try to keep themselves free of liability EVEN IF THEY ARE AT FAULT AND KNOW IT!!! Another part of their disclaimer reads:
PART 3. I, the member, accept liability for all payments charged to my account by me or by anyone else using my "Username" and "Password" to access any part of Government-Records.com, whether or not that person does so with my authorization. I understand that it is my responsibility to keep my "Username" and "Password" in a secure place, and that I am fully responsible for all charges incurred by usage thereof.
Is that even legal??? Does that mean that they could hold me liable even if my credit card was stolen?
But THE MOST APPALLING OF ALL is where their disclaimer establishes that their website materials and descriptions exist only as an EXAMPLE and don't reflect their ACTUAL services!!! It reads:
PART 6. I understand that all descriptions, search results, photographs and other matter relating to this service/product used on the Government-Records.com website are for illustration purposes only and do not reflect actual services/products one will be able to find by using our services. I understand that Government-Records.com's service is for the use of it's premium search databases including Criminal Records, Civil Records, and Bankruptcy Records to help keep me informed of the general public in my surrounding area. I understand that as a premium search member, Gov-Record's also provides me with free public record databases and resources which may include unaffiliated third party companies who can provide me with investigation searches. I understand that these third party companies may not be 100% complete or accurate and understand that in most cases they may charge me a fee to conduct a search.
What I read in that statement is that their website(s) is COMPLETE BULLSHIT but they are holding us responsible for payment!!! These people are CON-ARTISTS and use many web addresses to confuse the consumer and along with slick disclaimer terminology, try their best to hold the consumer responsible to pay for "Example" services (the facade) that they advertise as "Actual" services. The reality is that you get NOTHING that you paid for.
