On December 21st I was checking my email and saw a message from ****** stating my personal information was being used by Intelius. I have NEVER heard of this website before so when ****** offered to submit a request to have my information removed so it wouldn't be searched, I clicked without hesitation. Before the evening ****** approved my request to have my personal information removed from being searched but they also stated if I wanted to have my information COMPLETELY removed from Intelius, I would have to go on the site and go through the process. When I started the "Suppress" process on Intelius I noticed they had my full name, my home address, every email I've ever used since my teenage years (a lot of those emails are no longer active), my age and phone numbers (again, some of those numbers aren't active either.) I don't know how these people got my personal information but I do NOT like the idea of unknown sources/websites having access to that WITHOUT my knowledge or permission. It's an invasion of privacy and has the potential of violating someone's safety. I'll definitely be speaking to my attorney about this.Intelius.com

I think this company should research a person before putting anything about someone in the wrong hands. Not even close to correct information. Type in your own phone number and see how random information gets attached to your name. They are only getting 1 star because I couldn't leave 0.Intelius.com

Intellius is a waste of time and money . You pay the monthly fee and then they want to charge you for every piece of information such as email or phone information. A waste of $25 as all of the information is old and incomplete. I have no idea how they have an A+ rating, they're a scam.Intelius.com

I went to the site to get information on someone who texted me and I paid for a trial for 5 days, then they still charged me for information on the number, then it said they had to put researchers on it and it works take 3-5 business days for results. Then the same day, my back account has fraud and I needed my bank to cancel my card. Such a scam!!!Intelius.com

Seems to me these large internet businesses are taking us all for granted. I paid one dollar and two cents to find a phone number. Nothing happened. It took my money and I got nothing in return. No wonder these firms are getting rich while the little guy gets scammed. I want my money back. Also if I find that they are taking my money off my debit, I will sue them regardless of who they think they are. This is a hardship scam. They are claiming, they can do what you want, but instead, they take your money and give you nothing. I believe it could be the office in ******* because it gives that address and when you hit the tab it says the office is no longer there. Go Figure.Intelius.com
