      Search People Free has been for a long time, Given out my phone number for a Lester B ********
      I have sent them emails asking for them to stop. They don't answer they're phone so you can't talk to them.
      It's a very poor-quality company to NOT care about bothering people with these problems.
      Can you PLEASE fill a complaint and ask them to respond to the many requests I have made to correct this problem?
      Thanks for your help

      This business is claiming that I live at my parents address and is publicly posting their phone number. This has landed them threats from a stalker. They claim my age which is WRONG but they are exposing my family's location. Luckily I don't live there but they are claiming I do. They are also posting a map to get to my house.

      Search People Free has listed inaccurate information, including my name: Barbara B ******** which it has never been. Most of the people they say I'm related to, I am not, I haven't even heard of most of them! Wrong addresses and phone numbers I've never had could link me to criminals and harm my business and professional life.

      I am requesting removal of my personal information from their databases and all others affiliated. I did not consent to have my personal information sold on their site that they are profiting from illegally.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
