For all of those employers and
consumers that felt
Intelius was a scam, it runs out you were right. The details of their
fraud has been broken publically at: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/29/naveen-jains-
intelius-prepares-to-go-public-how-much-of-their-revenue-is-a-scam/
This was all one big scam aimed at maximizing revenues in order to go IPO--another big consumer rip-off by
crooks that are expert in manipulating the system. The management gets to take the
money and run and
consumers and shareholders would be left holding the bag. Any consumer uisng this site needs to beware.

Intelius is indeed a shady operation. I paid the .99 cents for one report and they have charged my VISA $24.95 for the last two months. When I called the number on the VISA bill, it is a recording and you can't talk to anyone. The day I used them, I cancelled the monthly service on their web site. They ignore this. There is really no way to cancel. VISA has the charges in "dispured" status at this time. These crooks should be shut down. It is a disgrace. Their meal mouthed comments are a lie!!

I can't believe I did not look into your website and others to check out Intellius before I laid out $,99 to just get an address. I know I did not order ANYTHING else, but I got dinged with a $19.95 charge for some other products they were touting. I cannot get the $19.95 back either. This is not just a scam, it is fraud. I just hope people read these complaint sites before they do ANYTHING with this company.
