unauthorized charges
About a month ago I paid $0.99 for a number search from Intellius. When I agreed to pay the $0.99 it clearly stated that I would only be charged that amount and what the charge would show up as on my card. Now I have a charge of $19.95 showing up on my statement for some sort of ID protect. This is not the amount quoted to me? I see that there are a numerous amount of complaints about this company and this scam it appears to be running. With enough light brought to this situation maybe others will be warned and us who have been "scammed" be refunded our money!!!

ID Protection Scam
Intellius offers consumer reports on persons one is trying to locate. However, they are also offering an "ID Protection Trial" free for only seven days, at which point they bill the credit card you used for your consumer report for $19.95. My computer was attacked by Trojan viruses when the report downloaded, and as the ID Protect Terms were buried in such a way as to not find them, I thought no more of Intellius until I noticed the $19.95 charge on my account. An account with a bank I was no longer using, so the account is now overdrawn, and I have to pay $15 to leave the bank, or incur further charges. Upon reporting the incident to Intellius one day after they charged me, they refused to refund the money, even though I never used the service, nor do I intend to. This was a complete scam, and an easy way for them to steal $20 per person.

Fraud
What can I do? I also had several charges from 24 protect fast 123. It's from INTELLIUS. I was looking for a friend, and they charged me .95 cents, then another 39 and 25 dlls. Today I got another 24.95 charge. I sent them an e-mail and no body answered me. How can I stop the charges?

Nightmare
The website indicates $19.96 for a backround check. After charging my credit card they charged me $49.95 and then the following month $19.95 for a membership I didn't want. Calling their customer service is a nightmare.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!!
DO NOT USE INTELLIUS.
THEY DO NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH CURRENT RECORDS.
YOU CAN'T GET ANYONE AT "CUSTOMER SERVICE".
THEY ARE ONLY OPEN FROM MON-FR. 9 - 4:30 P.M.
THEY DO NOT CONTACT YOU FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS AFTER YOU HAVE PAID THEM, THUS THE 3 DAY LEGAL LAW THAT REQUIRES AN AUTOMATIC REFUND WOULD HAVE PASSED.
YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH HELL TO GET A REFUND...IF YOU EVER GET ONE THAT IS.
NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY. THEY SHOULD BE SUED.

Cancelled service but still got charged $19.95
I requested a reverse phone number lookup and paid $0.99 and they automatically signed me up for ID Protect service. HOWEVER, I cancelled it 5 days later (within the trial period) but they still charged my card $19.95. I called their "Help" numbers but it said, they are "temporarily unable to answer any calls"!!! THis is so frustrating...Can anything be done to stop them from continuing this scam????

19.95 for what?
I purchased a .95 cent people search. No where did i agree to a 19.95 service. But a month later 19.95 was deducted from my checking account without warning causing two NSF charges to my account. Not cool. It definitely feels like a scam, because there's no e-mail notification or product. I am going to file complaints with the FTC and the Washington state authorities. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Victims should organize a class action lawsuit against intellius.

Fraud-
I tried this Intellius for a trial 48 cent test to find one phone number and ended up with 3 months worth of charges at $19.95 plus another company called Valu max also started charging the same $19.95 per month for 3 months. Be aware that they "may" be sharing your bank card info.
At least I have it stopped now by cancelling my bank account and notifing by banks fraud division.
