Useless product in my case but good customer service

UPDATED REVIEW: Initial review: Useless product. After running "searches" the reports have no/completely wrong data. Pictures that might help verify ID are nowhere to be found, despite the fact that while running the "search" it claims to be searching social media (I know of the existence of at least 10 fake profiles for the searches I ran on different mainstream social media like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn that did not come up in my search). Any information needed to cross-reference a search, like an e-mail, require extra payment.

Update: After the review was published, I heard back from the company, who explained the various reasons why my searches could have been completely unsuccessful. The explanations were plausible, and the effort to reach out gets them a 2 star bump. They also refunded the cancelled membership, which was also appreciated and gets them another star.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We strive to keep our reports as current and comprehensive as possible, but there are times when data may not be fully accurate or complete due to the nature of public records and limitations of our data sources. Due to the nature of public record information, source data is sometimes reported or entered inaccurately, processed poorly or incorrectly, and is generally not free from defect. The Background Information Services are not the source of data, nor are they a comprehensive compilation of the data. We encourage you to use our reports as a starting point for your own due diligence and recommend that any data be independently verified before relying on it.

Regarding emails, if any email addresses are associated with the person's name in our available records, they would appear in the report at no additional cost. However, if you're looking to perform a reverse email search (searching by an email address to find a person), that is a different type of search service.

We have requested additional details through Trustpilot to better assist you.

If you'd like immediate assistance, our Customer Support team is available at 877-564-3003, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). (Holiday hours may vary.)

**UPDATED REPLY 2/9/2026**

Thank you for providing the additional information. We appreciate the opportunity to review your account and clarify what occurred.

No additional charges will be processed going forward.

We understand how frustrating this situation felt and appreciate you allowing us to address it directly.

Dear Sonia,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your concerns. We understand how upsetting it can be to see information that doesn’t appear accurate.

Instant Checkmate provides reports based on publicly available records obtained from a variety of sources, including federal, state, and local government records, court documents, and other legally accessible data sources. Because these records are compiled from multiple sources, they may sometimes contain outdated, incomplete, or misattributed information—particularly in cases involving common names or similar identifiers.

To better assist you and review the specific details in question, we’ve requested additional information through Trustpilot so our team can look into your report directly and address your concerns as accurately as possible.

If you prefer, you can also contact our Customer Support team at 877-564-3003 or by email at [email protected]. Our team is available Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET). Holiday hours may vary.

Dear Jules,

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear the information you received did not meet your expectations. We work hard to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information we provide, but we cannot guarantee it will be 100% accurate or complete. Shared names or similar identifiers can occasionally result in mismatched data.

Public record information can also contain errors, as source data may be entered or reported inaccurately, processed incorrectly, or otherwise incomplete. Because of this, we always recommend independently verifying any information before relying on it.

We’ve requested additional details through Trustpilot so we can better assist you and take a closer look at your experience. If you need direct support in the meantime, you can reach Instant Checkmate at 877-564-3003, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET). Holiday hours may vary.

**Updated Response**

Dear Jules,

Thank you for providing the additional information. After reviewing your account and the notes from your recent call, it appears no concerns about inaccurate information were mentioned at that time. However, we understand why you reached out through your review, and we’re happy to offer clarification.

As noted previously, we do not have access to 100% accurate or fully comprehensive data. Public record information can contain inaccuracies due to how it is originally reported, entered, or maintained by the source agencies. Additionally, shared names or limited identifiers can sometimes cause unrelated information to appear in search results. Because of these inherent limitations, we always recommend independently verifying any details before relying on them.

We’ve also sent a follow-up email so you can contact us directly if you have questions about how search results are generated or if you need help understanding how to refine searches for more accurate outcomes.

If you’d prefer to speak with someone, our team is available at 877-564-3003, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. ET); holiday hours may vary.

This company had very limited information on the subject and tried to bait and switch me from a single report I requested to a subscription price. They charged me, however I was able to dispute them, and I am still disputing them. Stay away!

We apologize for any difficulty you had in finding the information you needed. While we strive to keep our reports as current and comprehensive as possible, there are times when data may be incomplete or inaccurate due to the nature of public records and the limitations of our data sources.

Please note that during the sign-up process, Instant Checkmate does not state that a person has specific records. The system simply indicates that we are searching through various public databases to locate any available information. Because these records originate from third-party and government sources, occasional inaccuracies or missing data can occur.

Hi Vickie,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the report didn’t meet your expectations and that you had difficulty locating the information you were looking for. We understand how disappointing that can be and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Instant Checkmate works with trusted data providers to compile information from public records.

Additionally, similar names or identifiers can sometimes result in mismatched or incomplete results.

To help improve accuracy, we encourage using the “Refine My Search” option after an initial lookup. Entering more specific details — such as age or location — can help better isolate the correct report.

We truly value feedback from customers like you, as it helps us continue improving our service.

I was issued a refund.

I wish I would have checked Trustpilot first. If I could give Instant Checkmate 0 stars I would!! It's a scam! The person I was looking into has been arrested numerous times and married 5 or more times. They made it sound like, if I paid, they would provide all the documents I was searching for. One of the links provided no longer exists. It's a total scam and I will be contacting my bank to get my money back!! Run!!

UPDATE: On Saturday , June 14th, I contacted their support by email and I received an email back saying that the email address that they provided doesn't exist. Scam! Scam! Scam!

Hidden Subscriptions - No empathy for their victims

Highly disapointed with our experience. My father is an older gentleman and somehow signed up for a subscription for this without meaning to. He was simply looking for photos of one of his cousins who had recently passed away. He never received any reports but has been charged for 3 months of reports and another fee for a subscription for downloads. Another example of a company trying to slip in monthly subscription costs and in this case two of them! We called and pleaded for them to refund the charges and the agent stated this was their company policy and that they did not make allowances, they would only refund the charges from this last cycle. We asked to speak with a manager and she said again we would get the same answer. Not making it very clear that someone is signing up for a subscription is a sad and deceitful practice that has become way to common in todays world. Not making allowances or showing compassion for those who are no longer in the workforce and trying to enjoy their retirement on their set incomes really just speaks volumes. Maybe instant checkmate provides a good service for some people, I can't speak to that but their lack of compassion and lack of desire to do the right thing (or maybe they just don't know that is)....I certaintly would not want anything to do with them and will not support their business in any way.

Hi Liz,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your father's experience, and we completely understand how upsetting unexpected charges can be—especially for seniors and those on a fixed income. Your concerns are valid, and we appreciate the opportunity to address them.

Instant Checkmate’s subscription model, including any optional features such as downloadable reports, is designed to be transparent. All key terms—like recurring billing details, renewal frequency, and plan options—are clearly displayed during the sign-up process in accordance with consumer protection laws. Customers are required to agree to these terms before completing a purchase, and confirmation emails are sent to outline subscription details.

That said, we never want anyone—especially older adults navigating online services—to feel confused or unsupported. We're truly sorry if your experience left you feeling this way.

We’ve attempted to locate the account based on the information in your review but were unable to do so. We have also reached out to you directly via email to request a few additional details so we can fully investigate and assist you further. We hope to hear back soon so we can help resolve this matter.

The phony reply to this review (also sent by email) is not applicable to Europeans, the email verification they demand leads you to another tracking site, and their 1-800-service is NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE U.S. - Unbeliebably horrendous level of "service". Luckily, the French data security org CNIL is already on their case.)

This data harvester pretends to let you opt out easily. That is a LIE! You can only do so for an email address, but not by name. They stole my data that were produced when buying a cell phone in the U.S. in 2007 - but I am a European citizen living in France! Shows you (a) the "accuracy" of their database, and (b) how the hack am I supposed to remember what long-since-dead email I provided 18 years ago! And now *I* should go through the trouble of calling their 1-800 number (which is NOT tollfree for me!) at THEIR business hours? What kind of crappy "customer service" is that? Their phony, prefab reply to my review is just indicative of the kind of dubious outfit Instant Checkmate is. And now they keep pushing and pushing for my full and current information. The French data protection watchdog CNIL is informed and Instant Checkmate may look forward to a hefty fine.

Encore une entreprise américaine méprisable de collecte de données qui publie des informations personnelles en ligne sans consentement. Je n’ai jamais été intéressé par leurs services, j’ai simplement découvert en cherchant mon nom sur Google que et mon nom et mes données y figuraient sans mon consentement. Peu leur importe que la personne soit protégée par les lois européennes sur la protection des données ou non. La fonctionnalité de désinscription ou de suppression des données est délibérément obscurcie et, même en réussissant à la trouver, le lien de "confirmation" vous redirige vers UN AUTRE site de suivi. Les demandes de suppression d'un nom et des données associées sont ignorées ; on ne peut "supprimer" qu'une adresse e-mail spécifique. Des escrocs, comme tous ces collecteurs de données qui pratiquent l'arnaque et le spam.

Another despicable American data harvesting company who is publishing personal information online without the person's consent. I never was interested in their services, I just happened to Google my name and found both my name and personal data included without my consent. They can't be bothered if the person is protected by European data privacy laws or not. The opt-out or data suppression functionality is deliberately obfuscated and even if working one's way through it, the "confirmation" link takes you through ANOTHER tracking site. Requests to delete a name and associated data are ignored, you can only "delete" a specific email address. Crooks all around, like all those scamming and spamming data harvesters.
