This was clickbait. During the process checkmate made it seem there was more like bad photos that had to be 18 to view for example. Several times saying profile may be hard to view whats in it. Cli... Mehr ansehen

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.

They are the wrost place that does background checks I've ever seen on a person they have places that I never lived before in my life they have judgements that I never received as long as I lived in my hometown where do you get this information from. I already talked you about this you or the government can't keep account of my whereabouts in the US unless I'm a criminal and I'm not a criminal. I'm law abiding citizen. Like I said before. The information is wrong and take it down or suppress it until you get it right.Their are a lot Sonia at time my name was Andrews now it's Ellis . If the government know so much then they also know that I got married in June of 2024 where's the record on that.you even had people that wasn't relivatives on my background check not even my friends I associate with church people my husband was Charles Morrell in 1987 he died in 2017

The information included was so incredibly inaccurate the report was unusable.

I just spent $29.95 on a single report on a man in Los Angeles. It gave me the correct info as for his address and educational info. I felt like money worth spent. Thank you. instancheckmate.com!!!

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!

Antwort von Instant Checkmate
Hi I just joined and they gave me bait telling person has a record and this and that amongst other tactics to get you to register but all of it wasn’t even in the report itself and isn’t even there or true for that matter as they said in the report nothing could be found!! I could have researched what they found on the internet myself, my advice don’t buy into it!

Antwort von Instant Checkmate
They use sleazy sales tactics and click bait language to get you to buy their reports. You have to go through pages of loading screens all for them to deny you access unless you pay them. Don't bother

Antwort von Instant Checkmate
Everything I was looking for said it was unavailable. I was able to find it on other sites. This site is a terrible waste of money. I should have checked reviews before I purchased it.

Antwort von Instant Checkmate
The usual complaint: canceled service before expiration of trial. Was then charged $35/mo for a service I did not use.

Antwort von Instant Checkmate
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!
UPDATE: On Monday, June 18th, I was contacted by customer service and I was given a refund. I appreciate the refund so my review will reflect that.

Intentionally leaving my data up, susceptible and culpable for legal action I will be reporting to the police the Attorney General and better disappear for this companies, illegal activity to continuously publishing my data after I have been told to them that it must cease and stop due to threats and concerning criminal activity. They are capable for actions and this is absolutely disgusting how this company is electric conduct business

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.

Avis en FRANÇAIS, followed by a review in English:
-----------------
(3/29/2025: update in English only)
(4/11/2025: update to the update - these relentless spammers just won't quit. 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.
