Complaint Review: InstaCheckMate

InstaCheckMate http://www.instantcheckmate.com Absolute SCAM, do not pay for this service. This company draws you in by making false claims to provide in-depth background checks on anything from marriage and divorce records to liens, to criminal records, to location addresses. However their initial fee just to obtain a name and DOB ,nothing more, is 22.99 . In order to actually obtain the info they bated you with, you have to pay another 19.99 + more fees. They are basically selling information you could obtain on your own via a little extra digging on the internet, Facebook, etc. Do not fall prey to this company. They are absolutely a SCAM!!! We paid over 60.00 to obtain information on a KNOWN felon who had DUI's, liens, and other information we sought in order to make a good decision regarding hiring this individual to do contracting work. InstaCheckMate is a worthless resource. Las Vegas Nevada

Absolutely A SCAM. Do NOT pay for this companies services. 

This company draws you in by making false claims to deliver various types of information as stated on their website: indepth background checks. marraige records, divorce records, location history addresses, criminal records, and more. 

To begins with they charge you a monthly fee of $22.90 (some odd cents) for just logging into their system. This will only get you information you most likely already have; name, DOB, possibly a phone number. That's it. If the info is even accurate is anyones guess.

This info is meant to BAIT you into paying yet another fee to actually obtain the information you signed up for in the 1st place. For another $19.99 and some other odd added fees... you get a few addresses (whether accruate or not) past residences. A possible lien. No criminal info. You'll et a list of possibles which have nothing to do with the person you are investigating. We've used Intellus before to do background checks on possible employees, contractors we were thinking about hiring and had pretty good sucess. The only reason we used this SCAM website was because it was highly rated. Well I am pretty sure that rating came directly from InstaCheckMate. Probably a website they put up to advertise and toute their own services as being better. No doubt. 

The person we were investigating had known DUI priors, liens, criminal felony convictions and tax evasion. Mutiple divorces, etc etc etc...... which we ended up finding by doing a little more digging on the internet ourselves. Took me 1/2 a day but didn't cost me a thing.

Do NOT fall prey to this company. Insta Check Mate is a major SCAM!! DO not wast your $$$. In the end I cancelled the services, less they continue charging me a monthly fee for a bit fat NOTTA DAM THING.

The customer service agent gave me some lame excuse as to why they can only provide certain information they glean from the internet. Well.... let me tell you... as a web savvy developer, who comes with a pretty good understanding on how search engines work..... this tells me their site, their search capabilities are slim to none. They've just managed to have a good (SCAM) marketing plan. Nothing more.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE..... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! They will not refund.. period!!!
