Have been using the service for at least a year now for the occasional report. Has ALWAYS worked flawlessly. Went on yesterday and got the Forbidden 403 error. I looked in my history and all my p... See more

Scam site. Paid $3 for a Carfax knowing it probably wasn't legit. "403 Forbidden" came up after it said the report was ready. Reported to Chase for fraud.

Paid and when I click view report it just says 403 Forbidden. This is a total scam and doesn't actually generate your report. Whats App help, no one had logged in since March. Chat - read my messag... See more

Apparently was OK until recently, not anymore

I saw a listing for the company on Reddit that was about 6 months old, but unfortunately didn't see the later postings in another section. I paid $6 for two tokens and when I tried to get my reports, I got a 403 page error every time across two different browsers. I learned this has happened to many other Reddit users. Trying to contact the company or their payment processor is a waste of time- no response or a non-working captcha, so I'll be filing chargeback.

SCAM

SCAM. Paid for a token and received a report that only showed "403 Forbidden". I wish I read the reviews before purchasing.

Fraud

Fraud. Purchased 10 tokens. The site searches and identifies the two various reports available and the number of records found for each report. Upon requesting one of the reports it responds that it is not available. Or, it will say that report is available, which is a pdf of "403 forbidden" There was no information produced for either on numerous occassions. Stay away and don't get taken.

They take your money

They take your money, but when you use a token to purchase a report the report cannot be accessed. You receive a 403 Forbidden Error

not recommend

Hi all!
We do not recommend the service!
We agreed with the owner to purchase the reports. You paid for your order in full. But it hasn't worked for 1.5 months now. No one can contact you via email or telegram!

This site is a scam

This site is a scam. Don’t waste your money. You buy a token it runs a report and then when you try to open it you get an error message. I trusted Trust Pilot which said this was legit. It wasn’t! Stay away!

Website used to work, now broken.

Website used to work, I used it multiple times, but it seems since April 10, 2024 it has stopped functioning. You can still buy tokens, they happily take your money. However, when you purchase a report, it just takes you to a '403 Forbidden' site. Reports bought before April 9 are still accessible though, at least for me. Guess it was good while it lasted.
