Let me start by saying, if you're looking for legitimate background information, STAY AWAY from BeenVerified. It's a classic bait-and-switch trap designed to squeeze $30 out of you for practically nothing.

The Bait: You enter a name, hopeful for insights on a potential roommate, long-lost relative, or whoever piques your curiosity. The search bar promises "Free People Search Instantly!" and "Access Public Records." Sounds great, right?

The Switch: You navigate through a series of tantalizing prompts, each page hinting at juicy details just beyond your fingertips. Phone numbers? Addresses? Criminal records? BeenVerified teases it all, like a cat dangling a string in front of a desperate mouse.

The Sting: Finally, after 20 minutes of navigating this labyrinth of false promises, you're hit with the real cost: $29.95 for a single report. Shocking, right? All those "free" hints were just an elaborate setup to make you feel like you've already invested time and effort, so you cave and pay.

The Result: And what do you get for your $30? A mediocre report, often with outdated or incomplete information. You could probably gather more accurate details from a quick Google search and a friendly chat with your neighbor.

Beyond the Financial Sting:

Deceptive Marketing: The entire "free" search is a misleading charade. Their tactics prey on curiosity and urgency, leaving a bad taste in your mouth.
Privacy Concerns: Sharing someone's name on BeenVerified opens up a whole can of privacy worms. Are you sure you have the right to access this information?
Misinformation: The accuracy of the reports is questionable at best. You could be basing important decisions on unreliable data.
Instead of BeenVerified:

Free alternatives: Public records are often readily available through government websites and directories. Do some digging, you might be surprised what you find.
Reputable services: If you require a more comprehensive background check, consider licensed investigators or reputable consumer reporting agencies.
In conclusion, BeenVerified is a sham. Save your money, protect your privacy, and avoid this online headache.

The green / red colors on the products list are very great idea. Helped me to make the best choice between identical products and saved me a lot of time reading many comments and compare products one with another.
Thanks a lot and keep the excellent work!
