PhoneNumberScan.com ripoff fraudulent advertising failure to provide service promised Internet

I received phone calls from an anonymous source, so I went online to finda reverse telephone directory. As I suspected, the calls originated from a cell phone--I could even identify the city the anonymous caller's service was in by the phone number itself. As a result, I would have to use a pay service to find the identity of the caller.

I looked at several companies online, but when I entered the phone number into the home page of PhoneNumberScan.com, it brought up a preliminary report screen indicating that the caller's name and address WERE available and WOULD be on the final report, after I paid $19.95 to become a "member." Though I had a bad feeling about it (ALWAYS go with your gut instinct), I went ahead and gave my credit card number and paid the $19.95.

I was subsequently given a final report on the anonymous caller. It, in fact, did NOT contain the caller's name or address--merely some technical information about which I did not care nor did I need.

Since my $19.95 covered unlimited use for a year, I plugged in a land line which I know is listed in the phone book. Although, again, it promised a name and address, along with technical information I did not need, PhoneNumberScan.com once again did not list the name and/or address of the owner of that phone number.

I read the Terms and the FAQ's, and unless I missed something, there is not a clause or line of fine print that says they will promise information and then not deliver. I have wasted $19.95. DO NOT USE PHONENUMBERSCAN.COM (it ought to be called PhoneNumberSCAM.com).
