It's not often you come across a scam quite as simple and arrogant as Intelius.  I was interested in checking their background information services out, looked around on their site for a subscription to order, then "signed up for free".  

It wasn't a trial, they offered a lookup of info for free.  In return they asked you fill out your personal info including payment info. The company stressed there was no charge.  Totally free.

I sign in after supplying info and still find no membership offering so I go to their support to have them remove me from their database.  What I get was a shocking:

No.  Not until you prove you are who you are.

Wow!  That's outrageous.  What a complete bunch of dirtbags.

Hopefully I can attach a snapshot I took of the page.
