TruthFinder is a scam company pretending to sell background checks when they are actually stealing and selling YOUR information! I signed up for a background report on somebody. Before I even paid for the report, I started receiving hundreds of spam and scam emails every day about porn, foreign brides, drugs, bitcoins, and worse.

When I contacted TruthFinder, they informed me that the privacy policy on their website states basically states that they may give away my personal and private information to whomever they choose. They said I could "unsubscribe," but this is not the case. The damage is done, my private email address is now in the hands of spammers and scammers all over the world. There is no unsubscribing, that ship has sailed.

The one other time this nightmare happened to me it took around 40 hours to change my email address in the hundreds of places it's used. I bill $125 an hour for my time, so I make it around $6000 that I'm out of pocket thanks to TruthFinder.

After some background research, I believe they are running a scam. On their BBB page, the CEO listed is also the CEO of a nearby company named "The Control Group" which specializes in email marketing. Therefore I'm making the assumption that TruthFinder is not selling background checks at all, it's a front for stealing and selling email addresses and private information. They also own numerous other domains such as top4backgroundchecks . com/ and bakgroundchecks . org where they pretend to be a different company giving themselves good reviews. It’s pretty obvious because when you go to the privacy policy pages of these websites, they are all in San Diego, and all use the same language. VERY SHADY!!

What TruthFinder does not seem to have grasped, is just because you give yourself permission in a website policy to do something, does not make it legal. The FTC and BBB have been interested to hear about what they are up to.

Bottom line, do NOT trust this company.
