Packs a punch I took out a free membership to look for a long lost friend, and OMG, this thing is incredibly powerful (if a little weird), leading me straight to them with a (common) name and age. The amount of info is downright spooky. It's not cheap, and it's true that it charges for all sort of 'extras' which it draws you into - I guess it depends on what info you want. The refund for the free trial was completely hassle free.

I purchased a subscription only to be lied to I purchased a subscription of Truthfinder to get background on a potential employee. It told me that this guy had no criminal charges... turns out that he's been arrested and in prison many times for violent crimes. DO BETTER TRUTHFINDER!!!! HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND USING TRUTHFINDER IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT SOMEONE.

"Data Collection Finder" Some data collection, not always up to date, truth finder might not be a good name. More like "on line data finder." Information would be hard to prove as "truth". Just because someone puts information on a online resume or a linked in account doesn't mean it's "truth". I find the criminal information is somewhat helpful.

Scam Scam There is no free report of any sort. You can go through the entire search process, which is very lurid. It kind of gives it away, that it is not a truth or fact searching instrument, but rather a money maker. I was acutally trying to find possible criminal history of a client of mine, but again, no such thing as searching for facts just for the facts sake. At the very end of the search process you will have to give out your credit card information for payment. No report without this.

Lookout for the sting It's only after locating the person you are seeking and going through 20 minutes of downloads that you are hit with the cost of subscribing to the program. Don't use it unless you are prepared to pay!
