Dear forum members,

I own propertyrecordlookup.com. I am sorry to hear that the customer filing the initial complaint was dissatisfied.

Our customer support team is available 24 X 7 by phone, text or live chat and has been instructed to gladly issue a refund to any dissatisfied customers on request. Simply call 866-748-9526.

If you visit http://www.propertyrecordlookup.com you will see various ways to contact us as well as our physical address on the bottom of the homepage:

2945 Townsgate Rd. Suite 200
Westlake Village, CA 91361
Call Toll Free - US: 1-866-748-9526

We stand by the quality of the data we aggregate in our reports which are sourced from leading providers like Lexis Nexis and Zillow. It should be noted that our service is marketed to and covers US addresses only.

This is the first time that the entry of fake addresses for testing purposes has come up. Admittedly, we assume that the users will enter a valid address. We have data that covers 99% of US addresses. The trouble is we have to pay for each full report that is queried...so we want our $1.00 before we ask our data providers about the address.

Based on the concerns outlined in this thread, we will be adding a layer that runs a quick check to see if the address is, in fact, a valid US address prior to collecting any fees and running the actual report.

We hope that this information helps to assuage any concerns. I will check back on this forum to see if any additional issues can be addressed. Thank you.

Sincerely - Chris

Caveat Emptor

This scam has been discussed> on the Rip-Off reports. A victim disputed the charges and was able to get his credit card company to do a three way call with "customer service". It turns out that the service and several others are owned by HomeValue.US.Org. The charges were reversed. However several other reps, including "David Wilson" and "Karmen Jones" have been answering consumer complaints on line.

The WhoIs reported that the domain was owned by Shwetha Bagla of Orange Cube. There is at least three sites operating in the same fashion.However, a WhoIs on the parent shows it was edited 9/2013, but has Privacy Protection. That in itself is suspicious-why hide the domain info?

Karmen Jones Government Action:

Government ActionsThe following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has concluded a law enforcement action against the above company alleging the company received more than $450 million from consumers by luring them into "free" or "risk-free" offers. Consumers were then charged for products or services they did not want or agree to purchase. As part of its ongoing efforts to stamp out online fraud, FTC seeks to stop the operation's illegal practices and make the defendants repay affected consumers." "According to FTC's complaint, the companies used deceptive tactics in offering "free trials" for various online products, including acai berry weight loss pills, teeth whiteners, health supplements, work at home schemes, free credit reports and penny auctions.""According to FTC, the companies obtained consumers' credit or debit card account numbers by promising they would only pay small shipping and handling fees and also promised phony "bonus" offers for signing up. Consumers had no reason to believe they would be charged for the trial product or extra bonus products, but they were often charged for the "free" trial and monthly recurring fees. Although the defendants offered a money-back guarantee, consumers were often unsuccessful in canceling the charges or obtaining refunds and the process involved time-consuming phone calls and other steps that made the deals far from risk free.""The FTC further alleged that the defendants provided merchant banks with false or misleading information, in order to acquire and maintain credit and debit card processing services from the banks in the face of mounting chargeback rates and consumer complaints. The companies also allegedly violated the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E (issued by the Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors) by debiting consumers' bank accounts without their signed written consent and without providing consumers with a copy of the written authorization."The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The FTC has ordered the companies, owners and participants to cease operating in ways that violate consumer rights and the law.The entire FTC Judgement and Order can be found at the link below.http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1023012/ - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/edmonton/business-re ...

According to the article:

His major ventures today provide consumers with driving records, criminal records, and vehicle-history reports (just as Carfax does) across dozens of different pages, notably carhistory.us.org, dmv.us.org, vehiclehistory.com, and vehiclehistoryrecord.com. In fact, anyone looking for these services would have a hard time avoiding him: as of November, if you searched vehicle history on Google, Yahoo, or Bing, ads for Willms’s sites were among the first things you would see. By the looks of it, Willms offers a terrific deal—just $1 for a vehicle-history report, compared with $39.99 for one from Carfax. Because of this, Willms’s lawyer claims that the sites have received “several hundred thousand positive comments related to the product.”

When I looked into the sites, however, I also found hundreds of online reviews accusing them of being scams. In many of these reviews, customers complained of looking through their credit-card statements to find that, instead of being charged $1 for their report, they were charged for what turned out to be a “volume discount” subscription program that gave them 25 reports a month (you know, for those of us who like to query the history of our own cars nearly every day) for anywhere between $119.40 and $199.50, billed out over the course of a year. None of the customers seemed to have had any clue they’d signed up for this, and most reported difficulty getting their money back. “I got my refund ONLY after filing a complaint with the BBB,” one wrote. (Willms’s lawyer said that rates of refunded charges remain low, that the company has made “substantial efforts to improve customer satisfaction,” and that it “provides an immediate refund to any unsatisfied customers.”)
