RecordsArea.com review: Useless site! 221

Rip off. They don't even have access to records that are freely available to the public.

I wish i seen this before I signed up for that BS website!

after paying 19.99 for unlimited membership when I went to the record site to look up the info it directed me to another billing site as i had used up my credits I never got any farther than sending money I hope you rot in hell

It would not except none of the passwords i entered.

I was searching for my birth mother, I was told on the internet that adoption records could be found and they had a match for my birth mother, after paying the 29.95 it was a whole different story, I couldn't find any records at all, I couldn't even find any records on myself or any of my family. It is a rip off

I, too fell for this so-called company's offer for a "one-time charge of $39.95" for lifetime unlimited access to their "vast" database, which they describe as all-inclusive. And I also got NO results, even for names that should have without question been in the databases. I contacted my credit card company immediately and they will reverse the charge, but I also contacted ClickBank and told them the situation and suggested they check out the RecordsArea.com company (also known as Gov-Records.com). Cannot find a way to e-mail RecordsArea OR Gov-Records to tell them what I think!

Why doesn't someone stop these ###?!

CERTAINLY NOT AS ADVERTIZED, CONNECTING TO EAQUILLY USELESS AND EXPENSIVE SITES.

Same here. Today is July 10, 2008. I just got ripped off by recordsarea.com. Something needs to be done about these guys. Now I have to call the credit card company to cancel the card today.

Same situation, I placed the order $29.95, went searching and got nothing in return. No records were found.

I guess they just sit there and collect people's credit card info, charge it and God knows what else.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LOGIN ON AND I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE TRYING TO GET INTO THE WEB SITE. I PAID $ 50.00 AND I TOOK IT FROM MY HUSBAND ACCOUNT AND WHEN I GO IN THEY TELL ME TO PAY AGAIN, I DON'T THINK SO ? YOU ALL KEEP SENDING ME CODES AFTER CODES AND WHEN I TRY THEM THEY DON'T WORK, IF I CAN'T GET INTO THE WEB SITE BE 5;OO P, M. I AM GOING TO MY LAWYER AND SUE.

AGAIN OTHERE CONFIRMATION CODE ; I'LL BE DAM

To everyone who wrote a complaint a this site, THIS SITE IS A TOTAL RIP OFF!, they completly suck, you could get more information on someone by calling "411". $29.95 that I spent is totally wasted.

SORRY, SORRY SORRY DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I got a membership that was suppose to research your ancestors and it does ABSOLUTELY nothing. Everytime you enter a name it comes up no name found. No MATCHES. now they will not refund my money.

A complete scam! I searched for records that I knew should be available and got nothing.
This web site "company" lauded itself as being able to access numerous public records. It uses already "free" sites and nothing else, however it "sells" itself as being very thorough and comprehensive.
I paid $39.95 for "unlimited access".
SAP because it misrepresents itself, takes you credit card information and money for a product it does not produce.
When inquiry made about the lack of services that site was supposed to offer, no response.

I haven't been helped with any information.

I purchased a membership last night for $29.95 to search for an individual using a license plate number.
I have not received the information that I requested and when I continued to ask for assistance, I got no response. This is theft! Can someone help me?

within a few minutes of trying to find ANY information other than phone book info, I called my credit card company which said that you can wait until the charge posts, about 3 days, then call the credit card company and they will cancel payment if it is a fraudulant company. Good luck!

I paid my money in hopes of researching some individuals, they promised access to all types of records. I could not find myself, my son, my father in any of their searches. COMPLETE RIP-OFF, and they offer no easy access to cancell your account. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM!

This site is a total scam. I can't believe I fell for this and signed up for two years. I will protest the charge when it comes thru on the monthly statement.

I wish I had read this web site before I sent off my money. I have been charged two lots of £25.+ and I can't get any of my ancestors. Am I such an idiot?.

I agree. I wish I truly had googled this site beforehand (as my bank agent told me to do next time). I know that in the past I have found good sites like Intelisus that I have been able to use to find info. I called my bank immediately and had them put a stop payment on it. Also emailed the support at records area as well as click bank stating I am cancelling my account and also adding to click bank that I think that recordsarea is a scam site so hopefully click bank will drop them as a customer. although who knows about click bank...

I ditto every single one of the above complaints! It looked like a reputable site to me but I wish I had read the complaints first. I just joined an hour ago, and absolutely nothing I asked for came up. I "tried" it out by looking up the data on my own family members and relatives, and...NADA! This is definitely a fraudulent site and they should send refunds to everyone! I HATE it when this happens!

PAID MY MONEY AND GOT NOTHING AND NOANSWER FOR HELP ..THEY SHOULD BE INVESTEGATED...NOTHING BUT A SCAM

the first night I could not find anyone including myself the next night I could not access the program

if you join your supposed to be able to pull up records. it does not work its a complete ripoff.

I just joined records area. com and i have not been able to find out a thing about an american living in Ireland at this time. Any help on how to get my money back and do i need to cancel my credit card?

advertising, find your records, all catagories . false info. provides absoulutely nothing!, its all bull crap!

I just joined RecordsArea.Com yesterday, and am unable to access my own county. It's a rip off and I deserve a refund.

was told a one year membership was $14 when I signed up I was charged$39.Can't find any information.Please everyone who is not satisfied join me in filing a complaint with the Better Business bearu and The Attourney Genersl

I cant find any family memeber or friend i want to cancell my membershipand i want a refund or i will take u guys to court!

I also got nailed by these people. I'm a fairly intelligent guy but their website is so convincing that I signed up for it. Luckily, I have a very good relationship with American Express that they immediately returned the 29.95 these ### charged for their LACK OF SERVICE.

I'm going to start researching website from now on before signing up for ANYTHING! I suggest people do the same. I was a sucker but you live and learn!

This records search site is a complete fraud! Shame on me for not researching before I signed up. I am calling my bank and attorney today.

RecordsArea.com is a complete scam. When you input a name it will take you to another website to join. If you can get pass this scam. Once you attempt to scan records it will stop you and ask for 19.99 for unlimited daily scans. I was charged 39.99 and was offered this service for 19.99. It tells you at the top of the page you have 5 credits. underneath that you can purchase more credits. On the day I joined this website I never had access to my account. 2 weeks later I have tried to obtain information to no avail!

WENT TO SIGN UP FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AT GOV-RESOURCES.COM SIGNED UP TWO TIMES AND WHEN I WENT IN TO LOOK FOR BROTHER I FOUND ZERO LOOKED UP MY DECEASED BROTHER AND FOUND ZERO I WANT A FULL REFUND I WAS CHARGED FOR

Same sorry experience as everybody here. Got suckered in by what I thought was an official government web site (or a government sponsored website). I feel like an idiot; this is only the 2nd time I've been fooled on the internet (that's twice too many) but I contacted this company's bank clkbank.com at [protected] who say they will issue a full refund for the $39.95 of my so-called "lifetime" subscription. I did about 20 or so searches on people I knew and came up empty every time, and discovering in the process that I was burning through "credit points", after which I would have to pay for each search. I contacted company multiple times and got either no answer or absurd answers (asking me to reiterate my question while resending me my own words); their service stinks which is logical since this looks like a scam. The fellow at Clkbank told me they are a legitimate company but that their database is very limited. When I see how long the complaints stretch back in months, I am compelled to assume the worst since they are advertising under false pretenses, even offering a dry run on a name check and then telling you they found the information you're looking for but can't release until you subscribe; but once you've subscribe, they then inform you there is no information on that name. Talk about baiting the hook. Caveat Emptor.

This site is a fraud! "No data found" is the only response this site gives. No reply was given to my complaints. No offer of assistance. NOTHING!

I too was conned by RecordsArea.com . I asked for a refund and was offered extra search credits and one additional year subsription.What a joke! I input all information about a family member name, age, address, etc. only to find she did not exist.
A NOTE TO ALL! CONTACT ClickBank [protected] ) Thay are returning my money!
RecordsArea.com should be band from the internet!

I am on a very fixed income attempting to find out helth information about my biological mother. I have quite a bit of info on her and was totaly unable to obtain any information. I even upgraded! Than i put in my husbands death and he didnt even come up! RecordsArea should be charged with fraud! They are nothing but a scam! I will be much more careful when i chose this type of website next time! Elizabeth

Paid for 1 year unlimited membership $74.59. Once payment accepted, you cannot access date base via any link they provide - says, "Website not found."
THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT.

It's not allowing me to get the information I paid for.

After paying $29.95 no information was available. How can a site be allowed to do this? After realizing I had been ripped off, I started looking for complaints and found plenty of them.
