Please make them stop. I have no idea how much they have already taken!

I don't have a company this person has took my name and got things and uses it and can you help me by telling me what to do about this person

since july of this year i have been getting these emails, i happened to open one only to find that it was a phishing scam. now paypal is going to charge my credit card 129.15 stating that i authorized this. I will sue this company big time if my credit card is charged. I also blame paypal for this. they never contacted me on such charge, who are these people?

I have no idea what this is and I certainly didn't authorize any credit card. Mainly due to the fact I don't have a credit card! Someone needs to find out what is going on. I don't even have a pay pal account. I keep getting emails about charges and it will not allow me to dispute them. I wouldn't pay to research anyone Hell, I try to get away from the people I know now!

I clicked onto a message from paypal.com and told i had just bought product # 922-116 for 19.95 and it would be charged to my credit card. How is this legal? You can't charge for something just by opening an email!

I did not authorize this, and if it is charged to me i will contact authorities!

I gave am credit card information to ResearchAnyone.com
Afterwhich, I could not lon on. When I asked for help through email, I got no help. The continued to give me information that didn't work. Don't use this company. I believe they are fraudulent.

P.Yvonne Jones

It's probably some sort of phishing scam, trying to trick people into giving info about their Paypal accounts. If you don't even have a PP account, then you've got nothing to worry about.

I did not purchase anything from this company and did not authorize any payments to them!

Charge on my paypal account I didn't agree to

I used my paypal to do background check and now I can't get on the website.

My paypal account was charged 89.15 for software i never ordered

I did not authorize any transaction with this company.

The website does not do anything it says it does. They do not refund money as gauranteed either.

BIG SCAM!
NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!
NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!
NO REFUND!

I am also receiving e-mails for this name. Maybe all the complaints will end it. Maybe...

I've also gotten these. It pissed me off, but I just delete now.

It just reminds me there is no "free" email accounts. MSN & Hotmail provide you with "Free" email, so they can turn around and sell your information without your consent, knowledge and without paying you for it. The end result ultimately is that you get spammed, spoofed and scammed or targeted without even realizing it or without necessarily accessing questionable sites to get on their hit list.

The internet is not what we think it is. We are all sitting ducks when we go online to the right hacker or scammer.

Thanks for your response, but it still does work swanapp@msn.com & pass word

Emory Swan

I purchased this @ 19.95 on 10-14-09 have user name and pass word, but can't get into the site.

e-mail swanapp@msn.com

Emory Swan

Dispute all of the charges on your credit or debit card. It's all FRAUD.

Okay...I guess I'm just another one to add to the pot. Got the same email also. I also called PayPal and was told not to worry about it. As a matter of fact, the customer service rep kept referring me to "Mr." when I am in fact a woman. Scew you Nancy whoever you are. I did'nt have the funds on my credit card anyway. Folks, this is some real "[censored]itgee"

The people from "Researchanyone.com" are the ones driving us insane with the emails. They just want people to buy the service they are offering in their website. Don't fall for it. The complaints should be against them not against that Nancy lady that pobably doesn't exist.

These e-mails are coming to me too. They've been comeing to me for some time. I just thought it was just someone trying to get my information so I did nothing. This time I get a receipt for a purchase I never made. Is this person really just using our e-mail? Or do they really have all our information?
I'm so worried :(

I to having getting these annoying emails and this name Nancy l cornell keeps poppoing up in my emails, and its gettign frusturating, I want it to stop
I agree. I received an email this morning with "Researchanyone.com" as the charge to my PayPal account, and i never purchased anything from them. Called PayPal and reported it. But they are not doing anything about, this should be reported to the police or the cia

I see I’m not the only one getting these bogus e-mails. Pay Pal doesn’t seem too concerned. They just return a ‘canned’ response, but what the f*** are they doing? I have even contacted the AG in my state and all they say is “Don’t respond to the e-mail!”. Why can’t Pay Pal figure out where these are coming from and do something to block them or stop ResearchAnyone from using there service.

Hi
I just got the email too, so I emailed Researchanyone.com. This is their repsonse

"Hi Steve
The email you are getting is not affiliated with our company. Someone is sending out emails claiming they have charge the Paypal with $1xx.xx amount. If you see this email do not click on any links within the email. The link is trying to steal your Paypal pssword and username. Our website has a paypal buy it now button which is pre-set to $19.95 and changes cannot be made. The only amount you can make to our company is $19.95. Whatever other amount you see in an email is wrong and fake. When you receive emails as these, if you check who sent it to you, you will notice it is not directly from PayPal. They are pretending to be from Paypal but of course they are not. Do not fall for this and again please do not click on any links in the e-mail."

Hope this helps

This email did NOT come from PayPal - it is a phishing scam. They don't get your information BEFORE the fact. They're hoping you'll respond to their email.

The purpose is to get you to click the "Dispute Charge" button or send them an email response. Click the Dispute Charge button, and Spyware is loaded onto your computer.

Within seconds, they can retrieve all your private information from the hard drive, and access your IP address. Then they wait for you to make an online financial transactions - and they get your account numbers and passwords.

Email a response back, and you can bet - the email isn't going to PayPal. Again, you're leaving yourself wide open for trouble.

What do I do if I get one of these emails?

1) Delete ALL ambiguous email. If your name (Dear NAME) isn't on it, it's 99.44% phishing scam.

2) PayPal email: Forward a copy of the email to their Fraud Division. The real PayPal website will have an email address to forward to. They respond promptly.

3) Hit the Reply button for the suspicious email - but DON'T REPLY. Compare the "TO" Address on your new email with the address they used to Send the email. More likely than not, the two email addresses WILL NOT MATCH.

4) If you've responded to the suspicious email: Use a reputable program to Search and Destroy the Spyware. If you're unsure, visit your local computer store. The Computer Geeks at Best Buy should be able to remove any harmful files and tracking cookies.
Good luck!

I am not associated with PayPal and certainly didn't authorize any purchases with or thru them. I am associated with "PayDotCom" but that is not the same people.

I get them all the time. I do not understand why Pay Pal cannot do anything. I will not use my account until this is closed. I just blocked them from my e-mail

It is tiring to say the least.

I also received an e-mail from Pay-Pal stating that $189.95 would
be coming out of my account. The company: Research Anyone
ID#20433666FG486722N
Item#922-116
Buyer: John Angels
I am reporting this to Pay Pal and will probably cancel my
account.

You both recieved a phishing scam email from someone trying to steal your paypal account information. Paypal nor ResearchAnyone.com has anything to do with this email, and neither one of them charged you anything.

I received a similar email and I get them on a regular basis . DO NOT click on the links in the email and provide any information because you will get taken to the cleaners if you do. If you feel it is a legitimate email, open up a browser window and login to your paypal account to verify.

I received a disturbing E-mail stating I used Pay Pal to purchase a pp 344 for $ 189.95. which I did not and don't even know what it is, I'm going to cancel my pay pal account due to similar problems weekly.

I am complaining because I do not use Pay Pal and do not wish to use it.

Buyer John Angels

I did not authorize this purchase and do not use Pay Pal to pay anything.
I have reported this transaction to Pay Pal and to the US Government.

I disagree with these postings. I signed up with this site and found a lot of info about my former roomate that i never knew existed.

Yes, there were some resources in the members area that cost more money to use. But it did say this on their site and it is the same with GovRecords, NetDetective, PeopleSearch, etc. At least ResearchAnyone was cheap!

I was able to verfiy his social, pull a credit report, and background info with his criminal records from their members area for free. Perhaps you guys didn't take time to look. There are many pages of resources in their members section. It took me some time to navigate but eventually i found it was WELL WORTH IT! A lot better than those other JUNK sites...

I also wish that I would have read all this before I paid for this site. It only took me about 10 minutes to realize that they were only sending me to other links that cost more money.! Do not waste your time or money with ResearchAnyone.com.

I wish I had read all this before I paid for this site - (within an hour ago). I used to have Net Detective and although that's not the greatest, it's 150 percent better than this one -

I think that this company is a total ripoff. Shame on PayPal for not standing behind there customers and cancell the invoices. These are the types of companies that make the internet have such a bad name and make people like us, back away from doing business with such.

Very, Very Dissatisfied, and please no one else make the same mistake.

(BUYER BEWARE) (BUYER BEWARE) (BUYER BEWARE)

This guy says that ResearchAnyone.com offers no customer service, yet he states he wrote to them and they responded. Not all of the resources in the members area cost more as he implies. Also, he forgot to mention, as clearly stated on the "WHY US" page, there are fee based resources that are optional to use, you don't have to. There are plenty of free resources if you take time to look. As anyone knows, Paypal is a major credit card processor and has over 100 MILLION members worldwide and accepts all forms of payment and checks. You don't even have to be a member of Paypal to order from ResearchAnyone.com. Buyer also failed to mention he used the service and then tried to return something in which he already used and is a digital product, which we all know can't be returned, also failed to mention he only paid $19.95 for a lifetime membership.
ResearchAnyone.com is less than half the cost of all the other similar sites, and you do get unlimted self serve background checks by using the resources in their members area.

Clearly, what is stated above is nothing more than slanderous.

CIS is similar. They are a rip-off! You can find more info on people by taking your time and research the web. It is a shame that these companies are allowed to continue in this fashion.
