            Product Issues
            Status:
            Answered
            I attempted to sign up for and purchase a background check for my own past addresses history (as I am having trouble with the dates needed for a form I-130 for my wife). After I created an account on their site eknowid.com and attempted to purchase a address history check, I was directed to the payment screen where I gave my credit card information and was charged $15.However I did not receive any sort of confirmation nor did it ask me for the relevant information to perform a check, and when I called their customer support they said there was a "technical issue" on their end and that the order was not processed.However, while waiting today on a "call back" I never received I tried simply creating a new account to try again, and I couldn't even create a account properly or order anything because their website is so broken.It seems highly suspicious that their website design was to charge me before even filling out a proper order for a background check, that their customer service is mostly non responsive, and that their website is not usable (I was operating a iPhone 12 iOS Safari browser).This seems like a scam.

            Has an employee on staff by the name of *************************** that is using the background check system to doxx people online that she does not agree with. The company has been notified of this behavior and the issue has persisted. Trying to contact anyone within the company results in a call back and they have no contact numbers to any other department that can assist. This company is operating with shady business practices.

            This person continues to call ** annoynmously indicating hes been harassesed by an employee online. When we ask for information they provide nothing. We encourage them to contact their local authorities if they feel harassed. Not sure If this is a personal domestic quarrel but our business has nothing to do with his issue.
