Spokeo claims to offer a one-time lookup fee of $0.95, but my personal experience with the website has been quite different. When I used Spokeo to perform a search, I was indeed charged $0.95 for the initial lookup. However, to my surprise and frustration, I later discovered that Spokeo had also charged me $24.95 for a monthly subscription without my consent or knowledge.
I want to emphasize that I did not sign up for a monthly trial or agree to any recurring charges. I simply wanted to perform a one-time lookup for a specific purpose. Therefore, I feel that Spokeo’s billing practices are deceptive and misleading.
It is important to note that I did not use any of the monthly trial perks or benefits that come with the subscription. I was not interested in a monthly service; I only wanted a one-time lookup. I believe that Spokeo should have made it clear that by paying the initial $0.95 fee, I would be automatically enrolled in a monthly subscription.
I found this experience to be quite frustrating and disappointing. It is essential for companies to be transparent and honest about their pricing and billing practices. In this case, Spokeo’s claim of a one-time fee was not accurate, and I ended up being charged for a service I did not want or use.
Based on my personal experience, I would not consider Spokeo to be a one-time fee service. I would advise others to exercise caution when using this website and carefully review any terms and conditions to avoid unexpected charges or subscriptions.
