Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This company has no data to offer. After going as far as I could with a free site, I signed up for this and paid $29,95. I cannot even find records on people like my late father for whom I have all relevant dates. What a rip-off, I e-mailed them and tried to cancel my membership and got nothing but an e-mail back promising further useless help.-

I agree. I also lost $30 and have yet to even find my own name in their people search. It's amazing what people will do for a buck. I hope they choke on it!

Recordsarea.c0m problems
I was charged 39.00 and then I called back and asked to cancel.
I emailed over and over again - nothing!

After emailing 10 or so times I decided to call by phone but they have no number and no way to contact except by email - internet. So, then i looked on the clickbank and found a direct phone and called them; they were helpful and did refund my money. I called them Direct: at [protected]. Hope this helps someone.

I filled out order and before touching the "CONFIRM YOUR ORDER" button, I decided I better google the company to make sure they were legit. I read the reviews above and was shocked. I cancelled out of the screen, but then 2 seconds later I received a receipt for my order. Discover card told me to call them at [protected] and try to get it reversed. I did get it reversed. The represenative said that the order was placed before the confirmation page, you can't close or use back arrow, becuase the order has already been processed. So really the confirmation button is just a joke.

when getting this site is looks as if your getting a different site, http://govvitalrecord.com/ then it comes up after all is said and done as recordsarea.com. you look for something, to start with that you know the info to, what do you get, nadda. You look up birth or death records and you get a picture that tells you how many there are in that area, but thats it, you can't see the ones that are in the area.I found that too look up a name you have to type in some of the name to get all names that start with that combo, but never what you want.they need to have a list of True sites that can be used. that way people can look, should have known better .

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".
I will be reporting this web site to the State of Maine Consumer Credit Bureau ASAP 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 did a search for a site that would help find military records. Recordsarea.com came up and claimed to be able to find any type of public record, such as death, marriage, criminal, military, etc... They claimed to be the most used website for those types of searches. There was of $20.00 fee for which I paid with my credit card. I wasn't able to find anything. Then I purposely searched for records that I was absolutely positive of existing. Such as my birth record and my marriage record. No results for any search I tried. And the site does not give an option to contact them with any problems or questions.

This site is definitely a scam and should be shut down!

I bought a product from this company on- line tonight, my first and last purchase on the internet. Since purchasing online records services from these "persons" I have discovered that they do not have anymore access to public records than I do. They are supposed to be a service that puts you in touch with personal records of other people, criminal records, marriage, divorces etc. Not only could they not provide information that is readily available in the phone book they could not seem to find my country, Canada. This episode has caused me to cancel my credit card, and will eat up my day tomorrow begging Clickbank not to take my money. This lesson may cost me just under $60.00 but a lesson I didn't want to learn. I did, however discover many websites about fraudulent companies and a long list of people who have had the same experience as I did with RecordsArea.com. By the way their webpage is not available at this time. I will be sure to put the complaints website under my favorites, as there seems to be a lot of fraud out there. I will keep you posted about my experience with Clickbank. Laur

There is something grossly wrong with this web site. it starts out as though it was official government type of information then when they get your money even the name of the website changes. very misleading and there is no follow through on any of the information you are suppose to receive. you just get an almost blank page that lets you know that there is no information for that site. a terrible thing to do to people like myself who just lost a child and was trying to look up the death certificate.

I WAS LED TO BELIEVE I WOULD GAIN ACCESS TO A WEB SITE FOR 5 YEARS FOR A ONE TIME COST OF $23.95. WHEN I REGISTERED AND FILLED OUT THE FORM THE COST JUMPED UP TO $43.95. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE SITE WAS ALL A LIE. I'M ESPECIALLY MAD BECAUSE A TRUSTING FRIEND LET ME USE HER VISA DEBIT CARD. NOW I'VE GOT TO EXPLAIN WE HAVN'T ANYTHING FOR OUR MONEY, AND SOMEONE RUNNING A SCAM LIKE THIS HAS HER CARD INFO. I WANT PAYMENT IN FULL REPLACED TO HER CARD IMMEDIATLY.
THANK YOU,
