Online people finder services have become increasingly popular over the past few years. From finding long-lost relatives to getting the real scoop on people you meet, people finder websites can provide you with the services you need. In our quest to find the best people finder website the Internet had to offer we kept coming across the name "Intelius" time and time again. In fact, many of the people finder sites were powered by Intelius. It only made sense we check out the actual Intelius.com website for our people finder reviews. Here's what we discovered...

What is New?

Reverse cell phone searches available.
Search neighborhoods and addresses for criminals and sex offenders.
Promotional discounts for new club members and people that create a free Intelius account.

Our Favorite Feature:

What we liked the most about Intelius.com was the e-mail finder service. Want the email address of someone you used to know, but don't know where to start? Intelius has you covered.

The Intelius.com Experience:

Founded in January 2003 by a group of executives that specialized in computerized informational technology, Intelius.com has grown into a website that strategically specializes in background checks and people searches. Their searches include criminal checks, bankruptcies, small claims, property information, tax liens, judgments, licenses and and more!

The Intelius.com website was quick, simple, and fun to use. The website’s search engine was able to search through hundreds of people, using the person’s name, address, phone, email, or social security number.

We found the Intelius.com website is to be tasteful, user-friendly and it was very easy to get comprehensive information on anyone we were interested in finding or doing a bit of research on. Inellius is committed to expanding and pretty soon they'll be offering nanny checks and neighborhood watch services. As for the power of their searches, the fact that many of the best people finder websites on the Internet use Intelius to power their own searches speaks volumes about the company's accuracy.

We definitely think Intelius is a must-see site for anyone looking into people finder services on the Web.

Intelius.com Customer Service:

Customer service is available via phone Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. PST or by filling out a web form on the website. Intelius also offers a small, yet informative FAQ section. When we emailed our question in to the company we got an answer back the very next day. Phone support was quicker, answering our call in less than 60 seconds and providing us with detailed answers to the questions we had.

Upside:

Powerful search features, competitive pricing, great customer support.

Downside:

We felt the actual search features should have been filtered more – too many results were provided for many of the searches we performed.
