Intelius Background Check Class Action

Anyone providing a credit card or debit card information to Intelius (or other websites it owns or operates) between 7/2007 and 8/2013. Intelius sells background check and identify theft information. As well as traditional employer background checks, they also sell background checks for online dating (InteliSign).

You may opt for either

• $225, plus a voucher for $75 worth of Intelius services
• Three times (3 x) the amount you paid, plus a voucher equivalent to the amount you paid

Email address used to sign up for services. If making a claim for triple the amount paid, you also need to provide proof for the amount you paid.

It is alleged that people purchasing Intelius products were enrolled in membership programs that charged monthly fees (by a company called Adaptive Marketing LLC). For example, after purchasing something at Intelius, customers would be offered an opportunity to save $10 by partaking in a short survey … buried in the fine print what completing the survey actually meant was that they would find that they were now going to be charged $20 per month on their credit card which would continue until they noticed what was going on.
