Thanks for the warning. I got an email from a family member today for the “service”. After reading several website about names database I have come to the conclusion that they are a bait and switch scammer. You give your info but get nothing in return unless you pay them.
-
your so right dude. i just checked it out. its all about attaining and selling your information. they have not contact details and not email, it basically is not human. its all about automatically gaining emails to spam. they’re f***ing criminals.
-
yes. they are junk people without giving any useful info.
even when u refer 3 people junk people say’existng’ or already sent’ etc. u can’t pass rthe first form itself.
really junk! -
Try entering random strings after you give them a fake email address (or one you’ve just created so you can watch the spam that builds from them and their associates). They’ll tell you that saidpsuf@oiuasdffdas.net.cn “Has already been told, please enter a new one.” They lie from the outset. SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SPAM.
-
I have signed up with this crowd and since signing up have not been able to access anything that was claimed. I think it is a major scam as even my queries have been ignored.
-
apparently namesdatabase has something to do with classmates.com, which is a useful (but $$) service.
I dunno. Namesdatabase requires you get a membership as well.
-
I got sucked in too! Now, how the heck can I get out? They have no options for deleting mmemberships
-
Is there any internet community that oversees on internet scams and can hear our voice , we can keep sending them about namesdatabase and shut that fu….g site down OR have the hosting service provided hold accountable to allow such scam site on their servers.
-
Names data base is a cheater site. First while becoming a member they wrote $1 a month and when i registered with my creditcard they cut $12 for 1 year saying this was the scheme. To add oil to fire, they autoupdated my membership further in next year without intimating me and inspite of my many mails not to continue membership, they forcefully cut charges from my card.
Such sites are to be exposed in the web world. Dhruv -
They just took 12.00 out of my account,I have no idea who these people are.Now I am going to have to get a new bank account,pisses me off.

Yes, my husband had joined Classmates and I was emailing
people through his account. I sometimes google myself
on search to see what comes up. All of a sudden, I see
my name for names database.com so I went to their site.
It had my full name and where I went to school and what
year I graduated. It said Referred by Cecilia Luna (it
actually had her full name) which is strange because she
has been gone for 2 years! The only way they could have
known is through Classmates as I had a Memorial for her
on there. Classmates emailed me and said they are with
names database.com. To use my best friend who has passed
to try to get me to join names database is tasteless and
terrible. My husband has cancelled his membership with
Classmates. I am very upset about it.-
This site can go through your personal credit cards without giving the informations to them. You’ll be charged of something you never expected to have. Be careful.

Thank you very much. I’m glad I did some research on Google before actually entering sensitive information on namesdatabase.com. On the surface, everything looks so legitimate — the site even proclaims a membership of 33 million. That puts it in Facebook and Skype territory, with 30-40 million active members, depending on which research report you choose to believe. It’s unbelievable hubris. This phishing site uses the fact that they’ve scammed 33 million people as a selling point!

Can anyone tell me the phone number for the names database? I got on with classmates.com and now even though I quit in writing, they just took $12 from my checking account. Thanks.

I just had the same thing happen to me and there’s no way I have found to contact them. I want to dispute their charge. Please let me know if you have resolved this and how. THank you!
-
They are taking an annual amount off my card and I am having trouble getting them to stop !! Here is the phone number my credit card co. gave me 1-866-395-4982 - but it is only a message saying contact them at: questions@namesdatabase.com.
Good luck,
Liam

I’m in the process of cancelling membersip with them at the moment. It is a definite scam for sure. There is no way to phone or email them through their support section. The only way is by a riciculous automated email that they won’t even respond to, to confirm your accounts cancellation.
WARNING: IF YOU ENTER YOUR CARD DETAILS, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO CHARGE YOU $12 A YEAR FOR EVER …. UNTIL YOU CAN SOMEHOW GET YOUR BANK TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF IT WHICH IS NOT EASY.
They have the ability to do this by clause 6 in their terms, so unless you read it closely you will be screwed over, as i was and am still for the last 6 years.
I’m in the process via my bank at the moment…. The Names Database or Opobox Inc as I’ve seen them referred to aren’t even listed on the phonebook… someone should go knock on their door in Seattle!!!
Anyay, I’m furious with them, it’ll sort out soon, cheers andoc

I was scammed too!!
They have been debiting my account for 3 years and its impossible to contact them as well as to cancel your subscription.
This is ridiculous!! Imagine how rich someone is getting off all our money anually???
-
The same exact thing has been going on with me for 3 years. I am currently disputing the $12 charges with my bank. Hopefully they can get somewhere with all this. I think we should ALL call our local news channels under the “SCAMS” and definitely mention that they are affiliated with Classmates. com. I bet we will get a response then.
-
I have been affected by their scam. My account has been debited without my permission. This sucks!!! The people behind this scam should be made accountable.
-
I too have been scammed by them. They have been debiting my account for years since there is no number to call to get them to stop. I did FINALLY get them to stop though. My husband actually sent an email to them with all of our phone numbers listed so they can call us back, and they did….
