ContactOut Reviews 121

PLEASE NEVER EVER BUY FROM THEM. They are a scam !!!!!
1. No official address listen in google for someone to go to their google page.
2. They have unlimited email / phone number listed in their plan but again its a scam to take your money.
3. I had only used this for 2 DAYS after payment and they had the audacity to say i have finished my plan due to some term of "fair usage policy"
4. No specifics were provided on it, so whenever they feel you are using against "fair usage policy" they can shut you off/
5. No refund for the 28 days i did not use/
6. Support is either so DUMB or they are so understaffed, it takes 3 days for them to reply ONE EMAIL.
I have had a very bad experience, pls do not invest your time & energy into this.

Publishes personal data without consent

How and where have they got my information and like others say what happened to GDPR .
I have not agreed to any of this.
Not happy to have my details all over the Internet.

Publishing personal data without any consent. The process to remove your data seems quite complicated as you need to know the url of your profile (and guess what, to do that you need to create an account!). GDPR where are you?

Published my personal email that was only available to contacts on LinkedIn (deliberately so that it was only used by connections I had approved) and has never been available publicly
Can't imagine how many privacy laws they are breaking

Awful, unethical service. Used my personal information WITHOUT my consent and do not want to delete it!
For potential ContactOut clients: do you really think that your offers will successfully reach users, who are already annoyed by spam coming from ContactOut? For sure no. Please do not ruin your reputation and do not work with this service.
And for ContactOut once again: DELETE MY info from your service!

Me he buscado en internet y me he llevado una gran y desagradable sorpresa al verme en esta plataforma que tiene la osadía de publicar un supuesto perfil profesional mío e incluso un inconsistente análisis de personalidad. Aparecen mis correos electrónicos, a pesar de que estoy en la lista Robinson.
Les instó a que eliminen todos mis datos, además de perfil falso e inventado análisis de personalidad.

Everything that is wrong with personal data collection. Both the optout link and privacy notice link in the email sent to me didn't work (404 error on both). Opt-out process requires you to find the page on you which in some cases requires access to their platform (!). Support team were evasive and avoided answering most of the questions i had when i reached out.

A case study for GDPR / personal-data violations.

Fake advertising. Made it look like they had a telephone number but never showed it after signing up

I found this website when I googled myself. They seem to use 8 year old data from LinkedIn, generate some random statistics that is supposed to look trustworthy and also claimed to "know my telephone number". I know for a fact that *****278 is not my phone number and has never been so they are clearly just generating some random numbers to make people sign up.

Claimed to have the email address I needed but once I'd signed up, it turned out they had no idea.

why is there no zero star. how can someone publish information without user concent

I would give them zero stars if I could. Stats are totally made up.

Total fraudsters

They take people's information without their knowledge and sell it. You somehow appear to have an account with them that you cannot even delete!

Emailed me to say they're going to use/sell my data. Completely out of the blue. They provide an opt-out link but based on other reviews here I won't hold my breath.

Enabling Spam and illegal retention of people's data. I don't understand how a website like this is allowed to exist

Published a picture and personal contact details completely without my permission, soon as I realised, I tried their “opt out” option, they still didn’t remove them. Emailed them multiple times over an 8 month period repeatedly asking them to take it down, at first they said they would but did nothing then just stopped replying to me.

Scammers they taken my profile and fake it up i didnt make account with contactout.com so why they put your details up i going to complain to the the the authority they get close down not legal

Not a good source of accurate information. The information they do have is a jumble of out-of-date information. A lot of it is plain wrong (like the skills and strengths)
