Our editorial assessment from public sources as of May 21, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of May 22, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score

What each dimension means

Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background

Company history

FastPeopleSearch.com is a free, ad-supported people-search engine launched in July 2017. The operating entity is Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, a California-registered LLC (entity #201720710064) with a principal address at 1915 21st Street, Sacramento, CA 95811. The BBB profile lists a separate Boston address (68 Harrison Ave Ste 605 PMB 29296), which is a private mail-box, not an operational office.

Operating entity: Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC
Jurisdiction: California (entity #201720710064)
Business start: Jul 19, 2017
Business model: Free search · ad-supported

Unlike most people-search sites in this category, FastPeopleSearch doesn't run a paywall. Every profile page is reachable without sign-in, and revenue comes from on-page advertising and from upsell links to paid background-check services (Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruthFinder) that appear alongside results. The site claims a database of 800 million unique people and 16.5 billion records on its about page; we haven't independently verified those numbers.

The company has minimal corporate transparency. There's no executive team page, no investor disclosure, no press room, and no public filings beyond the California LLC registration and the BBB listing. The LLC's California data-broker filing lists ten domains it does business as, among them USPhoneBook.com (Dallas TX BBB listing) and PeopleSearchNow.com (Detroit MI PMB BBB listing). None of the three Mississippi Tornado Alley brands are cross-marketed on each other's sites.

The "Mississippi Tornado Alley" name doesn't match the site's branding or location. The LLC is registered and headquartered in California.

Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC operates the brands listed below under the same legal entity; its California filing (CA #201720710064) covers ten domains in all. The brands here are all on that one filing, from 1915 21st St in Sacramento. None of them are cross-marketed on each other's sites.

Several domains with similar names (fastpeoplesearch.info, fastpeoplesearcher.com) appear in Trustpilot listings and elsewhere, but we haven't confirmed common ownership with Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC. Treat them as separate sites until verified.

Related broker network: Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC

FastPeopleSearch is one of several brands operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC. The LLC's California registry filing says an opt-out submitted "on any of these sites … will apply across all sites" for the sale of personal information, while the opt-out covering what each site collects from its own visitors has to be submitted separately on every website. We haven't tested whether a record actually clears the sister brands, so treat the filing as the operator's claim rather than a result: run each brand's own opt-out below and re-check.

Trust signals

Thin third-party data

FastPeopleSearch has surprisingly little third-party review coverage given the site's claimed scale. Trustpilot shows 2.5 / 5 across only a handful of reviews; Sitejabber has a single review at 1 / 5. The BBB rates the company A+ but lists it as not accredited, with customer reviews citing privacy and consent concerns. Treat the numeric ratings as low-signal because of the small sample sizes.

What reviewers and complainants say, from the sources above. Redact hasn't verified these complaints.

Personal information (full name, home address, mobile number) published without consent
Refusal-to-remove responses citing state-by-state privacy law differences
Profiles reappearing after a previously successful opt-out
Difficulty locating the removal page (no homepage link to /optout)

BBB A+ vs the customer reviews: the A+ letter grade sits alongside customer review text that cites privacy violations and refusal-to-remove complaints. BBB letter grades reflect complaint-handling behavior and disclosure responsiveness, not the substantive privacy posture of the underlying business. Read the customer review tab directly rather than the letter grade.

Voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, Sep 2025

Court: U.S. District Court, D. Colo.
Case no.: 1:25-cv-02384
Filed: Aug 1, 2025
Statute: Colorado Prevention of Telemarketing Fraud Act

Elliott alleged that FastPeopleSearch compiles and commercially disseminates Colorado residents' mobile phone numbers without their explicit, affirmative consent, in violation of a 2005 amendment to the Colorado PTFA that prohibits commercial listing of mobile numbers without owner consent. The complaint sought class certification, declaratory and injunctive relief, and statutory damages of at least $300 per first offense and $500 per subsequent offense. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case on September 18, 2025 (docket).

FAQ

Q & A

Common questions

Is FastPeopleSearch a data broker?

Yes. FastPeopleSearch.com is a free US people-search site launched in July 2017. It claims a database of 800 million unique people and 16.5 billion records. Every profile page is reachable without sign-in, displaying full street addresses and full mobile numbers by default with no redaction. Revenue comes from on-page ads and upsell links to paid services like Spokeo, BeenVerified, and TruthFinder.

Who owns FastPeopleSearch?

FastPeopleSearch.com is operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, a California-registered LLC (entity #201720710064) with a principal address at 1915 21st Street, Sacramento. The same LLC also operates USPhoneBook.com and PeopleSearchNow.com.

What information does FastPeopleSearch publish?

The nine categories FastPeopleSearch publishes are full names with aliases, maiden names, and nicknames; current and previous home addresses often back 20-plus years; landline and mobile phone numbers; email addresses; approximate age and date of birth; names of likely relatives and household members and associates; property and address-history records; reverse-lookup data (phone to name, address to resident, email to name); and outbound paid-upsell links to other broker brands.

Can I remove myself from FastPeopleSearch?

Yes. The opt-out page is at fastpeoplesearch.com/optout, but it's not linked from the homepage; you must navigate to the direct URL. Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC's filing says one request covers the sale of personal information across its sites, but we haven't verified that a removal here reaches sister brands USPhoneBook.com or PeopleSearchNow.com, so run each brand's own opt-out flow. See our FastPeopleSearch removal guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long does FastPeopleSearch take to remove information?

FastPeopleSearch doesn't publish a specific SLA. User reports describe removals processing within hours to days, though customer reviews on the BBB cite refusal-to-remove responses citing state-by-state privacy law differences, and profiles reappearing after a previously successful opt-out.

Is FastPeopleSearch covered by FCRA?

Not by its own account. It says it isn't a consumer reporting agency, and its terms bar using reports for hiring, tenancy or credit. The case we found, Elliott v. Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC (D. Colo. 1:25-cv-02384), was brought under the Colorado Prevention of Telemarketing Fraud Act, not FCRA, and the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed it in September 2025.

Take yourself off data broker sites

Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. They also submit the FastPeopleSearch removal for you, re-scan about every 15 days and file again if your listing comes back.
