People Searcher

Q: Who owns People Searcher?

The People Searchers LLC, an active Florida company at 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135, Boynton Beach, Florida, formed in June 2020. That name appears on its California data-broker registration, its BBB profile, and the Daniel's Law docket where it is a defendant. Who controls the LLC is less clear - Florida's record names another company, DMXH LLC, as authorized member, while BBB names Vanessa Calhoun as managing member, and nothing we can cite reconciles them.

Q: What does People Searcher cost?

A five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 - the entry price varies by the offer you land on - which converts to $49.97 a month billed to the same card exactly five days from the hour you registered. The terms state service fees are non-refundable, so cancelling before the trial expires is the only reliable way to avoid the charge.

MC2 Data network
Named in 2024 MC2 leak

A subscription people-search site operated by The People Searchers LLC of Boynton Beach, Florida, selling reports drawn from a claimed 12 billion public records behind a five-day trial that converts to $49.97 a month. Its operator is a named defendant in New Jersey's Daniel's Law wave, and the site is one of the fifteen brands researcher JayeLTee mapped to the backend exposed in the 2024 MC2 Data leak. It runs a second storefront, SecretInfo, on the same registration.

Background

Site history

People Searcher is a subscription people-search product - enter a name and it returns matching person records, then sells the full report behind a short paid trial. The rendered site never names its operator; every page, the privacy policy included, comes back as an empty JavaScript shell to anything that isn't a browser. The paper trail is where the operator appears, and unusually for this template family it appears clearly.

Operating entity: The People Searchers LLC
Address: 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135 Boynton Beach, FL 33426
Florida LLC: L20000183417 · filed June 2020 · active
Registered agent: Rocket Lawyer Corporate Services LLC (Tallahassee)
Sister domain: secretinfo.org (same CPPA filing)
Backend cluster: MC2 Data (leak evidence, no filing ties them)

The operator is on record in three places that agree. Florida lists The People Searchers LLC as an active LLC, document number L20000183417, formed in June 2020, with Rocket Lawyer Corporate Services as registered agent - read through a Sunbiz mirror rather than the state site itself, because Sunbiz detail pages use per-session identifiers that can't be linked to directly. California's data-broker registration #542614, filed July 8, 2021, gives the same Boynton Beach address and the public contact support@peoplesearcher.com. And the company's BBB profile, opened February 2021, lists the same address and phone.

Who actually controls it is less settled. The Sunbiz-sourced record names the authorized member as DMXH LLC - another company, not a person - while the BBB profile names a managing member, Vanessa Calhoun. No source we can cite reconciles those two, so we report both rather than picking one.

The site's place in the MC2 story is well documented. Security researcher JayeLTee found an exposed, passwordless backend in August 2024 holding people-search records on more than 100 million Americans plus 2.3 million customer accounts, with every user record tagged to one of fifteen brands - peoplesearcher.com among them. DataBreaches.net published the enumerated list. Separately, the Cybernews investigation that established the 106,316,633-record scale names five MC2-operated consumer brands, and PeopleSearcher is one of the five - so this brand is supported by both strands of the reporting, which is not true of every site in the family.

What no filing shows is any corporate link between The People Searchers LLC and MC2 Data, LLC. What connects them is the leaked backend and the shared site template, and that is the honest limit of it.

The subscription is the product. The site's terms describe a five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 depending on the offer you land on, converting to $49.97 a month billed to the same card "exactly 5 Days, on the hour, from the date and time you originally registered." Service fees are non-refundable by the terms' own wording, so cancel before the clock runs out rather than asking afterwards.

The sister site uses a different phone number. SecretInfo runs the same product on the same registration, but its terms give cancellation as (866) 409-0140 rather than this site's (833) 634-0750. If you hold subscriptions on both, cancel each through its own number.

One phone line, two supposedly separate companies. The number The People Searchers LLC gives on its current California data-broker filing, (833) 567-9375, is the same line PersonSearchers publishes in its terms as its billing and cancellation number - and PersonSearchers is filed by Private Records LLC, a different company in a different state. Nothing in either filing documents a relationship between the two LLCs. What links them is a shared phone line, the same page template, and the MC2 backend both sit on.

Network

Sister brands

One filing, two storefronts

The People Searchers LLC's California data-broker filing names two websites - peoplesearcher.com and secretinfo.org - and the two homepages are byte-for-byte identical, the same JavaScript shell served under two brands. Beyond that pair sits the wider MC2-linked template family, fifteen brands mapped to one leaked backend.

Opt out of both, separately. The two sites are one product on one filing, but each runs its own opt-out form and neither page says a submission clears the other. Until one of them says so, treat them as two removals.

Not to be confused with PublicSearcher. publicsearcher.com is a different site on a different operator's filing (Infomatics LLC), and thepeoplesearchers.com - the plural domain that looks like this company's name - does not resolve at all. Name similarity is not evidence of a relationship in this category.

Almost no footprint

For a site claiming twelve billion records, People Searcher has left remarkably little public review trail. What exists is small, uniformly negative, and about billing.

Litigation

Litigation history

Daniel's Law defendant

The People Searchers LLC is a named defendant in its own right - one of the roughly 150 Daniel's Law suits Atlas Data Privacy filed in early 2024, and one of the defendants whose motion to dismiss was denied in the consolidated ruling.

Atlas Data Privacy Corp. v. The People Searchers, LLC

Active

D.N.J. 1:24-cv-04045 · New Jersey Daniel's Law · Filed March 20, 2024

Statute: New Jersey Daniel's Law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1)
Plaintiff: Atlas Data Privacy Corp., assignee of covered persons
Judge: Harvey Bartle III (E.D. Pa., sitting by designation)
Motion to dismiss: Granted in part, denied in part - Aug 25, 2025
Constitutional appeal: 3d Cir. No. 25-1557 · docketed Mar 31, 2025
Current posture: Answer filed Oct 3, 2025 · discovery schedule entered July 30, 2026

Atlas Data Privacy, suing as assignee for New Jersey judges, prosecutors, and police officers, alleges The People Searchers kept publishing protected home addresses and unlisted phone numbers after nondisclosure requests. The district court rejected the defendants' facial constitutional challenge to Daniel's Law on November 26, 2024, and this defendant's own motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part the following August. The company withdrew a personal-jurisdiction challenge, answered in October 2025, and the case is in discovery - no settlement or judgment has been entered.

MC2 Data breach exposure

Not a party

August 2024 · 106,316,633 records · 2.3M customer accounts

Researcher: JayeLTee · brand-ID mapping across 15 sites
This brand's status: Named on both the 15-brand list and Cybernews's five
Corporate link to MC2: None documented in any filing we can cite

peoplesearcher.com appears in both strands of the MC2 reporting - JayeLTee's fifteen-brand backend mapping and the Cybernews investigation's shorter list of five MC2-operated consumer brands. The class actions that followed were filed against MC2 Data, LLC, not against The People Searchers LLC, so this brand carries the exposure without being a defendant in it.

We found no FTC enforcement action and no state attorney-general action naming The People Searchers LLC, peoplesearcher.com, or secretinfo.org.

FAQ

Q & A

Who owns People Searcher?

The People Searchers LLC, an active Florida company at 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135, Boynton Beach, Florida, formed in June 2020. That name appears on its California data-broker registration, its BBB profile, and the Daniel's Law docket where it is a defendant. Who controls the LLC is less clear - Florida's record names another company, DMXH LLC, as authorized member, while BBB names Vanessa Calhoun as managing member, and nothing we can cite reconciles them.

Is People Searcher the same as PublicSearcher or PeopleSearch.com?

No, and the distinction matters when you're following removal instructions. PublicSearcher is on Infomatics LLC's California filing. PeopleSearch.com and PeopleSearchNow.com are separate companies again, with their own review histories that search engines routinely mix up with this one. The only site genuinely tied to People Searcher is SecretInfo, which shares its registration.

Does opting out of People Searcher also remove me from SecretInfo?

Assume not. The two run one product on one registration, but each has its own opt-out form and its own cancellation phone line, and neither site's opt-out page says a submission covers the other. Submit separately on both, and keep the confirmation emails.

What does People Searcher cost?

A five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 - the entry price varies by the offer you land on - which converts to $49.97 a month billed to the same card exactly five days from the hour you registered. The terms state service fees are non-refundable, so cancelling before the trial expires is the only reliable way to avoid the charge.

Was my data in the MC2 leak?

Possibly, if you were listed on this site before August 2024. The exposed database held 106,316,633 records plus 2.3 million customer accounts, and every user record carried a brand ID mapping to one of fifteen sites, peoplesearcher.com among them. Opting out now removes your listing going forward; it does nothing about data already copied from that server.
