A settlement has been reached between Bellevue, Wash. background check company Intelius and Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna, who acted on behalf of an undisclosed number of customers of the background checks company.
The customers utilized the company’s Web site to do background checks, and the company unknowingly signed the customers up for identity theft services who never utilized the services. The customers paid for background checks through the site, and were asked to click through several screens of information that, unknown to them, obligated them to pay for identity theft services on a monthly basis.
Intelius has agreed to contact the customers in the coming months and offer refunds, but has admitted to no wrongdoing in the incident.
