Is "Net Detective" Snake-Oil?

Hi, Fred, I thought I would use it to warn your readers about
Net Detective.. Easy to download, Easy to uninstall, but, it
tells you that you can find out anything about anyone, true,
if you pay each site for the information, then it gives you a
90 day money back plan, and a 800 number to call, you have to
print out, 5 pages to fill out and mail in to them to get your
money back.....If you used a credit card, they make sure that
they collect right away and they will not credit your account,
but they tell you to go to the control panel and uninstall
it.....and you still have to mail in the 5 page form to get
your money back....The program, gives you sites that you can
find on the net, by yourself, and you are out the money.....so
don't waste your time on Net Detective...Just surf, your
pocket will be $29.00 richer and you will be the smart
one.....Thanks Fred for letting this senior sound off.

Thanks for the heads up. I have no first-hand experience with Net
Detective, except that I receive many spam emails about it and programs
like it ("Find out the TRUTH about ANYONE!" or some such). To me, that's
always a clue: Maybe Net Detective is a wonderful product--- I honestly
don't know--- but to me any product offered via spam mail is instantly
suspect.

Plus, product pitches like that always seem to reek of snake oil to me:
Any time a product suggests it can work miracles--- digging up
information no one else can find, fixing problems with Windows no one
else can fix, making your system or your net connection enormously
faster than anyone else can, eliminating darkly mysterious secret
databases that no one knows about but that somehow track your every move
on the Internet--- my BS detectors go off and I usually stop reading.

My rule of thumb is: "The higher the level of hype, the lower the likely
value of the product."

The plain fact is there are few such secrets and miracle cures about
computing. Most of the time, snake-oil programs merely slap a front end
on tools and techniques you could find and use yourself, for free. Yes,
it might take a little digging to find exactly the right info on your
own, but if you do so, you'll be far more empowered than if you relied
on someone else's front end; you'll avoid rewarding snake oil artists;
and you'll save yourself some money.

Cyber Detective is a sham also. All of these "Find out anything about
anyone" software programs are snake-oil. There is nothing in these
programs that will find anything that you cannot find yourself. They
lead you to a lot of expensive sites where somebody else will happily
find the info you are looking for...for a price...and you still need
to provide these companies with most of the critical information about
the person. If you are going to go through all of that, you may as
well take the time and do your own searches.

I bought it. It sucked. The description above is valid. I wrote them
an e-mail asking if I could return it for a refund. Never heard from
them.
