Frequently asked questions
Cancel Spokeo: The Right Way
How to cancel Spokeo: your complete guide to stopping charges in malaysia
What Spokeo is and why malaysians subscribe
Spokeo is a people-search platform that aggregates public records, contact details, address history, phone numbers, email addresses, and social profile information into searchable reports. You pay a recurring subscription to access these lookup tools rather than conduct manual searches yourself.
How the service works
When you subscribe to Spokeo, you gain access to a database search engine. The platform consolidates publicly available information and presents it in a structured report format. You can perform reverse phone lookups, search by name and location, and verify contact information across multiple sources. The service operates entirely online, accessible from Malaysia through the main Spokeo website.
Spokeo charges in US dollars (USD), which your Malaysian bank converts at the current exchange rate. As of mid-2024, USD 1 equals approximately RM 4.72, though your actual charge depends on your bank's conversion rate on the transaction date.
Pricing plans available to malaysian users
Spokeo offers four main subscription tiers. The 7-day trial costs USD 0.95 (approximately RM 4.50) and automatically converts to a paid plan if you do not cancel before expiry. The monthly plan costs USD 19.95 (approximately RM 94), the quarterly plan costs USD 44.85 (approximately RM 212) every 3 months, and the professional plan costs USD 69.95 (approximately RM 330) per month.
Each tier includes a set number of searches monthly. The regular membership includes up to 100 searches per month with standard reverse phone lookup. The professional plan offers enhanced search limits and advanced reverse phone lookup features designed for heavier users and business applications.
| Plan type | Price (USD) | Price (RM) | Billing cycle | Searches included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7-day trial | $0.95 | ~RM 4.50 | 7 days, then auto-renew | Limited access |
| Monthly | $19.95 | ~RM 94 | Every month | Up to 100 per month |
| Quarterly | $44.85 | ~RM 212 | Every 3 months | Up to 300 per quarter |
| Professional (monthly) | $69.95 | ~RM 330 | Every month | 100+ searches, enhanced features |
Why you might cancel and what to know before you start
Understanding your cancellation rights in Malaysia protects you from unwanted charges and ensures the process runs smoothly. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (a federal law) grants you the right to cancel distance contracts within a cooling-off period and prohibits unfair contract terms that strip you of basic protections.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 applies to all contracts entered into by consumers in Malaysia, including digital subscriptions. Under Section 9, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (one negotiated at a distance, without face-to-face contact) within a cooling-off period of 10 days, counting from the date the contract is concluded or the date you receive the goods or service terms, whichever is later. For a 7-day trial, this means you have until day 10 from your sign-up date to cancel without charge.
Furthermore, the Act prohibits unfair contract terms. This means Spokeo cannot impose conditions that unreasonably favour the company, such as hidden cancellation fees or automatic renewal without clear prior consent. If Spokeo charges you after your cancellation request without a valid reason, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (Kementerian Perdagangan Domestik dan Kos Sara Hidup).
Your legal position is straightforward: you have the right to cancel at any time after the cooling-off period, and you should receive written confirmation of cancellation. Yafee specialises in helping consumers understand these rights and navigate cancellation processes that comply with local law.
Common reasons malaysians cancel
Most users cancel because they completed their lookup purpose, did not expect automatic renewal after the trial, found the service did not meet their needs, or discovered duplicate charges. Unexpected renewal charges are the most frequent trigger for cancellation requests.
How to cancel Spokeo on the website
Cancelling your Spokeo subscription through the official website is the most direct method and leaves you with written confirmation of the cancellation request. Follow these steps carefully to ensure the process completes.
Step 1: log in to your Spokeo account
- Visit the Spokeo website (spokeo.com) in your web browser.
- Click the "Log In" button in the top right corner.
- Enter your email address and password associated with your account.
- Complete any two-factor authentication if prompted.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings and subscription page
- Once logged in, locate the account menu (usually accessed via a profile icon or dropdown in the top right).
- Select "Account Settings" or "Manage Subscription."
- Find the section labelled "Subscription" or "Billing."
- You will see your current plan, next billing date, and payment method on this page.
Step 3: locate and select the cancel subscription option
- On the subscription details page, find the button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Plan."
- Click this button to initiate the cancellation process.
- Read any retention offer or survey that appears. These are optional; you may skip them and proceed to cancellation.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation
- Spokeo will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may request a reason for leaving.
- Select the reason if prompted (this is optional but helps Spokeo improve).
- Click the final "Confirm Cancellation" button.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and a confirmation email.
Step 5: save your cancellation confirmation
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing the date and time of cancellation.
- Save the confirmation email sent to your registered email address.
- Store both documents for your records in case you need to dispute a future charge.
Cancelling through app store subscriptions
If you signed up for Spokeo through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform, not through Spokeo's website. The app store holds your subscription record and payment method, so cancellation must occur there.
Cancelling on apple app store (iOS)
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Spokeo" in the active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Spokeo" and then select "Cancel Subscription."
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple.
Cancelling on google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Spokeo" in your list of subscriptions.
- Tap "Spokeo" and select "Cancel Subscription."
- Choose the reason for cancellation (optional).
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Google Play will send you a confirmation email.
Contacting Spokeo support if cancellation fails
If the cancellation process does not complete or you encounter an error, contact Spokeo support directly. The company offers multiple support channels, and email or chat provides written records of your interaction.
Spokeo customer support contact methods
- Email: Support email is available through the Spokeo help centre.
- Live chat: Available during business hours on the Spokeo website.
- Phone: 1-888-906-0849 (US toll-free; available 24/7, English only).
- Help centre: Visit help.spokeo.com for FAQs and self-service guides.
What to include in your cancellation request
When you contact support, provide the following information to expedite your request:
- Your registered email address associated with the account.
- Your full name as it appears on the account.
- Your current plan name and next billing date.
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Spokeo subscription and confirmation that no further charges will occur."
- The date you originally signed up (if relevant to a dispute).
Refunds and what happens after cancellation
Spokeo's refund policy depends on whether you cancel within the cooling-off period or after. Understanding the timeline prevents disappointment and helps you plan your budget accordingly.
Refund eligibility under malaysian consumer law
If you cancel within 10 days of sign-up under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period, you are entitled to a full refund of any charges paid. Spokeo must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. In practice, your bank may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to credit the amount to your account.
If you cancel after the 10-day cooling-off period, you are not automatically entitled to a refund for the current billing cycle. Your subscription will simply cease at the end of the current period, and you will not be charged for the next cycle. You retain access to the service until the end of your paid period.
What to expect after you cancel
- Immediate steps: Your account is marked as cancelled, and the auto-renewal flag is removed from your profile.
- Within 24 hours: You receive a cancellation confirmation email from Spokeo or the app store platform.
- Through end of billing period: You retain full access to Spokeo services if you have paid for the current month or quarter.
- After billing period ends: Your access is disabled, and you cannot log in or perform searches.
- Future charges: No charges appear on your card statement after the end of your paid period.
If you are charged after cancellation
If a charge appears on your statement after your cancellation date, this is a billing error. Contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback, citing unauthorised charging. Simultaneously, contact Spokeo support with your cancellation confirmation and bank statement showing the erroneous charge. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation evidence (screenshots, emails, confirmation messages) for at least 6 months to resolve disputes quickly.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Many users encounter problems not because the cancellation process is complex, but because they skip verification steps. Reassurance: awareness of these pitfalls makes your cancellation smooth and protected.
Mistake 1: closing the confirmation page without saving proof
The cancellation confirmation page appears only once. If you close your browser without taking a screenshot or waiting for the confirmation email, you lose proof of the cancellation request. Always take a screenshot of the final confirmation and save the email before closing any tabs.
Mistake 2: assuming a retention offer means cancellation is pending
When you click "Cancel Subscription," Spokeo may display a retention offer or discount incentive. Clicking "No, continue cancelling" is not the final step. You must reach the confirmation page that states "Your subscription has been cancelled." Do not assume the cancellation is complete until you see this message.
Mistake 3: cancelling only the app without cancelling the account
Deleting the Spokeo app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. If you signed up through the App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform. If you signed up on the website but use the app, cancelling on the app store will not work; you must cancel on the website instead. Verify which platform holds your subscription before initiating cancellation.
Mistake 4: missing the cooling-off period deadline
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period is 10 days from sign-up. After day 10, you lose the automatic refund right. If you signed up on 15 January, you must cancel by 24 January (inclusive of both start and end dates) to qualify for a full refund without dispute. Mark your calendar immediately after sign-up if you are unsure whether you want to keep the service.
Mistake 5: not checking for duplicate accounts
Some users accidentally create multiple Spokeo accounts using different email addresses or payment methods. If you cancel one account but a second account remains active, you will continue to be charged. Log in and verify you have cancelled every Spokeo account you own before assuming the cancellation is complete.
Timeline and next steps after cancellation
After cancelling, your account enters a wind-down period. Understanding what happens each day helps you verify the cancellation is successful.
Immediate (same day as cancellation)
Your account shows "Cancelled" status if you log in. The website and app remove your renewal date and display a message confirming the cancellation. Your card is no longer on file for recurring charges, though your account data remains accessible during the current billing period.
Within 24 hours
Spokeo sends a cancellation confirmation email to your registered address. This email contains the cancellation date, your final billing date, and confirmation that no future charges will occur. Save this email permanently.
End of your paid period
Your access expires at 11:59 PM on the final day of your billing period. You can use Spokeo normally until this moment. At midnight, your login credentials will not work, and any attempt to access the service results in a message directing you to resubscribe.
Days 1 to 30 after expiry
Monitor your email for any unexpected messages from Spokeo. Your bank statement should reflect no charges from Spokeo. Check your credit card bill for any erroneous transactions.
Day 31 onward
If no charges appear and your cancellation confirmation email is secure, the cancellation is confirmed successful. You can close the matter. If a charge does appear, file a dispute with your bank and forward your cancellation confirmation to Spokeo support.
Pricing comparison: is Spokeo worth keeping
Before cancelling, compare Spokeo's cost against your actual usage. Many users cancel because the subscription does not justify the monthly or quarterly cost.
| Scenario | Annual cost (USD) | Annual cost (RM) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly plan (12 months) | $239.40 | ~RM 1,128 | Frequent users, variable needs |
| Quarterly plan (4 payments) | $179.40 | ~RM 846 | Regular users, cost conscious |
| Professional monthly (12 months) | $839.40 | ~RM 3,960 | Business users, investigators, high-volume searches |
| 7-day trial (converts to monthly) | $239.40 + $0.95 | ~RM 1,128 | Users who forgot to cancel trial |
If you use Spokeo fewer than twice per month on average, the quarterly plan at USD 44.85 (RM 212) works out to approximately USD 0.15 per search. If you use it once every six months, cancelling saves RM 94 to RM 330 monthly depending on your plan. Yafee's guides help you evaluate whether recurring costs align with your usage patterns.
Your checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation request is complete and protected. Print or screenshot this list and check off each item as you progress.
Before you cancel
- Log in to your Spokeo account and note your plan name, next billing date, and payment method.
- Identify whether you subscribed on the website, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store.
- Check if you are within 10 days of sign-up (cooling-off period for refund eligibility).
- Retrieve your original sign-up email receipt from your inbox.
- Screenshot your account page showing the current plan and billing date.
- Download or save any reports or search results you need before access expires.
- Verify you do not have multiple active Spokeo accounts.
During cancellation
- Complete the entire cancellation process on the correct platform (website or app store).
- Reach the final confirmation screen stating "Your subscription has been cancelled."
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page including the date and time.
- Note the cancellation confirmation number if Spokeo provides one.
- Do not close tabs or refresh the page until you see the final confirmation.
After cancellation
- Wait for the confirmation email from Spokeo or your app store platform (arrives within 24 hours).
- Save the cancellation email to a dedicated folder labelled "Spokeo cancellation."
- Log back into your Spokeo account to verify the cancellation status is displayed.
- Mark your calendar with the final access date (end of your paid billing period).
- Check your bank statement on your next billing date to confirm no charge appears.
- Monitor your email for 30 days; contact support immediately if any charge appears.
- Keep all cancellation evidence (screenshots, emails, bank statements) for 6 months.
What to do if Spokeo refuses to cancel or overcharges you
If Spokeo does not honour your cancellation request or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have legal recourse under Malaysian consumer protection law. Yafee recommends a structured escalation approach.
Step 1: send a formal cancellation demand in writing
Email Spokeo support with a formal cancellation request. Use this wording: "I request immediate cancellation of my Spokeo subscription effective immediately. I understand no further charges should occur after this email. If you have already processed a charge after my cancellation date, I request a full refund within 14 days. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 48 hours."
Step 2: file a chargeback with your bank
If charges appear after your cancellation date, contact your bank's dispute resolution department. Provide your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your account, and the bank statement showing the erroneous charge. Your bank will initiate a chargeback on your behalf, reversing the charge within 30 to 90 days.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the consumer authority
If Spokeo does not refund the disputed charge and your bank chargeback fails, file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living. This is Malaysia's official consumer protection enforcement body. You can file a complaint online at konsumer.kpdnkpp.gov.my. Include your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with Spokeo, and your bank statement as evidence. The ministry will investigate and direct Spokeo to refund you if the charge was unlawful.
Your rights under consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 entitles you to cancel a distance contract within 10 days of conclusion without penalty. After this period, you may cancel at any time, though you forfeit refunds for the current billing cycle. Spokeo cannot charge you after your cancellation request without written consent. If it does, this constitutes an unfair contract term and a breach of consumer law. The ministry can impose penalties on Spokeo and order refunds to affected consumers.

Why yafee guides help you cancel with confidence
Cancelling a recurring subscription involves more than clicking a button. You must understand your legal rights, verify the cancellation is complete, and protect yourself from erroneous charges. Spokeo's support pages often omit key information about Malaysian consumer law and cooling-off periods, leaving you vulnerable to unresolved disputes.
Yafee specialises in translating consumer protection law into clear, actionable steps. This guide grounds every recommendation in the Consumer Protection Act 1999, cites the enforcement body you can escalate to, and provides exact procedures for each cancellation method. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions safely, recover overcharges, and avoid common pitfalls that result in continued billing after cancellation.
The steps outlined here are legal, enforceable in Malaysia, and backed by statutory rights. By following them, you ensure Spokeo cancels properly and your bank account is protected. If a dispute arises, you have documented evidence and a clear escalation path to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.
Cancelling Spokeo is your right, not a favour to the company. Yafee ensures you exercise that right confidently and completely.
