Examiners are available nationwide, usually only requiring a Google search to locate them.
But some citizens have reported that they paid a 'polygraph matchmaker' service $100 to 'match them up' with an anonymous examiner in their area, then were not able to get the $100 back when they chose not to use that examiner. The matchmaker does not give the name of the examiner or the examiner's contact information or even the city the examiner is really based in until after the $100 is paid. Not all examiner personalities and other details are a good match in such a 'paid blind date'; some examiners might even have past complaints.
Don't throw away $100! PEOA (www.peoa.us) gives free nationwide examiner referrals to clients every day. Mexico and Canada too. Or use Google by typing in Polygraph Examiner (big city nearest you), or call 818 883-6969.
In this economy, paying $100 for something you can do for free can be avoided. It also lets you Google the examiner's name before spending a cent!

Complaint about a California polygraph examiner
(No identifiers are listed. If you recognize yourself here, correct the situation for the future. Courtesy of Polygraph Examiners Of America, www.peoa.US )
Examiner told a potential client that 'the more you pay for an exam, the more accurate it will be'.
APA member: YES
Recent past complaints: YES
Examiner gender: F
Summary per Client: Other examiners that potential client talked to advised that her statement was a lie. Whether you pay a dollar for an exam or pay a thousand dollars for an exam, an exam follows Federal guidelines and is computerized. The equipment doesn't know how much was paid!
Note: There is no 'adjustment' to make results more accurate just because a client paid more.

Most positive YELP! reviews about polygraph examiners are found to be fakes
Most positive YELP! reviews about polygraph examiners are found to be fakes, either written by the Examiner using fake-name Yelp accounts or written by friends of the Examiner using verbage supplied by the Examiner.
YELP! auditors are now more knowledgeable about the lie-detection profession and are filtering out suspected fake positive comments faster.
There are Examiners known by members of our profession as posters of fake positive reviews about themselves and as posters of fake negative reviews about others in their profession.
