A lot of people have confiscated my name, even before I was born ! :(
It seemed to be a pretty good search on public (real estate, birth, etc.) records. It did turn up some, but not all, of my references in the scientific literature, but a Google search can be much more complete. Here is a web site I use with prospective tenants for a free criminal background check. This too is not always up to date or complete, but the price is right. |
Pipl's info was 95% wrong. Mostly about a former governor of the Bank of Scotland, and a NJ football player.:rolleyes:
|
The criminal searches site is legit and very informative. But be careful searching in it for fun. You might accidentally learn things about some friends that you never wanted to know.
|
FWIW... YMMV...
THAT particular site did not have any info of value on a couple individuals I KNOW for a fact have records in a particular state. To confirm, I went to the state site and the information is still on the state site. |
Well Classic, you sort of got your money's worth. ;)
Seriously, if it's a negative search it doesn't mean anything. But if it does yield something on a prospective tenant it is worthwhile, without having spent $ on a formal check. |

But you're probably right. I keep after our G-kids about what all they put up on FaceBook, etc. Also, it's the credit score that is important... a al insurance rates, loans, etc. It shouldn't be that way, but how can you fight it. |

I've already been pilfered by FaceBook.
Prior to the "new profile version" of FB, I had all of my personal data restricted to viewing only by My Friends. Over the weekend my profile was automatically converted into FB's new version. The settings on new fields were applied at the default "everyone" level. As soon as I saw it, I erased all of my data and again went back through the settings to restrict viewing, location, etc. This morning I opened FB and I see "personalized" ads for services to the "senior citizens" of Oregon: for the Peace Corp in Portland, for Natural Awakenings, for long-term care insurance, for nursing homes, and for a local funeral business. Even after restricting the settings, the ads change each time I go back into my Profile. Geeeeezzzzz. FB already has the rest of my life planned out for me |
Google continues to please me...
