With the progression of technology people have a whole new world to explore when it comes to meeting potential mates. Whenever you meet someone online it gives you the opportunity to really get to know them before meeting them in person. It involves a lot of trust, and we give that trust freely when we have nothing to lose and are safely distant from the actual person.  This false sense of security can be dangerous.

If you have a less than savory background chances are you are not very forthcoming with these details when trying to attract love.  We are not the first ones to mention that people are known to lie about themselves online. Before going to meet someone from your online dating experience, make sure you find out everything that you feel is important to ensure your safety. Finding out such information will help you decide if you want to get to know the prospect on a deeper level. It will help you decide whether or not he or she will be a positive influence in your life.

There are many online resources, but none that are readily available to really help you get to know someone. In fact the Google and Yahoo!  Indexes only cover about 16% of what is online and most of that is outdated.  “Googling” someone is not a good way to find out who they are.  One must be sure that when they choose to utilize a background check service that they are using one that will provide accurate and updated information. Many agencies give information that is available in the local phone book, however, we give much more. ICS can provide this information by searching large databases in order to give real, up to date results.

It is not all that uncommon for a criminal to not have any prior black marks on their background check, especially if their prior problems were outside the country. When you hire ICS for the background check, we make sure to perform extensive investigations including out of country criminal checks. On most background checks we can find information on a person from their past credit history, speeding tickets, more serious drinking and driving convictions, sexual based crimes, or violent crimes. All of this information is necessary before deciding whether you would like to allow this person in your life.

When you are swapping stories over the phone or online, be careful of how much information you reveal about yourself. Don’t give personal information out such as your schedule or your address. For the criminal mind, it can be easy for them come after you if their intentions are not moral. Keep in mind that your good intentions can come back to haunt you if you are not careful in what you reveal. Do not be specific with details that can potentially aid in the theft of your identity, belongings or anything dear to you. Always be as vague as possible in your details about your home and workplace when you are speaking to a person you’ve never met.

It is always better to be cautious, and can prove very dangerous to live your life too trusting otherwise.  So before you agree to meet in person, or give intimate details about your life, to anyone you meet online, please call ICS.  We will do a noninvasive background check on them so you can be absolutely sure that your relationship is based on truth and can proceed with trust and peace of mind.
