And that’s the truth! We can show you exactly how to do a free background check. Problem is will you get any accurate results. Will you get any results at all? If results are what you’re after, keep reading. We know how to get you even more than you’re asking for.

What is a free background search anyway?

This is when, for a variety of reasons, you have to find out the background on someone. There are all kinds of reasons:

• You have to check credit on a possible tenant

• Your child has a new teacher

• You have to hire a new babysitter/nanny for you child

• You met someone and want to really know about them before you get involved

• You are getting an operation and want to check out your surgeon

• You are going into business and have to check out your prospective business partner

A free background check may or may not give you information on the following. But it’s worth a shot. After all, it is free. So what do you do exactly?

• Google the person’s first and last name

• To make the results more accurate, put parentheses around the person’s name i.e. (John Doe)

• If nothing shows up, add his place of business and address if you know it.

Most times, as said previously, this will not yield any usable results. But like I said, it’s still worth the few minutes it will take you to do the check.

What will give me the results that I need?

Online, there are many background check companies that will give you all the information that you need and much more. The problem is, if you’re not getting a free background check and you have to pay, who do you go with.

Are all background search companies created equal?

Definitely not! Just as with any other business, background check investigative companies can be honest or dishonest, and many of them are outright scams! The only way to safeguard yourself is to look for online reviews of each company that you discover online to see if others have used them and what their opinion of them is. Also, use the referral system. If you know of someone who used a specific company and they were happy with their service then use them.

If you’ve totally give up on getting a free background check and you are giving in to using a company, this is the type of information that you will have access to:

• Criminal record

• Employment record

• DUI’s and other motor vehicle information

• Credit report

• Sex offense crime record

• Address

• Much more information that might interest you

Because we deal with people that look for searches every day, we’ve discovered one company that everyone is pleased with. They are honest and are very ethical and have great credibility. . They are also the only company endorsed by major U.S. corporations such as: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and many others. That should give you some sense of security in who they are.

The bottom line is this. Getting any usable information cannot be found with a free background check. But for a small fee, you can have what you’re looking for and more, in a matter of minutes!
