Absolutely Free Background Checks – Nearly Free Background Checks

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

How to get good value for money background checks on people

Do a background check on someone

Have you tried to get an absolutely free background check done on someone but could’t find a totally cost free public records source? Yes I’ve tried and failed too. There are plenty of web sites that offer background checks and some of them even claim to be free. When it comes down to it though, you find that you have to pay something to get any useful information about people. I settled for a solution that provides great value for money and this is how you can do it too.

Most of the web sites that offer background checks on people ask you to pay for every search that you perform. The way that they typically work is that you pay a fee to register on the site. The fee that you pay can then be used towards the records searches that the site offers. The amount that you paid determines how many searches that you can do and when it’s all gone you have to pay more.

The problem with most public records web sites

Paying for every background check that you do can get very expensive as I found when I tried to use one to check out a new friend of mine. The biggest problem that I found was that you often need to do more than just the one search to find all the information you need. First you have to find the right person to look up. This isn’t easy if they have a common name or if you don’t know which state they live in.

When you’ve found the right person and done a full background check on them you will most likely want to do an arrest records search to check for arrests and arrest warrants. You will also want to check for any criminal records and sex offenders records too. If you don’t know where they are or you haven’t seen them for some time then you might want to do a prison inmate search. If you are planning to date this person then you could be interested in the marriage records search. If you are just curious then you might be interested in all of these searches.

How to have fun looking up background information on people

Performing most of these searches will cost money and reduce your account balance. This can get expensive and will become an obstacle to you getting all the information you want. Looking up background information on people can be fun but it’s no fun if you have to pay for every search that you do.

So how can you get information about people in a way that’s good value for money and makes it fun to do? The answer is to use a public records database web site that offers unlimited free background checks to members. While you are a member you can do as many searches as necessary on as many people you want and you can do it at your convenience any time you want.

Until you’ve tried it for yourself you won’t believe how much fun it can be when you can do as many absolutely free background checks and criminal records searches and any other searches and checks that you want. It’s like getting a telephone service that gives you unlimited call time for one small monthly fee. How many calls would you make if it didn’t matter how long you spend on the phone?

Criminal Public Records Free And Almost Free Background Checks

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Get to know someone by doing a background check on them

Criminal records and background checks

What do you do if you get a funny feeling about someone that you want to have a relationship with or that you want to hire for work or get close to in some other way? Do you like this person and want to get to know them better but you think that something isn’t quite right? Doing a background check on this person and checking their criminal records is a very good way to find out about someone even when you think everything is ok. It could save you from making a big mistake.

Free criminal records check – is it a myth?

If you go to Google or one of the other search engines and enter something like “criminal public records free” you will find that you get a lot of results to choose from but will any of the links give you the information that you are looking for? If it does, will it give you the information without asking you for money?

I decided to test this out. I wanted to find out if you could do a free background check on someone. It could be the new love in your life or just someone that you want to get close to. You could be completely charmed by this person and want to turn it into something more serious.

I could see from my Google search that there were a lot of web sites claiming to let you search for criminal records for free so I tried some of them.

Criminal public records free – Not quite

I tried quite a few of the links that claimed free public records before I realized that you will most likely need to pay a small fee to get the information you want despite what the headlines say. Some of the links took me to government web sites that were difficult to use and at best only allowed state wide searches and provided limited information.

Some sites claim to be free but ask you for money before showing you any meaningful results. I suppose that they get away with it because the information is freely available but the charge for making it available is not free.

The best criminal records web site I could find

The best site that I could find allows you to search for someone before making any payment but it only indicated that there was some information in the database on that person. It will give you background checks and criminal records after you pay the fee.

I was searching for information on someone that I knew and I thought that anything that I could find might be useful. If you are about to get into a serious relationship with someone or hiring them to do work for you then a background check report would be useful to you too.

The web site that I used has a no-nonsense guarantee so you can always get a refund if you aren’t satisfied with the results. I gave it a try and I was amazed by what you can find out about someone on this site. I’m not going to tell you what I found out about my friend but I was very surprised by some of the things in the report. You may not be able to find criminal public records free but this is the next best thing.

Reverse Telephone Directory Locate A Person With A Telephone Number

Using a reverse telephone directory to find someone by phone number

Locate someone by telephone number

Do you keep coming across a phone number that you don’t recognize? Do you suspect that the numbers on your phone bill belong to the person that your spouse is cheating on you with? Are you worried about the numbers in your child’s cell phone address book? Do you keep getting nuisance phone calls? Do you want to know how you can locate a person by telephone number?

You might want to find out who owns a phone number and where they live for a number of very good reasons including looking up old friends, neighbors or relatives. Reverse telephone directories can be used for all sorts of good reasons and not just to spy on someone or catch a nuisance caller or stalker.

Using Google to locate people by telephone number

You can sometimes locate people by phone number for free by simply typing in their telephone number to search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. This works especially well when the number that you’re searching for is owned by a business.

Businesses want to be found and many use the Internet to advertise their business so there is a good chance that their phone number is published on their web site or elsewhere on the Internet. Businesses love you to use reverse telephone listings to find them. If the number is on a web page somewhere then it’s likely that the search engines have indexed it ready for you to find for free. Individuals tend to be more protective of their phone number so it might be harder to find them than it is a business.

Finding a phone number on the Internet and using search engines to find people is always going to be hit and miss but it’s not as uncommon as you might think. Just give it a go, what have you got to lose? Try searching for the phone number in all of the main search engines. You might just get lucky.

Get better results using a fee based reverse telephone directory

If you don’t have any luck trying to locate a person by telephone number using the free search engines you should try using a web site that maintains a database of searchable land line and cell phone numbers. They collect information from many public records sources so not only do you stand a better chance of finding who owns the number but you can also find out lots of background information on them at the same time.

Use a Reverse Telephone Directory to find someone now.

Arrest Warrants – How to Find Out How Many Criminals Are Active in Your Neighborhood

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Do you know where the criminals are in your area

Find someone’s criminal record

Recently I happened to be talking to someone about how important it was to know if you have an arrest warrant. What this person told me took me by surprise and it turned my thinking on it’s head.

I said that if you wanted to avoid the stress and financial loss, not to mention the embarrassment that would happen to you if the police came and arrested you on a warrant unexpectedly one day then you have to make regular checks to see if you have an arrest warrant anywhere in the country. If you know that you have a warrant then you can get a lawyer and go and hand yourself in voluntarily which not only is the right thing to do but it will also lead to the best outcome for you.

If you get an arrest warrant then simply move to another state to avoid it

I must have touched a nerve in the stranger that I was talking to because what he said to me next left me speechless. He laughed and told me that both he and his wife both had active arrest warrants in a different state and they simply moved to avoid them. Apparently they had warrants in other states dating back years and they haven’t been caught yet.

It’s too expensive to enforce arrest warrants across states

I was trying to keep the conversation light hearted at this point because I started to get a very uneasy feeling but I wanted to find out more. Apparently the police don’t enforce warrants for arrest across states because it’s too expensive for them. I guess that they think that if a criminal has moved away from their area then they are someone else’s problem.

The person that told me this then informed me that moving state was a very common method of evading the law and that he knew of many more criminals living in the area that had moved to escape capture in states where they had committed crimes.

Anyone in your area could have an arrest warrant

The implications of what I was being told started to dawn on me and I realized that this was a big problem. Why? Because it means that literally anyone in your neighborhood or any one of your work buddies or anyone that you invite into your home, could be criminals in another state. That’s a frightening thought isn’t it?

Protect yourself by knowing who the criminals are

So what can you do about it?  Sign up at a public records web site where you can check out the arrest warrants, criminal records and other background information on anyone you want. It’s not expensive compared with the peace of mind that you’ll get from knowing where the criminals are. Start by checking out the people that you have most contact with and especially anyone that you are considering hiring to do any work for you. Then you can check out all the people that live in your area.

If you are brave then you can tip off the police about the whereabouts of these criminals trying to evade warrants. The least you should do is stay away from them and don’t invite them into your home.

Search Free Arrest Warrants – How to Find Warrants

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Can you do a free arrest warrant check?

Find arrest warrants now

If you think that you might have an arrest warrant or you want to check to see if someone else has one then you can search free arrest warrants by asking at the courthouse where the warrant was issued. If you are enquiring about your own warrants then you should have no problem getting the information. If you want to check out someone else then you might have to justify the request. There is also a simple way to find out if someone has a warrant for arrest even when you don’t know where it was issued.

Why do you want to search for arrest warrants?

The ability to check to see if you have a warrant for arrest can be very useful. You can make sure that you don’t get any surprises in the middle of the night from police calling to arrest you. If you know about your warrants before it gets to that then you can get a lawyer and hand yourself in voluntarily. You will get on much better with the court than if the cops had to drag you there.

If you are thinking of getting married, or employing someone, then it’s a very good idea to check to see if the person you are dealing with has any arrest warrants before you do something you might regret later.

Some warrants are easier to find than others

It’s quite easy to do a free arrest warrant check on yourself if you know where the warrant might have been issued. It’s just a matter of checking the court where the warrant was issued either online if they allow it or by visiting the records office in person.

It’s not so easy to find arrest warrants if the warrants were issued somewhere else. This could happen if you have had your identity stolen or you are trying to check out someone before you get too involved with them. Not all arrest warrants are available free online and visiting all the courthouses in the country isn’t very practical.

free check for arrest warrants nationally

There is no easy way to search free arrest warrants nationally but if you are prepared to make a small investment you will find that it’s very easy to check if someone has arrest warrants no matter where they were issued or who it is you’re checking out.

You can search for arrest warrants on almost anyone, anywhere in the country in less than 10 minutes. You can do this by using an online service that specializes in collecting arrest warrant information together with all kinds of background information from thousands of different sources from all over the country. All this information then goes into a huge database waiting for you to access it online.

Find Criminal Records – Are Your Friends Criminals?

How to protect yourself from people with criminal records

Find someone’s criminal record

How well do you know the people around you? Time and time again you hear of seemingly ordinary people committing the most horrible crimes. Kidnapping, murder, rape… The list goes on and on and in an alarming number of these cases the people around the criminal, including closest friends, were completely unaware of what was going on. How do you protect yourself against criminals like this?

Kate and John had been looking for someone to do some odd jobs on their property for some time so when they saw someone working on their neighbors house, Kate took the time to go and talk to him. His name was Jim and he came across as being very approachable. Kate liked him a lot so she asked him to come over and meet John that evening. John was equally impressed with Jim and they asked him to do some small jobs on their property.

Jim arranged to do the work later that week. He turned up on time, did the work efficiently and left. Kate and John were so impressed that they asked Jim to do several more jobs for them over the following weeks. Everything went according to plan and Jim became almost part of the family for a time. They came to trust Jim so much that they were quite happy to let him enter the property while they were out at work and even loaned him a set of keys.

Check his criminal record before letting him into your house.

The work took a little longer than expected as it so often does but at the end of 3 months John made a final inspection of the work and paid Jim in full. They paid cash because Jim asked for it. I’m not sure why workers in the building trade like to be paid in cash but that’s another story.

They only noticed the problem after Jim had vanished

Jim left the area and on to another job. Kate and John thought that everything was ok until one day Kate found something unusual while checking her credit card statements. Normally she doesn’t pay much attention to the statements and just clears some of the debt but this time something caught her eye.

There was a purchase that Kate didn’t recognize. It wasn’t for a large amount but she knew that she had been at a wedding all day on the date of purchase so she knew that she couldn’t have made it. She then looked closer at her statements for the previous 3 months and found that there were in fact quite a lot of transactions that she couldn’t account for. Some of them were hers of course – she simply didn’t remember using her card but there were others that definitely were not down to her. They were all small but amounted to several thousand dollars when you added them all up.

John was horrified by this and set about checking his own statements only to find the same pattern of unexplained transactions. Then they started to think about some things that they thought they had lost around the house – Kate’s cell phone and some jewelry that she didn’t wear very often. John had lost his PDA and a few power tools that hardly ever left his workshop. Had all these items been stolen?

You can avoid this happening to you

This is a fictitious story designed to illustrate a very real problem that does happen only too often. Kate and John could have avoided the problems that they now have trying to recover their money and property by doing a simple criminal records search. Jim had a criminal record and Kate and John were not his first victims. Nothing serious and he had served his time but he was an habitual thief. Something that they might have spotted from his record.

Find Your Warrants Before The Cops Come For You

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Why did Allan Warrington have the cops banging on his door at 3am one Sunday morning?

Find active arrest warrants

Allan Warrington is a accountant for a large firm of consultants where he has worked for 10 years. He’s a quite sort, hard working and good at his job. He keeps himself to himself although he does like to let himself go occasionally. I expect that you do too. Allan has never been in trouble with the law – he hasn’t even ever had so much as a parking ticket in all of his life. So why did the police have an arrest warrant for him and why did they practically break his door down that morning?

Have you had your identity stolen?

It all started 3 years ago when Allan left his wallet in a coffee bar one lunchtime. He had put it on the table and left without picking it up. Have you ever done this? I know that I have. He realized what he had done as soon as he got to work and decided to go back for it right away.

When he got to the table he had been sitting at, the wallet was gone of course. Luckily it had been handed in to the staff who had put it under the counter for him. Allan was very relieved to get his wallet back and made a quick note to himself to never do that again. Then he forgot about it – until 3am that morning.

Your wallet only has to be out of your sight for a few minutes for someone to get all the information that they need to steal your identity and this is what had happened to Allan. They took his credit card numbers, his drivers licence details, his address and any other information that they could find. He even had some receipts for ATM withdrawals that the thief could use to verify his account with.

Identity thieves can get you into a lot of trouble with the police

Somehow the thief had managed to get a duplicate copy of his drivers licence and opened a credit card account in his name but this was no ordinary thief. He didn’t go on a spending spree right away like you might imagine. Instead he used Allan’s identity as a get out of jail card when he finally got caught for one of his many crimes.

The thief had been caught committing a serious crime but nevertheless he was granted bail and let free. Of course that was the last the police saw of him so the court issued a Bench Warrant for his arrest. Except that he had given the authorities Allan’s name when he was arrested so the police were now looking to arrest him and not the thief.

Allan’s story is fictitious but it does happen and it could happen to you.

The cops can serve an arrest warrant on you at any time

Unless the crime is very serious it may take some time before the police catch up with you. They might arrest you if you get pulled over for a traffic violation. They can do a check on you and find the warrant. If not then the police will search you out when they are ready which could be some time later.

Find out about warrants for arrest before the cops knock on your door

You will usually get much better cooperation from the authorities if you take steps to deal with any arrest warrants before the police come to arrest you. This applies whether you committed the crime or not. But if you didn’t commit the crime then how do you know that you have a warrant?

It’s easy to do an online background check on yourself

The simplest way to keep one step ahead of the law is to make regular checks on yourself using an online public records database. There are web sites that allow you to quickly search through arrest records and other publicly available records from all over the country. This is good because you never know where the crime might have been committed or where the arrest warrant is issued. When you discover that you have a warrant then you can seek legal advice and set about repairing the damage that the thief has caused you.

Federal Prison Inmate Locator: How To Find Someone In Prison

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

How can I find out if someone is in jail?

Locate someone in prison with public records

When I recently went looking for someone who I thought was in federal prison I was sure that I would have a near impossible task on my hands but I was wrong. It might have been difficult a few years ago but not anymore. Let me show you how to find someone in prison and get loads of background information about them at the same time.

Step 1: Use the BOP Federal Inmate Lookup

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provides a website at www.bop.gov On the site you will find the BOP federal inmate locator which is a searchable database of all federal inmates since 1982.

Type in the details of the person that you’re looking for and click the button to see a list of names together with the prisons where they’re being held. When I did this recently the site gave me a long list of inmates because of the common name that I was searching for so I had to find out which one, if any, of the inmates was the person that I was looking for.

Step 2: Get more background information on someone

You may find like I did, that when you’ve narrowed down your search by race, age and sex you’re still left with more than one name and you can’t be sure that any one of them is the one you’re looking for. You need to get more information on this person.

The BOP site is ok, it’s free and it might just tell you everything you need to know. If it doesn’t then you should subscribe to a web site that will give you all the information you could ever wish for on prison inmates and anyone else you fancy looking up. These websites gather information from thousands of places all over the Internet and offline too. They are easy to search and when you find the person that you’re looking for you can do a full criminal records and background check on them. When you’ve done this you’ll be far more confident that you’ve found the person that you’re looking for.

Locate inmates in federal prison or in state jails using a public records database.

Signs That He is Married – 10 Signs That Your Boyfriend is Lying To You

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Are you dating a married man? Learn to spot the tell tell signs of someone lying

Search for marriage records

Is your date giving you signs that he is married or is being unfaithful to another girlfriend? Is he giving you signals that make you think that he’s lying to you? Is there a perfectly innocent explanation for your boyfriends behaviour or is he cheating on someone and lying to you?

Dating someone new can be a great experience but you won’t be abe to get the most out of a new relationship until you’ve made sure that your boyfriend is being honest with you and that he isn’t keeping any secrets like the fact that he’s married. To do this you need to follow the following 2 steps:

  • Step 1. Learn how to spot that someone is lying or trying to keep a secret from you.
  • Step 2. Do a background check on your boyfriend to fill in the facts.

Step 1. How to spot the signs cheating boyfriends

Really take notice of what your boyfriend does and what he says. Does any of the following 10 signs of a lying boyfriend sound familiar to you?

  1. He ends an Internet chat with you abruptly as if his partner has just walked in.
  2. He doesn’t want to give you his home phone number.
  3. He doesn’t want you to visit him at his home.
  4. He has a wedding ring – what a giveaway – If you spot this one he’s not very bright.
  5. Your intuition tells you that something is wrong? Women are right most of the time.
  6. Sometimes his stories just don’t add up. Compare what he tells you on different occasions.
  7. Ask him if he’s married and see if he becomes uncomfortable or has trouble answering.
  8. He’s secretive.
  9. There seems to be a lot of times when he can’t meet you for no apparent reason.
  10. There are some places that you can’t go together.

If you recognize any of the signs above then you have cause to be concerned but you must be careful not to jump to conclusions. He might be being secretive because he’s planning a romantic occasion for your birthday for instance. You need to get some proof before you put your foot in it and wreck what could have been the start of something special.

Step 2. Find out if he’s married by doing an online background check

Even if you don’t suspect that your boyfriend is lying it’s always a good idea to find out something about his background. He might not be married but he might have a criminal record that he hasn’t mentioned to you. The easiest way to find out if he’s married or if he has any other secrets that you don’t know about is to do a full online background check on him using a public records database. It’s easy and quick and it will be well worth your investment just for the peace of mind that you’ll get.
