Background check

My boys had an unpleasant experience today with their mother's "friend". I feel that it would be good to know more about this individual.

I remember someone on this forum obtaining this kind of info about someone a while back.

There are a lot of services for this (how many are legit?) so I am looking for a recommendation.

Thanks,

Rich H

    Rich you can do a goggle search a typical background check costs about $20 dollars , also an often overlooked resource is DMV I do not know the cost but here in CT you can order a background check for a persons driving record and it will show jail or arrests stuff like that.
    Now here is the big BUT for most of the "real ones" that offer background services for a fee also require the persons SSN this can be a big red flag since the Privacy act of 1984 has all sorts of ramifications if you get caught.
    I do not know anything about the laws where you live but if it was me I would go to a private investigator most will charge $35 for a basic background check and they take on any legal burden if they do somehting wrong.
    You can say you are thinking about hiring the person for a business venture, Just one thought The Patriot Act has caused so much confusion I would CYA
