Go to
http://www.certifiedbackground.com/ and run a background check on yourself and see if anything comes up.
hey remo, their description is pretty funny
"
What is CertifiedBackground.com?
CertifiedBackground.com is an applicant funded background check service. CertifiedBackground.com allows individuals to order and/or purchase their own background check while satisfying the specific requirements of employers or organizations. The background check may then be viewed online by the individual and the organization. CertifiedBackground.com allows applicants to distinguish themselves from the competition and helps organizations maintain a safe and secure environment."
WTH is applicant funded? why can't they just say "fee for service"...
I get the feeling that you're paying this company and others just like them for no good reason, you're providing them with your personal information, information which they wouldn't have otherwise .
OP, try livescan--> it's a fingerprinting service which runs a background check through DOJ (department of justice) you'll end up having to do this for any type of state or federal employment/licensure.
The hospital I work at does background checks through Choicepoint, a company which doesn't require fingerprinting, and hence probably not all that accurate.
Choicepoint is one of the larger database collection services, you may remember that about two years ago they were caught selling people's personal information to crooks.
Anyway, I'm weary of big brother and I'd be weary of any website/company where I have to provide personal information to get personal information. If you want to test this hypothesis, enter a slightly different address and/or birthday, and I'll bet you that they'll give that erroneous info as part of the search that you paid for!!!
