This day and age, you never know who you're dealing with. It could be a vendor, a companion, a business partner, a venture capitalist, a new associate, etc. FULL DISCLOSURE is rarely a certainty.
So how do you find out if that person is who they say they are? You could hire me, as a Licensed Private Investigator to conduct an exhaustive and extensive background investigation, but what if you have multiple applicants, or need a smaller method to vet potentials? Consider Sentry Link. They offer a Background Check for only $19.95. I know, you're thinking, what can I get for $19.95?
You'll find out if the person is a sex offender and other felonies in their database. Their Criminal Background Check is "FCRA compliant for employment screening and tenant screening, including a consumer dispute mechanism. Many sites have misleading claims regarding FCRA compliance, creating serious legal risks for employers who use them."
The Criminal Check for California only covers 6 counties, so additional investigation will likely be necessary. A sample National Criminal Background Check Report shows that the report has quite a few details that will assist you in your endeavors. It's like having a document fetcher go and manually search the indexes, so that you can actually order the proper files and compare the details.
So WHO is Sentry Link? According to the BBB they have been in business since August 1, 2001, they are trusted by the BBB. Even I don't have that credential. I find the homepage to be lacking additional corporate information, etc. but the information provided by the BBB and searching online filings will show a strong papertrail of the organization. If you use them please let me know what you think of their services in the comment section.
