Check Them Out! Background Checks, Step-by-Step

This is the only book available that provides detailed, step-by-step instruction on how to do a background check. Other books talk “about’’ background checks, this book tells how to do them.
Checking into the background of people who can radically affect our lives—a potential romantic interest, an online acquaintance, a business partner, a caregiver, a tenant, an employee, a doctor or lawyer—is serious, important business, and it’s too bad more people don’t do it.
This book is for all of us who understand that we should have solid information regarding the trustworthiness of the people to whom we may entrust our safety and happiness or the safety and happiness of our loved ones.
You will learn how to go to a county court online records site and discover if the person you’re checking on has any criminal convictions, has been sued in civil court, has been married and/or divorced or has had a case in probate court. If the information you seek isn’t online, you’ll learn how to track it down in courthouses and records offices.
Check Them Out! Background Checks, Step-by-Step also explains how to search federal court records, sex offender records, physician and attorney professional records, contractor credentials sites and even how to find property records. You’re given step-by-step instructions for each of your searches.
You’ll learn how to do all this checking on your own, without having to pay an expensive online search site or a private detective agency.
This book also is for people who enjoy doing a little detective work, enjoy delving into the marital, legal, financial and personal lives of their acquaintances and friends and people they read about in the news. Opportunities to be a sleuth, a muckraking reporter or an amateur P.I. are greater than they’ve ever been, with worlds of information now at our fingertips.
This book is for the investigative reporter or private investigator in all of us.
