Simple Steps To Finding Out If That New Friend Is Telling You The Truth
by Phil McCloud
The Internet has provided us with an amazing opportunity to meet and introduce new people into our lives. Millions of people have found new best friends, and often times, husbands or wives as a result of the power of the Internet. At the same time that many were finding exciting friends, a few were being sucked into a bad situation without realizing it.
Meeting strangers and going on blind dates has always not only been an uncomfortable situation but also a risk. One never REALLY knows if that person you’re meeting for the first time is just out to run a game, scam or rob you. Or, could they be out to do something more severe? Thanks to the power of the Internet, we know longer have to put ourselves in such a risky position. Just as we may have met the person online, we can also check them out online. Even if you are meeting them through a neighborhood friend or co-worker, you can still look into their background through the tools available online.
It’s all to easy to meet a new boyfriend or girlfriend on the Internet but you have to remember that it’s a lot harder to get to know them than it is when you meet them in the flesh. When you can’t see their face, the expression in their eyes and have to rely on typewritten word only, let’s face it, they could tell you anything while safely on the other end of a keyboard. They could be pretending to be anyone they want so how do you find out whether they are someone worth placing your trust in and taking things further?
Get as much background information out of them as possible
This is usually quite easy. Take your time doing this. Begin each new relationship online as an adventure. Savor every moment. Ask questions, and take your time doing it because you want to get as much information as you can before jumping to step 2 of the plan. If you’re quality time online (if there is such a thing) you’ll want to introduce questions over a period of time, rather than jumping in right away drilling them for information.
Use the following list to remind you of what you need:
If they are being honest with you then you shouldn’t have any trouble finding out this information. If you find that they’re reluctant then this might be a warning sign but don’t worry yet, they might just be the cautious type. If you are intending to take this relationship any further you must persevere with your questioning until you get at least some of the answers from the list. You don’t want to meet someone who won’t tell you anything about themselves do you? Keep a notebook handy, or better, log your online chats so you have a record of what you were told. It’s also a good idea to occasionally scan your chat logs and see if there are any discrepancies that you may not have picked up on at the time. It’s all to easy to get caught up in the moment and forget some of the things we need to stay safe, and happy.
Verify the details using public records and get a background check done
It’s amazing how much information that you can find on someone by checking publicly available records. Much of this information is available online but until recently it’s been very difficult to find it. It’s difficult because you have to go look up so many different things in many different databases. Most people would quickly give up on this task because of how time consuming it can be.
Luckily there are now websites dedicated to solving this very problem for you. They pull billions of records of information from databases all over the Internet and some offline sources too and make them all available to you in one place. Suddenly doing a background check on someone is as simple as typing what you know about them into a form on a web page. You can get the information that you’re looking for in less than 10 minutes and it’s completely confidential. No one will ever know that you checked them out.
So first find out something about your friend then go and use a public records website to verify the information that you have and find out a lot more about them. if you already know something about your new Internet buddy then go and check them out with a background check now. You owe it to yourself to check him out before you get serious. You could save yourself a lot of trouble and heartache.
If you’ve just met someone new and you want to be sure that they are not telling you a pack of lies then do a background check on them now. One company, that I have used extensively over the past 2 years is Net Detective. For a one-time charge of just $29.00, you have access to billions of pages of records. The great thing is, you type in some basic information, as is in the list above and click submit. In a matter of minutes, you have the answers you need. The great thing about Net Detective is that it’s inexpensive, thorough in the information you get, and that one time price gets you unlimited searches for 3 full years.

- Get to know someone before doing a background check on them
It’s all to easy to meet a new boyfriend or girlfriend on the Internet but you have to remember that it’s a lot harder to get to know them than it is when you meet them in the flesh.

If you’re quality time online (if there is such a thing) you’ll want to introduce questions over a period of time, rather than jumping in right away drilling them for information.
Use the following list to remind you of what you need:
- Full name?
- Get an exact address if possible but a general area will do.
- Age or Birth Date, the latter is better for getting accurate background information
- Married or single?
- Occupation?
- Phone numbers - land line and cell phone.
If they are being honest with you then you shouldn’t have any trouble finding out this information. If you find that they’re reluctant then this might be a warning sign but don’t worry yet, they might just be the cautious type.
