Posted: 10/30/2005 12:42:55 PM | | you know, i wish i would have done back ground checks on half the people i have been associated with over the years. But, you dont know until you learn so now we learned. I dont do background checks unless i get this gut feeling that i should. | |

Posted: 10/30/2005 12:52:40 PM | I just googled myself...fake name, real name...nothing there. I guess I'm too smart to give anyone my work email or list any real information in my yahoo or msn profile. This is only given once I am comfortable enough with that person to share my life. After that, I'm an open book and they can do all the background checks in the world on me....everything I tell them will be the truth. I am also upfront about not divulging too much information to begin with and so far, everyone has been understanding of this.
I still maintain that I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. If they fool me, shame on ME but if I lose all faith in people, what's left???
Maybe I am a FOOL, but I still believe in the good in people....even MEN! | |

Posted: 10/30/2005 4:45:59 PM | | I try to do background checks on people all the time before out first date. Most of these records(past convictions, marriages, child support, even traffic tickets) are all public record. You can go on the courthouse to where they live, work, etc. and find if they have had any court records by doing a search. You can also go on the white page search on the internet and do a reverse email search and will tell you about them if not an unlisted number. If you can't find any info about them.....make sure you meet in public for awhile until you can trust them. I have even gone by their house to make sure they didn't lie. You can never be too careful on the internet. You will definately have a background check on you if you ever get to the point of being around my child. | |

Posted: 10/30/2005 6:33:21 PM | I googled my last name and found there are several of my (not common) last name around..
(Yes I came up under the search.. for computer repairs because of my website..)
So I looked deeper in on some.. and found:
Thomas J. P******* has held 2 patents:
5362827 Solution process for preparation hydrophobically functionalized cationic...
This invention provides a process for preparing novel hydrophobically associating polymers containing cationic functionality which are useful for clean-up of waste waters containing organic contaminants. These water soluble polymers contain both water soluble and water insoluble monomers.
and under Thomas John P******* this one:
6110880 Polyolefin block copolymer viscosity modifier
A viscosity modifier comprising a low molecular weight block copolymer including A blocks and B blocks, wherein the A blocks comprise at least about 93 wt. % polyethylene and the B blocks comprise a copolymer of between about 40 wt. % to 75 wt. % ethylene and at least one other a-olefin.
Holy shit.. and I thought I was a friggin nerd! Then I happened across
Dr. Jane P******* another smart person!
A doctor! I'm starting to feel like an underacheiver.
Michael P******* won the Pennsylvania Lottery!
Lucky **stard!
Then this article about Jake P*******:
Chapman’s interest in reaction mechanisms and theoretically interesting molecules led him to adopt techniques that allowed direct experimental detection of reactive species. Early efforts involved IR spectroscopy of intermediates generated upon photolysis of neat precursors at 77K. A critical advance came in the early 1970s when he was introduced to rare-gas matrix isolation spectroscopy by Jake P*******. They adapted this technique to study reactive intermediates in organic chemistry, including the classic cases of cyclobutadiene and o-benzyne.
Umm.. okay.. I decided to stop here now.. I've come to realize.. that everyone with the last name P******* is a God damned nerd! My geeky friggin family is cursed to nerd-dom! So ladies.. if you want a kid who'll grow up to be a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon, I'll sell my sperm! | |

Now I knew I could google myself but I have no real data pertaining to me on the net, well not that I can find anyway.
But daaaayum... I googled my screenname, which I've used since forever on every site, from games to dating to whatever, and I see quite the trail! WOW.
Yep, POF posts did show up too... heheh...
Very interesting. | |

Posted: 10/31/2005 12:32:43 AM | This guy was very good. Tells me he has done it before - ie he had it all worked out. Sometimes people just are systematic liars who go to the trouble to get the props to back them up [ eg a living place] its a hard call. One of my alarm bells to me would be does he have his own place and does he allow you to visit. This one he had that covered!
Dont beat yourself up too much. Personally if you want to google go ahead. Though I dont think its that reliable. Its nothing worse than looking up a website where someone works. What is wrong with checkin up an address or details on a public site. Though I draw the line at snooping at private stuff.
My list of checking if a guy is not married or has girlfriend/partner [ disclaimer not 100% infallible but it helps]
you have a home number and you've called it and hes answered etc - several times
you have a work number and you've called it and hes answered etc
You have visited his house more than once. And if you have, he doesnt frantically run around after you cleaning up and making sure 'you got everything' and looks nervous while you are there
You go out socially and introduces you to people who know him
He is reasonably reliable and available. eg not lots of last minute arrangements to catch up - eg 5pm for that night or worse - a 1am phone call - thats just a booty call - or lots of last minutes excuses not to make it [ after a couple tells me there is something going on]
You've met/been introduced family members [ a little further down the line of course]
Like I said this isnt a guarantee - someone who really wants to could get around some or even ALL of these situations - But they are reasonable steps to keep an eye on. Its hard as we all want to trust and believe in the good, but at the same time not be totally blind.
No I dont usually google people - but I do keep an eye out fo the above now. Like you Ive been caught - so try to learn from it if you can. They arent all like this one | |

Posted: 10/31/2005 6:45:41 AM | even though there are some bad types out there, and i don't in any way think they are limited to the net and dating sites, are we all that paranoid?
there are usually ways of getting an idea someone is not up front. but you will never see all the scams as the people who do them have tried and failed before.
i would never give away personal details on a first meet unless i had known the person for a long time and we were getting along great in person. and even then i would take a second to think about it.
but then again, i'm not getting inundated by requests for my number, address, full name or a face to face meet :) | |

Posted: 10/31/2005 2:18:55 PM | | actually, A DOB isn't all that neccesary either, some common deduction, a little atention to conversation and their first & last name, a middle initial can help narrow it down some if they live ina big city. | |

Met at an apartment, I take it you had sex?
Here is what I would do: wait until he left home, go to his house and tell his wife exactly what you just told us.
He is the kind of guy that gives me and all other decent guys a bad reputation.
Googled me? nope, wouldn't bother me one bit, I don't lie. | |

actually I have to disagree with your kind self and rainbow in regards to researching all vital details on the net...you need a lot more than that to work out if the person is " lying" to you above and beyong google anyhoos They can even lie about any stats on themselves. Some people are just gifted I guess
I would have to agree sometimes you just have to get involved with conversation as you stated later in your post and pay attention to detail
Really Roollllllyy concerned?? get a private investigator ...sometimes all the best defences in the world still wont help. | |

Posted: 11/1/2005 10:34:56 AM | | There's a web site called Intellius, and if you have a few specific details about the person, i.e. date of birth, last known address, or couple of addresses ((or even any other states they've lived in)), phone number, and SS# if you can get it.. It's amazing the things they can research. They can tell if the person has ever even been arrested or been in jail. Not just prison. I only had them check out the last 2 states the person I was talking to had lived in, and he did admit to having been in jail 7years prior. That did show up, but there was nothing else. The more you pay, of course, the more info you get; such as whether they're being pursued for back child support, whether they're really divorced ~~LOL~~ Lots of things they can check into.... | |
