Oh, and just for the record: I am a Sunday School teacher, have been fingerprinted, and passed a thorough background check - a REAL one - done by law enforcement. I DO care about the veracity of alleged criminal records posted in my name, on websites claiming to be providing a great service to humanity. I couldn't care less about anyone knowing about my DUI, or the "resisting arrest" charge I received at the same time. And yet they had already given my "criminal record" when I followed my name to their site from the browser search results. Additionally, I had opted out on the site, so if one enters my name, it states they have no records. "We can post illegal information - or blatant lies - and are therefore not legally responsible for doing so". They mask the illegality of their service in the fine print, making statements to the effect of "we're not necessarily claiming this information is true", etc. and they are most DEFINITELY not law enforcement or the DMV. I did not provide my social security number, Instant Checkmate is not a potential landlord, employer, etc. For criminal or traffic information, one must do a background check (SSN required), or go to the courthouse of the city in which one believes the subject of their inquiry has committed an offense, and fill out a request for information on that individual. This IS correct: however, that was expunged many, many years ago, and to "disclose" that information, as well as posting "purged" after a case, is not only incorrect, but illegal. The first criminal record this site deems of the utmost importance, to be provided to anyone (free of charge, I might add), is the DUI I received EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO. It is tragic and unnecessary and I cannot undo this damage now. ![]() Just please, if you use this service, take it with a grain of salt and verify it before making life altering decisions or throwing out accusations and assuming the worst about someone. I have nowhere to go with this, no way to verify that it is NOT true. But my life, as I knew it, is completely changed and altered. There is nothing I can do but remove myself from the site. I am more disgusted with people who take this information without verifying it and run with it. In our tech world that should be very easy. If it is going to be published, the source should be readily available, especially if digitized. ![]() I am told they have no way of knowing or verifying that. I have called to find out WHERE the information is from. ![]() This information has not shown up anywhere else. My husband believes I have had a seven year relationship with her that I am hiding. Somehow, I am linked between her and Amazon, and the only connection is she sent me a link to a study guide, on Amazon, during our one email conversation.
