Beware of Online Background Check Scams

Whether it's a date, a potential employee, or a live-in nanny, we want to be sure they're telling the truth. A quick search on Google reveals hundreds of "background check" services. But how does one know which service to use? Our intrepid editors spent a full month testing and reviewing dozens of services to find out.

To test each service, we ran background checks on people with known criminal and civil records, including bankruptcies. This allowed us to easily verify the accuracy of all results. We checked on people of different ages with diverse backgrounds, residing in all 50 states. We were surprised at what we found.

It seems that the vast majority of "background check" services simply don't deliver the information they promise. In almost all cases, the results sold to us were outdated, incorrect, or nothing more than data from local phone books! All of this despite widely advertised claims of current criminal and civil records.

Fortunately, we were able to find a few web sites that stood out above all the rest. No matter who we checked, these background services consistently provided up-to-date criminal and civil records. If you need to check someone's background reliably and confidentially, use these online search services:

Editor's Top Choice

Net Detective

It's really no surprise that Net Detective was our top pick. They maintain one of the largest investigative databases on the Web. Their service is popular amongst reporters and private investigators - with good reason. Almost every check we did came back with current and accurate results. If you need to perform in-depth, nationwide background checks, you can't go wrong with this excellent service.

Best Reverse Searches

Reverse-Records.org

Reverse-Records.org is ideal if you don't know the full name of the person you want to check. With this service, all you need is the person's email address, or phone number, or license plate number. Just enter any of this information, and voila - you have their full name, phone number and current address! Once you have this basic information, you can then proceed with a background check from Net Detective.

Best Reference Guide

CourtRecords.org

Although CourtRecords.org can be used for backgrounds, its real strength is its huge collection of public records resources. This includes everything from county clerks to criminal courthouses. Keep in mind however that this service does not provide any results (like Net Detective does). You'll still need to contact each resource on your own to obtain information. But it's a valuable starting point for research.
