It's not often that a Background Screening Company or Criminal Records Checker is checked, but it's usually a competitor that's doing the checking.
Normally, nothing is found but sometimes glaring defects can be exposed.
Take for instance there is a global (tongue in cheek) records retriever in California that was investigated.
This company, a rather newbie in a mature industry, professes on their Web Site to have offices around the world.
Inspecting just a few of their 'advertised' offices, found rented 'serviced offices', other companies (not theirs) but may have business connection, and residentials.
No where was a business license found.
If their Web Site isn't even true how could one trust their record checking claims? Hardly a reputable firm.
And if their phone numbers were rentable through a service like Efax or J2, that loomed highly probable.
I do not like to see results such as above. It's been too much a part of our industry's history to have falsities just to lure the innocent victim into a sense of security.
The real question is whether they obtain court copies, or send you a photo of themselves at the business location and research location?
