Maybe you’re trying to hire someone who will be in your home or around your family. Maybe you just met someone and want a better handle on who the person is. Have you gotten a feeling that someone you’ve been talking to for a while is hiding something from you? Whatever the reason, there’s a need to know more — to delve a little deeper about someone who’s impacting your life in some way.
It’s not unusual to find out if someone has a criminal history or is a felon. In fact, finding out if someone is a felon is a smart thing to do — and we can help with that.
How Do I Find Out If Someone Is a Felon?
Online predators have existed for decades. Many are romance scammers pretending to be someone they’re not, so their unsuspecting victim on the other end will fall in love with them. That is a great opportunity to scam the victim and take hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of their hard-earned money. This form of fraud, known as catfishing, is familiar to countless people across the globe.
That’s why Social Catfish was created. One of the things we’re able to do is help victims identify the real person on the opposite end of the line to expose them for who they really are. That means even identifying if they have a criminal history or are a felon.
The In-Depth Search Specialists at Social Catfish have the expertise to do the background check needed to find out more about potential suspects. They will exhaust all possible databases and public searches and investigate cutting-edge search results to find out more about the person you want to know better. That includes using a reverse name search across the internet to search all major search engines and their link to apps and social media accounts. With this special-search technique, a personal background check becomes an advanced background check to let you know if someone has a felony with a history as a sex offender, has gone to jail or spent time in prison, or is currently on probation.
Is This An Invasion of Privacy?
While Article IV of The Constitution protects the privacy of U.S. citizens to a certain degree, there is information that you can easily check online that is of public record. Public databases, including criminal, commercial, and financial records are records that can be accessed at any time by anyone. Most background checks are reasonable as they consist of information from public databases.
While personal effects in an individual’s home are protected from unreasonable searches, some may still question how much of the public information is even legal to obtain. That is why many states have specific laws regarding searches. For instance, in some states, any search requiring a personal identifier, like a social security number or a driver’s license number needs written permission. However, it is assumed that most employers will do some type of background search.
For the most part, with access to so much online information online, doing a thorough search based on information that is already publicly accessible is not a difficult task, nor is it unusual.
Social Catfish performs algorithm-based searches (from public databases) to obtain the most information possible on an individual. In most cases, that doesn’t involve using personal identifiers but can include using full names, email addresses, phone numbers, social media handles or images.
