Not so long ago I put my car up for sale on a few websites, it didn't generate much interest apart from one guy who was very keen to buy it, he wanted to pay all in cash but wouldn't negotiate on the meeting place, he said the only time he could meet was late at night and in a neighborhood that is not very safe.
I was very dubious at this point; you hear all these stories about people getting robbed or worst; mugged and beaten and their cars stolen. So I decided to try and run a background check on this guy, I had his first and last name and knew the area he lived in; I did a quick Google search for a background check service and came across one called Backgroundreport360. I signed up to their trial service and searched for this guy with his details, after a few seconds it came back with his details, there was only one person matching his name in that area so I knew it was him.
To cut a long story short this guy had previous convictions for robbery, assault and grand theft auto, my suspicions were pretty much confirmed at this point!
The service itself from Backgroundreport360 was quick and easy, it gave me all the details I needed and a full criminal record check. I've used it a few times since and been impressed with the level of details it gives you. Check out their site here.
