“Beware Of Online Arrest Records Scams! I Can’t Believe The Hours I’ve Wasted On These Arrest Records Search Sites……”

And if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that you can’t always believe what companies claim on their sites. It’s ridiculous and I’m frustrated to be honest with you. That’s really one of the reasons why I made this site.

There are many reasons why people need to do an arrest records search online. I’m a protective parent, and let me tell you I don’t want some criminal or sex offender anywhere near my baby! There are a lot of crazy things that can and do happen out there these days. I’m sure you’ve heard of the unbelievable Jaycee Lee Dugard abduction!?

Protect Your Family!

Arrest records searches are incredibly beneficial for your family. Here’s why. We recently moved from another state, which means we had to start all over… with everything. From choosing babysitters, to picking a day care, hiring a decent plumber, even hiring a financial adviser to help us save up for a future home purchase. I also work from home, so from time to time I need to hire assistants. Searching background checks are very helpful, and I don’t want to see any warrant for an arrest show up on someone sitting right next to me! I’m sure you can think of a thousand other reasons to run criminal checks: maybe you’re a landlord; an employer; or you’re scanning the neighborhood for Sex Offenders. Yikes!!

So, I’m A Cheapskate…

I tried to do the Cheap/Free approach at first. It’s kind of funny actually to think of how much time I wasted. Well, not really!?! So picture this…here I am doing searches on Google for this guy I want to hire temporarily. Is he okay? Normal? Is there an arrest history there? Then, I think I found him on a criminal search site that claimed to be up to date and thorough. I click on the link, enter my search, and it’s another search box wanting me to search for him again. So I do, and then they want me to make a purchase before I see anything. So, I keep looking and finally figured out that I’m not going to find zilch until I purchase one of these things. I went through about 5 of these sites before I finally found the data. THEN… having just paid for 5 services, I start going through my list to get a refund, which raises another question: Do these companies even know what in the world customer service is???? I know this all sounds crazy, but I put in the time so you don’t have to. I write about these things to help you: mothers, fathers, potential neighbors, friends, loved ones, etc.

And The Winner Is…(Drumroll please)

Anyway, that was a debacle and I learned the hard way. But, the site I found the data on was Net Detective. I was actually surprised because it was a fair price according to the other sites out there. I got unlimited arrest records and criminal searches, plus sex offender searches with maps, mug shots, and conviction dates. I also got comprehensive background check searches and other public records information, ALL UNLIMITED!! Which, by the way, helps a lot because some of those guys charge you up front then want to charge you every time you search. Sheesh!

One of the other things I thought was really cool with Net Detective was that they gave me a phone number to call if I had trouble. So, when I couldn’t find this one person I was looking for info on, and wanted to see if there was a better way, I called them. They got on the phone and helped me find that person right away. I later found out this is called “Assisted Search” which other companies charge for. With Net Detective, it was totally free! Is that cool or what?

Second Place Goes To

In the runner-up spot for background check searches, with very good customer care, great U.S. converage, and a pretty good size database, is Complete Detective. Between these two services, you really cannot go wrong.

So, thanks for listening to me ramble on… Anyways, I hope you’ll find this helpful when it comes time to do some effective criminal searches and detailed background checks online.
