WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SERVICE AND HIRING A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO DO A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK?
There is a big difference — in both quality and cost. A licensed, experienced private investigator will provide a much more thorough, exhaustive criminal background check than will this service. He may use a service like Crime Smasher as PART of his efforts but in addition, he will be be doing other important things as well — like verifying the subject’s identity, obtaining a date of birth and checking local court records. If money is not an issue, we strongly recommend hiring a qualified private investigator. If money is an issue, we would strongly recommend using Crime Smasher and any free searches you can find on the Internet as opposed to doing nothing.
