    The services does take about 5 minutes to compile a report. Then you have to enter your name, surname and email address to receive the report.

    I couldn't search myself so I chose Paris... NOT the city... rolleyes

    I didn't see that one. But, yes, it's a paid membership service.

    Quote from the FAQ: "The Instant Checkmate website offers three basic membership plans. All membership plans are billed up front for the entire term selected."

    When I had to enter my name, surname and email address, I said :seeya

    Really not that interested in Paris... rolleyes

    I think its more in regards to their practices and the fact that they are spamming all over the internet right now. It may not be infected, but I'd say it's more than likely a scam based on some of the comments.

    I wouldn't use such a 'service'. Just thought it would elicit some funny comments.

    And TimW found his ex... :-D

    Now where did I put his credit card details? :confused

    Find that birth cert.

    EDIT Yeah looks like a scam, how do you know what information they have access to? All the places it says you may have heard of 'them' is changed on the next page to "background searches". Of course background searches have been seen everywhere but that website hasn't.

    Guys...

    That site is fishing for info from you and using generic screens to lure you in. Each time you type something in about yourself, you are adding to the database.

    It won't find anything a google search cannot.

    Well there is that. Because you certainly didn't make any sense so I guess laughing works.

    I see you are back. Welcome rolleyes.

    What sense did I not make? Look at the initial replies and you will see the fun. :wave

    I see no humor in what you posted in reply to me.

    I don't even see fun in talking about a site that has dubious intentions.

    What am I missing here?

    Some MajorGeeks members see the fun...

    For you you... I have nothing

    How about the poor souls that are spending money on this scam because it was posted here?

    Anything for them?

    Anybody who spends money on a 'service' like thís is stupid. I found the site via a site, via another site. I started the thread because I thought it would elicit some funny comments. And it did.

    What part of "The Lounge Hang out and have some fun with your fellow Majorgeeks!" don't you understand? :confused:confused:confused

    I will never lead anybody to a website that endangers them in any way. I detest the lowlifes behind any form of malware. And I will not do anything to jeopardize the the reputation of MajorGeeks.

    TimW saw the funny...
