Redding, CA, April 21, 2011—Online dating can be fun and exciting—and potentially, very dangerous. A southern California woman recently filed charges against a suitor she met through a popular online dating site. She claims that the man sexually assaulted her on their second date—and unbeknownst to her, he had a criminal history of sexual offenses.
A simple background check makes a criminal history available—but dating sites are not obligated to obtain background check reports for their members. MyBackgroundCheck.com—sister site to industry-leading background check company Pre-employ.com—is making it easier for online daters to make more informed choices.
By visiting www.mybackgroundcheck.com/OnlineDatingTips, any individual can quickly and easily purchase a personal background check and then share the confidential results with anyone of his or her choosing. The background checks are affordably priced—around $10.00 each—and are easy to request and to share.
"Most popular online dating services do not screen their members. That responsibility is generally left to the individual," said Robert Mather, CEO of MyBackgroundCheck.com. "By developing a system that enables users to easily purchase and share background check information, we're doing our best to inspire confidence in the dating community, to encourage personal responsibility and to promote safe practices."
While a background check doesn't guarantee safety, it can illuminate any criminal history and provide an accurate picture of an individual's personal background.
"There's simply no reason for online daters to compromise safety by skipping a background check," adds Mather. "It's a simple step that can go a long way toward protecting against individuals who have a history of dangerous or questionable activity."
