According to Rick Tufington, Senior Editor of People Search News (http://www.peoplesearchnews.com ), the reason for the increase in usage of services from sites like PeopleFinders.com (http://www.peoplefinders.com/?from=sempsn ), VoomPeople.com (http://www.voompeople.com/?from=sempsn ) or WhitePages.tv (http://www.whitepages.tv/?from=sempsn ), is an increased awareness of fraud and safety concerns. "While looking for love online, the last thing you want is to end up meeting someone who is married or who has a criminal history. Therefore, you need to check out your date's past and not just take their word for it," Tufington states.
An increasing concern of the online dating community is whether the "match" that they have found is already married. "Though online dating services make it easy to meet new people, these same services also provide easy and discreet access to extramarital affairs," Tufington states.
Results from the People Search News study showed that the most common people search tool purchased by online dating service subscribers was a background check. "Background checks are great because they typically include a wide range of information that can give you insight into your date's past," Tufington adds. Most background checks include a person's marital and criminal history, age and alias information, lists of possible relatives, and even the names and addresses of neighbors.
People Search News advises online dating service subscribers to investigate a potential date's past before meeting him or her in person. "Most online dating services do not run any sort of people search or background check on their members. Therefore, it is up to you to protect yourself from criminals, adulterers and liars," adds Tufington.
Most people searches, including background checks, marriage and divorce searches and criminal checks can be performed for less than the price of a ticket to a professional sporting event. "The fact that these searches can be done from the comfort of your own home, anonymously and for a reasonable price, makes them a necessity for all online daters," Tufington adds.
"Think it's time to meet that special someone that you have been chatting on line with, in person?

Bond shows you how to avoid emotional and possible physical harm when Online Dating."
