My Old School

I graduated from a small high school in northern California. I believe there were fewer than 1000 students in the entire school. As you can imagine, I knew quite a few of my classmates and saw them often, even after graduation.

I worked around for a few years and began my higher education but I was antsy for adventure and not ready to sit in class to listen. I wanted to see the world so one day I up and joined the army. I got my wish and did see many new places but I still have places on my list that I plan to visit. But that is another story.

My years after I graduated from high school came and when. My 5 year reunion and then 10 year reunion. I was in Korea, Germany, The Philippines and nobody knew how to contact me. I didn't get home too often either so I lost touch. I was getting used to it though. I had to move around a lot so I would make friends and then have to leave them.

Reconnect with old high school friends and college roommates today!

I finally began wondering about all my old classmates. What happened to them. What are they doing now? I wondered if my favorite cheerleader still had that magic. I wondered if the stud quarterback succeeded. I tried to imagine if my old friends grew up like I envisioned. Had anyone died? Did the high school sweethearts get married? I had to find out. It was part of my life and I had always heard you can never go home.

I knew I had changed. I had many experiences in the world that I never would have gotten if I had stayed in my hometown. I missed some things but I had no regrets. Still I had to know. I went to a university and graduated but it took my a while and it wasn't local like my high school. I found a way to get in touch. I found out I turned out differently than anybody had imagined. I was the quiet, shy guy. Nobody took me for an adventurer. But they were wrong. I was daydreaming in my quietness. So what about my old classmates? Well that is my story. If you want to know yours there is a place you can get in touch again. Good luck. "My Old School"

Make it a Habit!

We are all human and make mistakes from time to time. In the course of our lifetime many paper documents and a lot of digital data are created in our name.

We are born. We go to school. We get a drivers license. We serve in the military. We buy and sell. We get married and divorced. We apply for credit. We apply for jobs. We get passports. And everything needs to be documented.

Background Check - US SEARCH

When I served in the military I was given a lot of good training to teach organizational, leadership and management skills. I also learned the importance of checking records. The military runs on paperwork. Many decisions are made based solely on documents. Personnel decisions are no different, decisions about promotions, assignments and training.

Once a year we were required to review our records and it was up to each individual to make sure their own records were in order. It was definitely a good rule. Even though the personnel clerks were hard working the amount of records they had to maintain was setting them up to make errors. Documents ended up missing from the records, other people's documents were in your records and entries were made incorrectly.

Background Search Products - US SEARCH

I took this habit with me when I left the military. I check my public records from time to time. I have discovered derogatory information on my credit report that wasn't mine. I discovered the speeding ticket in Texas I had paid and thought was taken care of was still showing on my record as open. I also found a bogus judgment and tax lien that was mistakenly credited to me.

Hey, people make mistakes. I make my share of mistakes too. So it's good to follow up and double check things. Not doing so for me would mean those mistakes that were affecting my life would have been an even bigger mistake.

Is That Really You?

The world is full of information. Today, it seems, we live in an information society. We all need to give and get information to live our lives. There is always something we need to know and something somebody needs to know from us.

We spend a large part of our life getting educated, which is just us collecting information so we can be part of society and get jobs. This data can be used for good or bad, constructive or destructive purposes.

Today in the U.S., identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes. It seems there is a lot of money pretending to be someone else and spend their money. There are many methods someone can use to get your personal information. There is dumpster diving, just means someone goes through your trash. Electronics can be used to eavesdrop on your mobile phone calls and steal your number. Public records can be acquired through fraud. And hackers can go inside your computer and get your personal data.

Identity Theft Report - US SEARCH

There are security measures you can take to protect your information. Most companies also take measures to protect you and them. I have been doing online banking for quite a few years now and never had a problem. Sometimes what is done to protect you and the company deny you access to your accounts. But it is safe.

There are many scams around to fraudulently get your information. Just mostly use common sense and be aware of what is normal. The company you have an account with will not ask you for your account number and passwords, or PIN. A scam called phishing is someone using email to try to get that info from you. It is like fishing. They send you an email with an address similar to an account you have. I had this happen, though I didn't even have an account at the bank they were impersonating. Chase Bank. I went the Chase website and they actually have information on how to report this.

Most companies have secure sites for credit transactions and such. You can tell by the "https". Other counter hack methods are used too. It's a war out there. Don't stop living or using your electronic devices. Just be careful and protect sensitive information.

Liars Finally Revealed

How do you know for sure if someone is lying to you or not? Sometimes it don't matter but other times the lie can be to deceive you about their true identity and background. In the past you more or less had to take someone's word for who they are, but now you have options. If you read the newspapers, listen or watch the news you have certain heard about nanny's who hid their background so could be near children. You have heard about employees who lied to get a job and then the employer loses money or worse. In the past all you could do was make some phone calls and send some letters.

What is your situation? Why are you interested in people search or a background search? Are you an employer? Are you a concerned parent? Are you trying to find your long lost love from High School? Are you wondering why you can't get a credit card and curious about what is on your credit report? Do you want to know about court records and if that DUI is off your record? Are you trying to find the person who isn’t paying alimony or child support? Did you have a business partner skip out on you or maybe you want to know about someone before they become your business partner? These are just a few of the situations in which you can need to find someone or find information about yourself or someone else.

I did some research into this area of information on people and it's very surprising how much information you can get on another person or yourself. In the past it was all closed information or it was a long slow process to find a person. But now with everything automated not only is there mountains of information but it is quick to get. There are agencies that their only business is people information. Some examples of the information available is people locators, adoption records, arrest records, driving records, credit reports, court records, contractor records, military records, FBI files, identify theft, dentist and doctor records. You can also find out where the computer is that is chatting with you or sending you email.

No need to worry about things so much. There is something you can do now. If you are concerned about who is chatting with your teenager on myspace you can find out if they are real or not. If you want to be sure of your nanny you can check on him or her. If you want to do background checks on your employees before you hire then you can do that. If it includes them driving you can check on their driving records. No need to spend time and money on phone calls and private investigators you can get the information yourself or find people yourself. You can have security and feel safe. You can get results. A good place to go is

    Background Checks


    Background Checks - Quintessential in Today's world Of Employment

    by: James Warden

    A background check is essentially a verification procedure. It is a method of investigating the past of an individual and his achievements and failures for the purpose of recruitment. This helps the employer to judge the validity of information furnished by the prospective employee.
    Any company must go through a proper and systematic background checking before making a hiring decision. Background checks have proved to be more beneficial and effective in comparison to personal interviews and information provided by resumes and Reference Letters.
    Background checks are organized methods of investigation, where the company follows a particular course of action by conducting a research work as par requirement disregarding additional unnecessary details. The requirement of screening by Federal or Sate Law has become necessary in most professional specifications.
    Background check becomes more crucial and indispensable when an employer has to select the best among several potential applicants. A correct detection, results in the gift of a worthy employee. In the United States, the Brandy Bill requires criminal background checks for purchasing handguns from licensed firearm dealers. Restricted weaponry items like machine guns and other explosives, suppressors and huge quantities of precursor chemicals and secret weapons permit also requires a thorough criminal background check.
    Background checks are also compulsory for those in positions of honor, greater responsibility and security. These include trucking, ports of entry and airline transportation.
    Background reports consist a variety of information beginning with the certification of an applicant’s Social Security number to a complete variety of specifications of the employee’s past accounts and connections. Some of the significant information generally included in background checks is public records formed by government agencies.
