Online Dating Investigations

In today's day and age, more and more people are turning to online dating applications to find their significant others. Websites and apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and eHarmony have expanded our range of potential partners exponentially and made it easier than ever to land a date. Although this revolution in dating has come with tremendous benefits, dating apps also bring with them incredible new dangers.

If you meet someone in person, you can assess that person's appearance and demeanor firsthand; whereas, in an online setting, it is very hard to know if the person across the screen is telling the truth. It has become common for people in the online dating space to lie about different aspects of their life. Studies found that a whopping 53% of people lie on their online dating profiles. These people lie about their jobs, their past (people often lie about their criminal history), how much money they have, their age, their intent, and some will even go as far as lying about their identity.

Even worse than that, a whole 10% of new profiles are actually fake and are strategically created with the intent of fraud. Online dating scams are real and are legitimately a threat to all users. With all this deceit and dishonesty going on in the online dating space, the smart thing to do is look into an online dating investigation to ensure the person you met is who they say they are.

Our online dating investigations help to reveal a person's true identity and hard facts about them. Our private investigators can conduct an in-depth and comprehensive background investigation to provide information such as:

• Biographical information including residence history, age, and marital status
• Criminal history and sex offender registry searches
• Civil litigation searches including domestic violence complaints, and harassment cases
• Financial history analysis, including signs of financial stress, such as bankruptcy filings or unsatisfied judgments and liens
• Property ownership and vehicle registration
• Court and driving records
• Education verification
• Employment verification
• Phone account verification
• Social media and negative news

Don't be manipulated by liars and scam artists in the realm of online dating. Trusting that someone will have good character when all you know is their digital persona can leave you financially ruined, emotional hurt, or worse. Whether it’s you, your friends, your relatives, or your children, every online dater should know the hard facts about who they’re talking to.
