Magnum P.I. Starter Kit
How to be an online investigator
Back in the day it was assumed that you needed the following to find someone:* Red Ferrari
* Friend with a helicopter
* Rent free pad on a millionaire's estate
* Friend that owns a bar
* Hundreds of flowery Hawaiian shirts
* Hairy yet well-chiseled chest
* Detroit Tigers ball cap
* And most importantly, a virile and hypnotizing moustache
Though being cancelled in 1988, Tom Selleck's performance as the best-looking private investigator - ever, continues to make people wish they were Magnum PI. Now, you too can pretend, albeit in vain, to be just as cool and good looking as Tom Selleck (will never happen).
However, regardless of your experience level or sex appeal, computers and the Internets have teamed up to assist you in becoming a top notch investigator without that pesky Johnathan Quayle Higgins III looking over your shoulder.
Just go to one of your favorite people search sites and get your self a membership Sure, you are down one red Ferrari, but your wicked fast typing skills and Internet connection should make up for it.
Think your search has hit a dead-end? Magnum never gave up and neither should you, remember Season 1, Episode 7? Each People Finder Report comes with a list of possible relatives (aka "leads") for your search subject.

Why Tony Cohn Sucks as a Writer
Do you know what to expect when applying for a new job? Most job seekers are under the impression that employers only check the references listed on your resume or application. This is an inherently false assumption. A recent People Search News.com (http://www.peoplesearchnews.com)article reported that more than 80% of all business now performs comprehensive background checks on all potential employees, compared to less than half that number 10 years ago. Also, the size of the business does not necessarily determine if a pre-employment background check will be performed."Many companies, regardless of size, now use online data brokers to perform background checks on employees. Employers can get a comprehensive background report in less than a minute for under $40. This is not only cost-effective, but extremely convenient," said People Search News.com (http://www.peoplesearchnews.com)editor Guy Dubleche.
Employers can also not rely wholly on the interview process or references listed on a resume or job application to gauge a prospective employee. Therefore, a majority of employers are using online background checks to gauge a prospective employee's character and work ethic before making the decision to hire them.
What is in a Background Check?
First off, many people like to associate the term "background check" with criminal records. True, if a person does have a criminal background that information is likely to show up on a background check, but a comprehensive background check contains much more information than that.
According to the Web site PeopleFinders.com (http://www.peoplefinders.com)employers can obtain the following information when performing a background check:
· Age
· Addresses and phone numbers (20 year history)
· Real property ownership
· Aliases and maiden names
· Known associates
· Possible relatives
· Neighbors
· Marriage and divorces
· Bankruptcies and liens (judgments)
· National criminal records
· Employment history
How do Employers use this Information?
Employers use the information in background reports to get a picture of your character and trustworthiness. Besides the basics like past salary verification, work history and address history, employers can make general assumptions about your character based on information found in a background check. For instance, bad credit or late payments may lead some employers to believe that you are un-reliable. Also, employers may look at your address history and work history t

How to Perform a Free People Search
There are hundreds of Web sites that promise to help you find an old friend, classmate, lover, relative, etc. for free. However, once you try to use these sites to locate someone, you see that once again, nothing in life is truly "free". These sites will try to lure you in with the promise of a free search but will leave you like a dolphin in a tuna net by charging you for reports, memberships and other things that you don't need. However, I have discovered that you can possibly conduct your own people searches for free, or for about the cost of a Chalupa at Taco Bell, if you really work at it. Hopefully, our step by step guide will save you some money on your next search.For the purpose of this guide, let's use an old roommate that owes you money, a.k.a. "Guy ", as the person whom you are trying to locate. Let's also assume that "Guy" would be happy to meet with you to give you the money. Here is how the ideal free people search goes down: The first step in cheaply finding this Guy is to go to a people search web site. I use PeopleFinders.com, as they seem to be the most legit one out there and provide at least 100 results in an easy-to-read format. Anywho, go to the site's home page and type in your old roommate's name. Depending on how common his last name is, you will probably get a page anywhere from one to about 100 results.
From these results, you are on your way to locating your Guy. However, not every search will work in the exact same way so you have to learn to take what the results give you.
First, look for the city where you used to live with the Guy. If it is listed next to any of the names on the results page, then you know you have a handle on him. If you find it, your search may be over as all you then have to do is call 411 and ask for his number. You then can phone the Guy and arrange a pickup of your cash. Search completed, cost: long distance phone call, gas money to meet with Guy, five minutes of effort.
Your search may not have been so easy, however. Therefore, here is how the semi-ideal free people search goes down: If you couldn't find your Guy from the city that you used to live with him at, take a look at the list of residences again. Do any relate to your Guy? Possibly, could they be his old hometown or where he may have moved to? If so, then you can narrow down the list of results and proceed from there. Search completed, cost: long distance phone call, gas money to meet with Guy, ten minutes of effort.
Perhaps none of th
