A little over a year ago, I used Intellius to do a background check on a man who was interested in having a relationship with me. The check came back clear, and I let the man become involved in my life - not sexually - but as a friend. As time went on, he began to contradict himself more and more until I finally realized that almost all of what he had represented himself to be was false. I ended up in counseling and a wreck and very angry.
My counselor checked public records (I did not know anyone could do that) and this man had an EXTENSIVE criminal record (including assualts). While Intellius claims to use all public records available, they obviously do not. They have refunded what I paid for them, but I am out for the counseling fees and several months of confusion and anger.
