Finding the elusive “true love” has sent more and more single individuals looking for their Romeos and Juliets on the Internet. But with the veil of anonymity that the Internet provides to potential partners, online dating could be very risky. There are pranksters, identity thieves, swindlers, sexual predators and plain liars scrambled all over the Web - and they might be the one who you’re planning to form a love affair with.

Intelius, Inc., the Washington-based market leader on information and protection services, empowering consumers to make more intelligent decisions every day, brings security to the realm of online dating. Powered by a huge database covering over 20 billion records, Intelius enables you to take a second look at who you might be associating with. Ensuring real-time results and instant access to this information for a minimal fee, you can screen potential partners and be assured that you are armed with accurate information before you decide on them. You can double check personal and professional information, criminal history, business assets, real estate records and address histories with just one click and on a pay-per-use basis.

Background checks on potential partners minimize the emotional and financial risks of online dating. A simple $50 Intelius background check can run you through an in-depth background on person’s 20-year address history, criminal records, personal information, real-estate transactions and other publicly available records. This process is more cost-efficient compared to assuming without investigating.

Intellius’ innovative products and services have helped people and business make the wisest choices they will ever make - from hiring the right people, to choosing your nanny or child care handler, to finding business associates, to accepting the right tenant or finding the best neighborhoods.

Founded in 2003 by Naveen Jain, a pioneer in the IT industry, Intellius has reaped recognition for its products and services. Its breakthrough identity theft prevention product IDWatch was named “Best Product of the Year” at the WSA Industry Achievement Awards.
