Wow! I just happened to google the name of the person and I could not believe the information found (sorry but I won't post the name but its easy to see in the ad). If you are thinking of letting anyone in your home please check out the internet. It just might save you from troubles in the future!

I normally do not post things like this, but do a little looking to protect yourself and your property.
This interested me because I have a cleaning business up north. As a fluke I googled my name just to see what it would say. To my surprise they said I had an arrest record and had been arrested twice. I have never been arrested in my life.

For a fee of $60 I could find out what I was supposedly arrested for, but choose not to know seeing as I'm innocent.

Knowing, if my name is googled and an arrest record comes up concerns me because its not correct information. I wonder what, if anything I can do to change this? I'm definitely going to investigate this further.

After searching my name with false results causes me to question the validity of google searches.

Oh my, I will be up all night knowing my good name is being slandered.
