Intelius.com advertises itself as a background checking service. Clearly, if you're doing a background check on someone, you need to accurately identify that individual before ordering the report. I did just this -- let's call the individual "John P. Doe", age 28, Cleveland, Ohio -- but got a report that included information on "John B. Doe" and multiple other "John Does" from various places besides Cleveland. The point is that, while Intelius's reports do seem to include information about the individual you're researching, they also include a great deal of information about persons who may or may not be the individual you'are interested in. This makes information from Intelius essentially useless! Even reading the fine print (which I did), you simply don't learn up front that what you'll be getting is a dragnet of undifferentiated data. If Intelius' internt search strategies don't allow pinpoint accuracy in doing these so-called background checks, the "service" should not be advertised as such.
