Check Him Out Washington Research Associates OVER 40,000 COPIES SOLD IN HARDCOPY FOR $21.95 (PLUS $3.00 SHIPPING). NOW AVAILABLE IN E-BOOK FORMAT FOR ONLY $11.95! CHECK HIM OUT! THE AMERICAN WOMAN'S GUIDE TO BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS (IN E-BOOK FORMAT) by W. Joseph Ryan Ladies! Never date a stranger unless you've checked him out first! Fortunately, a basic background check is an easy thing to do, via the telephone and the Internet. In just a matter of minutes, you can find out a great deal on your own about any potential date (or even your fiance' or husband) using the simple, free background check techniques described in our new "how-to" manual. Whether you met him via the Internet or in person doesn't matter as long as you know his name and address or telephone number. With just this small amount of information as a starting point you can quickly and confidentially answer questions like these, using free public records -- * Is he married/divorced? * Does he have any children? * Does he have a criminal record? * How much is he worth? * Is he an alcoholic or drug user? * What is his occupation? * Was he honorably discharged from the military? * Did he graduate from college? * What do people think of him? TODAY'S DANGEROUS NEW DATING GAME Why would a woman want to do a background check on her date, boyfriend or fiance'? The answer is simple: self-protection. In today's impersonal society, many women are dating virtual strangers, men they've met via the Internet, personals ads, or dating clubs. Often a woman knows nothing about a date (or even a boyfriend) other than what he's told her. But what if he's not being entirely truthful? What if he's in trouble with the law? What if he's much older or younger than he's claimed to be? What if his financial or marital status is different from what he's represented it to be? In the worst case scenario, what if he's physically dangerous? These are all valid concerns. Why should you date a man you know absolutely nothing about when you can quickly learn all you need to know using your telephone and home computer (or a public library computer)? Why take such unnecessary risks? Why commit your time and emotional resources to a man you hardly know?... CHECK HIM OUT FIRST! "Check Him Out! - The American Woman's Guide to Background Investigations" guides you through the entire background check process using clear, nontechnical language. You'll be amazed to learn that there's a lot that can be done just by using the telephone intelligently! Without even touching a computer, you can usually verify someone's name, address, age, occupation, and even marital status over the telephone if you know which government public records office to call and what information to ask for. Then if you want to dig deeper, you can get on the Internet and find out a great deal more fast! You can easily access free computer databases and services which will tell you all you need to know about the man's financial status and standing in the community, among other things. (And it's all confidential -- he'll never know you checked into his background.) Finally, if you decide you want a complete in-depth background check performed for you by a professional, the manual will tell you whom to call and how much it will cost you. (Caution: DON'T sign up for an "online background checking service." These fee-based background-checking websites, which have proliferated on the Internet recently, are overpriced, and often utilize outdated, unreliable information sources.) "Check Him Out!" is your best option if you're interested in learning about the "real person" you've been dating and are thinking about getting serious with. It's a simple, intelligent alternative to hiring a private investigator. "Check Him Out!" is written for you -- the American woman with no knowledge of public records and background checks, but with a need to do some quick basic checking. It's easy to follow, and while it won't make you a seasoned "gumshoe," it will make you quite knowledgeable about the subject and will teach you all you need to know to conduct a thorough basic background check on your own -- plus, it will show you where and how to get competent, reasonably priced help if you later decide you want a more complex, in-depth background check done. All this for $11.95 is hard to beat! Yet that's not all. The manual covers more than just background check techniques. You'll also find a chapter on how to catch a cheating boyfriend or spouse (based on information provided by experienced private detectives). Another interesting chapter reveals how eye movements and body language can suggest whether someone (e.g., a boyfriend) is lying to you. Dating someone new? Thinking of getting serious about a man you've known awhile? Better check him out! For only $11.95 you'll be taking a valuable precaution -- and there's even a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you're not satisfied. CHECK HIM OUT!
