FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
VISTA,
CA - Vista attorney, Linda
Alexander, will be featured on CBS 48
Hours, Thursday evening, March 30, 2000, at 10 P.M.
Alexander has for more than two half years run a very successful web
business, WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com.
WhoisHe.Com
and WhoisShe.Com
provides comprehensive background checks, criminal and civil record searches.
According to Alexander, the website has had over 1.5 million hits in the last
year. People are swarming to use
this service to check out their online loves, dates and potential mates.
Although Alexander reports that the mainstay of inquiries involve cyber-romance,
she says that many seek facts about potential employees, business partners,
nannies, in-home health care workers and tenants--to find out if they are really
who they say they are. The cost of the service provided by WhoisHe.Com and
WhoisShe.Com range from $39 to $75.
The importance of playing it safe online was clearly shown last week in
Vista, when Thomas Abney was convicted of premeditated attempted murder,
robbery, auto theft and mayhem for his brutal assault on a local Vista woman he
met on the Internet.
Alexander says that the people using her services are trying to protect
themselves by verifying
if persons are who they purport to be. Are they married? How old are they? Have
they ever used an alias? Do they own property? Do they have any bankruptcies,
liens or judgments against them? Do they have criminal convictions?
The
concern for people meeting others in cyberspace is to be smart and safe: to be
in control of their future. To know what they are getting into before they
invest their heart, money, or their life," she sums up. "Information
is the key."
The site’s motto says it all
…..”When in doubt…..Check Them Out.”
The website can
be accessed at http://WhoisHe.Com and at http://WhoisShe.Com
