If so, I can guarantee you're not the only one. It can be a scary world out there and with Internet dating being so <STRONG>preval‎ent</STRONG>, it's easier than ever to become anyone you want, leaving the past behind you. You can lie about past experiences, relationships, even careers, which is why so many women are either <STRONG>Googling</STRONG> new suitors or going as far as getting background checks to make sure they aren't <STRONG>getting the wool pulled over their eyes</STRONG>. According to an </FONT></FONT></FONT><A href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=2788173&page=1" target=_blank><FONT face=arial color=#000000 size=2><U>article on ABCNews.com</U></FONT></A><FONT face=arial><FONT color=#000000 size=2> you can log onto sites such as the Corra Group, a Los Angeles-based company that launched a website for dating-related background searches, and get all the answers you need.<BR></FONT></FONT>

For $20 more, the search includes criminal records, and an $89 fee gets you a nationwide federal crime search.<BR></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV class=entry><FONT face=arial><FONT color=#000000 size=2>While this might seem like an excessive measure, it's always better to be safe than sorry. So let me ask you this: Would you ever run a background check on your new boyfriend, or do you feel like your intuition is strong enough that you wouldn't have to go to such extremes?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
