How many people get involved with others and find out later that the relationship was built on lies and/or half truths (more lies)? Have you ever met someone who threw on the charm and seemed so picture perfect? Then the facade crumbles and they're a damn nightmare. Last year I briefly touched on the part time detective agency that Ms. Chay and I are getting off the ground (lol) In reality there are cases to be cracked. I mean you really wouldn't believe some of the foolishness people fall for and then attempt to defend on a daily basis.
The other day I overheard my friend on the telephone. The young lady on the other end of the line wanted to know some rather important details about her significant other. My friend answered her questions, but the best advice she could have given the young lady was to use certain resources in order to obtain information. Most of the information today is "PUBLIC RECORD" as she put it. These days we use the Internet for everything. If you ask me a question and I don't know the answer the first thing I will say is "Google It". It has just become that routine. If I want to find out information that is not being offered why not do my research. So I'm going to urge you to do the same. I'm not saying be a snoop, but if someone approaches you or they are new in your life what is the harm in looking them up. In society new hires are required to have background checks? Well consider this the same type of protocol.
Ladies (and Fellas) we need to do better! If you meet someone do your research. Even if you are hesitant to believe what someone is telling you just do more research. A few important points that may stand out when doing research on someone may include, but not limited to Criminal History, News or Current Events about the person, Financial History, and etc. For most people these areas are deal breakers. While some people hang on to stories people make up as they go along. Don't be victim to liars and fakers. Know the facts before it is too late!!
