DateMate Provides Added Security for Online Daters
CULVER CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Today USSearch.com (www.ussearch.com) launched "DateMate," a new
search suite providing online daters and social networkers the added
peace of mind and security that only comes from accurate background
information. DateMate provides online daters important information
about their prospective date's history, including marriage and divorce
records, criminal records, civil litigation, bankruptcies, and major
asset ownership. The DateMate suite combines three search types -
criminal background, public records, and assets - into one
comprehensive report.

Online dating is increasingly popular but the risk associated with
moving online relationships to in-person meetings should not be
ignored. Online dating and social networking allow people to meet each
other with a degree of anonymity which can be useful as people get to
know one another. However, this anonymity also creates an information
gap. Sites that introduce potential partners in a virtual world cannot
provide the level of assurance once provided by traditional sources
such as friends and family. How does one judge another's suitability
without this corroboration?

"More and more, we are finding that people dating online want to
confirm that the person they are getting to know online is really who
they say they are. Do they have a criminal record? Have they been
married or divorced? Are they financially stable?," says USSearch.com
Group President Rod Stoddard. "It is a matter of being careful, of
confirming your trust. If you knew that the person you were
communicating with online had an unsettling background, would you
still want to meet that person?"

The DateMate suite provides valuable information that helps
consumers make sound decisions. It requires only a few pieces of
information, such as first and last name, and takes seconds to order.
DateMate is available on US Search.com for $24.95, a small price to
pay for peace of mind.
