How to research someone?

Post by tryingtobesafe »

What are the best ways to track down the legitimacy of an individual or company? I have a few names, a few company names, an email, and some phone numbers. I have tried numerous Google searches, I have identified the companies thru their respective State controllers, and I have run the names thru www.beenverified.com So far I have come up with very little information. Nothing bad so far, but nothing really good either – it’s like they are stick men on the internet.

If you want to post the information you have, several of us have access to records well beyond google searches.
