from what you are saying, the ones you pay for that are available to the general public are not completely accurate?

I would assume that theres a big difference in someone doxing their name and address but if they didn't give out their SS number and someone happen to have it, passing that around would be a shitty thing to do.
Those search ads you see all over the internet are the same as typing someones name into goggle. All their doing is getting paid to do it for you. If their were 50 Rob Singers listed you would get all of them. SS numbers separate the Men from the Boys when it comes to searches. Posting someones SS number is a definite NO NO. A license ID number could also go a long way in a certain specific state, but not help with financial information.

As a business owner it is important to have permission from an employee to do a search. The more personal information you could enter into the search the more information you will receive. Financial information usually requires a SS#. Having a signed stipulation agreement prior to search will usually protect you.

There are all sorts of protection laws including I think the 4th amendment to protect people when it comes to different types of searches. It's a grey area and should be approached with knowledge and caution. A cop searching a person without proper cause usually gets charges dismissed.

P.S. Any information anyone including Maxdepends and Kiwlj could get from cheap search engines on the internet most likely are garbage and un-confirmed. Employers for example pay serious money for serious search engines since that information could be the difference between getting hired or not, and potentially lead to a court case.
We could not get any information about my friend via a Google search, but whatever paid service we used... did the trick. I don't know which one it was since I didn't do the searching, I just helped pay for it.

From what I know about MaxPen, he isn't cheap and I would assume he did his research, he is a pretty thorough guy. That's doesn't mean his is any better than all the other ones I'm fairly certain it was good enough for what he actually needed it for at the time. So not to be confused, the one we use was totally different than the One Max uses, or at least I'm assuming that since I don't know the names of any of them.

Are there services that you can pay for at a reasonable price that are good? If so, do you know which ones and how much are we talking about?

Regarding the Rob singer stuff, it's to my understanding that Rob actually admitted some of those things people found out about him, but he had an explanation.
For example, there was no property or expensive vehicles in his name, or some s*** like that. He said that's because he put it all in his children's name or something like that. I'm sure there's some other things, but I don't remember. I only bring this up because I'm curious how accurate the service they used actually were. I think it's pretty well-known that they got the correct Rob singer. And that's not even his real name, obviously.
