On Sunday morning I overheard an interview on Fox and Friends about a cell phone application that provides instant background checks for singles. At first I thought great idea; another tool to help our members. I finished watching the interview, wrote down some notes and then went online to find out more. Even though I would be promoting another company my initial reaction was to gather as much information as possible so I could share it with our members. After all, I’m here to keep you Safer in the City right?

But, all that positive thinking fizzled the more and more I researched the company behind the application, Intelius, and the application itself. Lets start with the company and mind you not much effort is needed to find something sketchy.

With just a quick Google search using the following words, “Intelius and scams”, I found an article in TechCrunch, from March 2009 describing a company swimming in consumer complaints and legal issues.

You’ll read that almost all of the customers complained of unauthorized monthly charges appearing on their credit or debit cards after paying for a one-time fee service on the Intelius site. Some even complained that the searches they initially paid for weren’t accurate and could not be used.

Now let’s explore the cell phone application that Intelius has just launched in October through iPhone, Blackberry and Android. There are five searches that are available to cell phone customers once the application is downloaded and this is where it got creepy for me. Although, I was okay with the first search called the “Sleaze Detector” which instantly checks for past criminal activity. But then I noticed the other four searches that instantly check for the following:

Net Worth

Property ownership information

Home details (bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, tax info)

Assessed property value

Compatibility

Birth Date

Horoscope and astrological

information

Interests

Social Network Info

Professional Info

Educational background

Living Situation

Names and ages of relatives, associates & roommates living at search subject’s residence

Reading through these searches made me nauseous. My initial thought was what a brilliant tool for a criminal! With just a name, phone number or email address Intelius can tell you all this information INSTANTLY. Now I understand that some of this stuff is available online in some way, which is another problem, but starting in October it’s easier then ever to gather it in an instant one stop shop.

Does anyone else have a problem with some stranger learning about your property ownership, assessed property value and the names and ages of relatives living in your home? What does that have to do with online dating girls? You would think marital status would have been number one on their search list but it was left out. I guess they felt learning the number of bedrooms and bathrooms was more of a priority then whether someone was married or single.

Now that we know this application is out there, here is some advice on what to do to block some of your information from being shared through this tool. Linda Criddle, the expert in my latest interview, “What the Fraud!”, talks about contacting local government agencies to request that your housing information remain private. Linda spent 13 years at Microsoft where she was a pioneer in online safety for mobile devices and PC’s for the MSN division. She advises that within your home town learn what is public knowledge and accessible through the internet and request that it be removed. Also, be sure to change the settings on your social networking sites so that only “connections” or “contacts” authorized by YOU can see your profile information.

One of the most common things that a guy wants to do when he spots a beautiful woman, is that he wants to be able to get her to notice him. You have to get the woman to notice you if you want to do more than just have a look. Yet, most guys end up doing all of the wrong things to try to get pretty girls to notice them.

Do you ever find yourself wondering why several guys are so good when it comes to girls, while others fail miserably? Do you think that the men who are effective in gaining female attention have particular special traits which make girls fall for them in an instant? The truth is: there are certain male characteristics that instantly appeal to the opposite sex. Fortunately, you can copy these characteristics quite easily.

They are re-entering college for various reasons.

In contrast, traditional college students are relying more on the textbook readings to provide examples and make points during the class discussion and project presentation.

It may take them a longer time to learn the basic computer functions and the use of computer application such as the word processing and internet browsing, which are common for traditional college students as they have just learned them in high schools. But, adult learners may be able to learn things that are related to life experience quicker than those young college students.

Unfortunately, ADHD in adults causes a set of symptoms that set a person up for problems in life with their finances and their relationships. Adults with ADHD often have problems with impulsiveness and temper such that they find it hard to keep a job. They may either fight with the boss and get fired, or quit the job suddenly when something goes wrong.

The same quick temper and impulsivity often keeps adults with ADHD from being happy in a permanent relationship. Therefore, ADHD in adults is characterized by divorces and separations, instability in job security, and financial difficulties. The impulsive behavior characteristic of ADHD in adults also contributes to many of them having problems abusing drugs or alcohol.

Children with ADHD are often treated with prescription stimulant drugs. These drugs are reported by some to be very similar to cocaine. In fact, it is said that researchers use Ritalin to research the effects of cocaine because the substances are so similar! Adults with ADHD do not make good candidates to treat with cocaine-like substances because many of them already have substance abuse problems. It is also doubtful whether these drugs are suitable for children!

Fortunately, there are natural remedies that are helpful for minimizing the symptoms of ADHD in adults. Actually, some ADHD symptoms can be positive characteristics in the right setting. Adults with ADHD sometimes are able to focus intently on a topic they enjoy. Their energy and enjoyment of activities with an element of risk involved can suit them for certain jobs, such as police officers. But the negative aspects of distractibility and the learning problems ADHD can create often require some sort of medical aid.

Herbal remedies work by supporting the normal brain functions rather than altering brain chemistry artificially. Natural cures help improve ADHD in adults by nourishing the brain and normalizing the nervous system. Nutrition and exercise help, too, of course, but adults with ADHD often have problems with self-discipline and self-control. An herbal remedy can calm them down enough to begin to get a handle on the challenge of changing eating and exercise habits.

The main thing is for adults with ADHD not to get discouraged and give up. There is help available, but your best line of action is not to treat ADHD in adults with stimulant drugs. Give the natural remedies a chance first.

What activities are included in their package?

An all inclusive adult vacation is a broad area. There can be a multitude of different activities in various packages.

Not every adult package is for every adult. Some may specialize in singles only packages. This is the perfect venue for single people to meet each other. Other packages are reserved for couples only.
