Press Release Summary = Most states require criminal background checks for anyone
who works with children, the elderly, or disabled. Dr. Maclin provides online tools
to conduct thorough nation-wide background checks.

Press Release Body = What if your company needed to replace the Director of
Accounting and was fortunate enough to come across this really bright fellow who
everyone just loved? Let\'s say things worked out really well until several months
later, while conducting a random employee background check, you found out the new
Director had apparently failed to mention on his resume the fact that he was an
ex-con and had recently done time in a federal penitentiary for laundering money,
falsifying tax documents and other such felonies while working at another company
very similar to yours?

OK, these things happen, but let\'s say in your case, you were fortunate enough to
find this information before this individual had a chance to fall into some of his
old behavior patterns. Let\'s face it, that\'s the last thing you need is to have it
splattered across the business section that your company\'s been swindled by an
ex-con, who you hired.

These concerns are valid because things have changed in recent years; cases of child
abuse and abductions have resulted in new laws in most states, requiring criminal
background checks for those working with children. The terrorist acts of September
11th, and more recently, concerns for revising immigration laws have employers more
concerned with heightened security and identity-verification. And, false or
inflated information supplied by job applicants has become a news favorite; some
estimate 30%-40% of all job applications and resumes include some false or inflated
facts. Most states require criminal background checks for anyone who works with
children, the elderly, or disabled. And indeed, the federal National Child
Protection Act authorizes state officials to access the FBI\'s National Crime
Information Center (NCIC) database for jobs that require a security clearance.

Meanwhile, the need for a comprehensive, nation-wide, online search mechanism has
not been met by the larger, more traditional search engines. It appears that, by
trying to be all things to all people, their primary concern for commercial appeal
has overridden their concern for factual, objective information couched in the truth
-- and as a consequence, it has become more difficult to conduct a thorough
nation-wide background check.

This is why Steven A. Maclin, Ph. D., university professor since the early 1990s,
developed Cell-Phone-USA.com. While conducting research online, Dr. Maclin found
the need for a combined search engine/ directory/ set of online tools that would
recapture and facilitate the factual objectives of background checking.

Dr. Maclin uses a robust collection of online tools, informative articles, news
reports, and links to other websites that accentuate efforts to conduct a thorough
nation-wide background check. Such efforts will normally include evaluations of
driving records, property ownership, credit records, criminal records, drug test
records, sex offender lists, incarceration records, military records, past
employers, property ownership, bankruptcy and the like. To conduct such evaluations
effectively, huge databases of information are required.

Dr. Maclin recommends Net Detective, which boasts a 211+ million name database of
info that is updated every 1-3 months, so users get the most recent data available.
Most other such products either offer much smaller databases, rent the use of Net
Detective\'s database or, as Maclin explains, \" . . . they just simply fail to
update.\" Where many of the top services ask $50 or more, Net Detective offers an
award-winning array of online tools for a one-time fee of $29, and this allows users
to conduct unlimited number of searches.
