Who Are You Dealing With? \u00a0– July 9, 2015<\/p>\n
We hear about scams and ripoffs all the time.<\/p>\n
And so often, we think “That could never happen to me.”<\/p>\n
But the reality is that it can (and does) happen to anyone.<\/p>\n
Are you taking on a new client, getting involved in a new investment, partnering on a new venture?<\/p>\n
How do you know who you are actually dealing with?<\/p>\n
A little due diligence may save you a lot of time, money, and stress down the road.<\/p>\n
A litigation search may turn up previous actions the person\/organization has been involved in, which can provide clues to their character.<\/p>\n
A lien or judgement search may turn up debts and actions that have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n
A criminal records search may turn up unsavory conduct that the party is or has been involved in.<\/p>\n
A title search may turn up that the big, flashy house is either rented or mortgaged to excess.<\/p>\n
A simple Google Search may turn up articles, posts, comments – all providing an indication of what kind of person or organization you are dealing with.<\/p>\n
Check out this example – a lot of smart people were taken for a lot of money.<\/p>\n
