The New York Times > Technology > Circuits > Online Shopper: "First I was lured into promises of a free search, at a site called backgroundcheckgateway.com/public-records.html. You start out looking for Brad Pitt's driver's license and end up in a tutorial on how to search Earl Warren's papers at the California State Archives in Sacramento, www.ss.ca.gov/archives/archives.htm. I went to www.peopledata.com.
For $10 I could get all their telephone numbers as well as the numbers of 36 B. Pitts who were found. Paid $45 for an instant background check. In the end I ponied up an extra $5 for a satellite photo of my house. (A picture alone is $7 if you know the address.) Finally, I paid $65 for a premium public records search, which took about 24 hours to arrive and had even less information, although it did have a mistake."
