NEWSWIRE TODAY - Apr 22 - Recently, Match.com announced they are going to start screening new members against the national sex offender registry in response to a lawsuit brought by a woman who says she was attacked by a man who had been charged with sex crimes. Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove Matchmaking, weighs in, “Screening new members against the national sex offender registry may give a false sense of security.” He continued,“Profile authentication is a challenge for internet dating sites as there is no way to confirm that a person is who he/she claims to be and that they do not have a criminal record. The human element is necessary for member authentication.” eLove Matchmaking has been conducting mandatory criminal background checks for over a decade and, because they meet each and every member, require positive identification and get to know their members, they are better able to authenticate member profiles. Those who don't pass the checks aren't granted membership.

It's perfect for the online dating community as they won't have to be scared anymore about meeting the people they find online in real life. I've always went on these dates a bit fearful because I didn't know anything my dates' past and so these background checks will keep the criminals, freaks and rapists away from the community.
