Every day, private, sensitive information about you is bought, sold and stored on numerous private and public servers across the country.
Once information is out there, it’s out there.
Many people are curious about their own private data in the public sphere, or past actions that might come back to haunt them.
Performing a background check on yourself is one way to prepare and get ahead of any potential future problems.
There are a number of paid web sites that offer online background checks. These are nearly always low-quality reports created from only pieces of information – with no quality assurance or professional review.
Martin Investigative Services uses more, current data sources. We can discover assets and accounts, worldwide. And your results are personally reviewed by private investigators who are former DEA, FBI, IRS, and Secret Service agents.
Your cell phone number is increasingly used by information brokers as the window to your private information that is maintained by almost all business corporations, financial institutions and social media networks.
For the past 35 years the key to this kingdom of information was your social security number – a legally regulated piece of information.
Your cell phone number is not regulated and no companies are mandated to keep it private.

I gave my cell number to private investigator Thomas Martin, a former federal agent and now president of Martin Investigative Services in Newport Beach, Calif., and asked him to do his thing. A few days later a three-pound, 150-plus-page dossier arrived at my front door via FedEx. Martin didn’t trust regular mail given the nature of what it contained, which was tons of my private information.
“We didn’t even scratch the surface,” Martin told me later. He also made a point of telling me that I was “cleaner than a Safeway chicken.”
