Cell phone GPS tracking can also be a useful feature to the emergency services or police when responding to a 911 call from a GPS cell phone. Picture the scene of a road accident where injuries have occurred. Cell phone GPS tracking is also a boon to the police force and emergency medical services when they need to respond to an emergency call from a GPS mobile phone. Such calls are known as E911 calls, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has legislated that wireless networks provide location information for 911 calls made from cell phones.

Cell phone GPS tracking can therefore be a useful feature for business owners and fleet managers who need to be able to keep track of their vehicle movements. Cell phone GPS tracking capabilities can even show you the shortest possible way to get to your destination. 

Cell phone GPS can pinpoint the location of a cell phone within about five meters, which is up to ten times the accuracy given to us by triangulation.  Global Positioning Systems (GPS) enables the users to trail his own location through the analysis of satellite signals beamed down from many satellites. Cell phone GPS system tracking has been a part of the technology that makes of cell phones since 2005. Locating someone is a popular job for a lot of detectives and cell phone GPS tracking is one thing that can make this task a lot easier.

Background checks have proven to be beneficial both to employers and employees. They prevent future damages that could be caused by negligent hiring. As an employer, you are given the responsibility to screen all the people that will be involved in your business. You are expected to anticipate potential problems that could occur in the future especially those caused by new employees. If an employer fails to do so and therefore inflict damage on the company and its employees, the company owner could be sued for Negligent Hiring. Statistics have shown that 70% of lawsuits on Negligent Hiring cases are lost by the company owners. These facts just reinforce the importance of pre-employment background checks on employment decision-making.

There are several other incidences (aside from negligent hiring) that a background check can protect you from. Statistics from the Bureau of Justice has shown that 67% of criminals released from jail were rearrested for at least a single serious crime with the next 3 years and that almost 60% of sex offenders are under parole in the United States. According to the New York Times, 70% of illegal drug users have full time jobs. And according to a national survey by the University of Florida, American employees steal about $10.4 million from their employers over a one-year period. Now think about it, would you entrust any of these people with your business?

Background checks are also used to verify educational degrees, professional licenses, references and past employment records that applicants put in their resumes. According to the American Psychological Association, 67% of resumes in the United States are falsified or “enhanced”. Hence, resumes should always be double checked and validated with other sources to prove the applicants credibility and character.

I trust that you now understand just how important an employment background check is as a part of the hiring process. As the employer, you are responsible in protecting your business and your employees from potential dangers brought about by negligent hiring.

How to identify junk faxers 

The good news is that you can always find out who is sending you the junk faxes if you follow the steps below.

First use this page: How to identify the fax broadcaster

If you get an unsolicited fax, follow this procedure (one of the first three is almost always guaranteed to work):

- Have the phone company put a call trap on your line. When you get a fax, you dial a special code after receipt or keep a call log and enter it periodically. They can then release this information to the police/sheriff and the police/sheriff will release it to you or your attorney in response to a subpoena. You can have the information you want within days and it's admissible and credible in court. We highly recommend this. See the Q&A for more on traps.

- The simplest way to find out who they are is to pretend you are actually interested in their offer and try to fool them into giving you their real address, e.g, you don't have a credit card and need to mail them a check or you are the purchasing agent at your company and you have to have an address to send the Purchase Order. Be creative. Only problem is that this strategy only potentially identifies the advertiser and not the fax blaster...

- Highly recommended: Use Intelius which offers a very comprehensive set of searches and is very similar to Docusearch. Unlike Docusearch they can trace the source of a fax call into your phone number.  Instant Landline, VOIP, Fax, Payphone, Toll free, Mobile or Cell phone directory Assistance.  You can instantaneously search through publicly available resources for name and/or address of any residential, business, cell, internet, fax, mobile, pager or pay phone including name, current address (when available), phone company, connection status and more.

- For pump and dump faxes, here's a possible approach. A few months after the fax appears, take a look at the price and volume graph for the stock. Also goto sec.gov and lookup filings by the issuer. I did this last night for an issue that a client of mine got a fax for last September and turned up the marketing agreement under which the presumptive faxer got the shares he dumped. Other filings to look for would be insider or high-volume purchases or sales, which must be reported.
