These days, you can never be too sure of the background of the people you work around and with. Most of the times, all we know of people is all they told us themselves. If we had to entrust the security of our kids, businesses, homes or even our lives into the hands of anyone, we must be sure the person is free of criminal charges or indictments of the sort.
