As much care as some of the dating sites take to ensure the safety of their members, negative elements find loopholes even faster. There are some reputed dating sites that perform back ground checks on every member. However, sex offenders have found a way to bypass these checks.
On the other side of the fence, there are many dating sites that do not perform any sort of checks; however, most daters are of the opinion that these checks are performed by all the dating sites. Some of them, even the checks they perform are only superficial.
The loophole that is used by most sex offenders and other negative elements to not come up in the back ground checks, is the one letter change that online dating sites are unable to detect. For a criminal to change his status to a person with no criminal records, it only takes a one letter change in their name or change one number in the date of birth or even in their social security number.
Since the sex offender records and other criminal databases are indexed by the name and date of birth and the social security numbers identify the individuals with the name, changing one letter or digit will not show any results in the back ground checks. This is the worst thing that can happen as it could mean that the worst sex offenders and criminals gain access to the dating sites and pose a threat to members of the opposite sex.
