PeopleFinders’ New Website Runs Background Checks on Your Dates

PeopleFinders’ “Stud or Dud” service compiles public records—court filings, bankruptcies, tax liens, employment history, and criminal data—into a single report based on a name or phone number. The report separates finances, property, employment, and criminal background, adds an AI-generated summary and flag system, and offers an AI chat for dating tips. The platform cautions that the data could be misused by stalkers or other bad actors.
