Kimberly Hall was twice betrayed by men she met dating online. Both turned out to be married.
So she started doing background checks on her dates using a Web site called Intelius. Now, the 33-year-old from Laurel is engaged to a man she met on Blackplanet.com, but even he had to undergo record checks.
“He wasn’t happy” about doing it, Hall said of her fiance. But eventually he turned over his Social Security number.
