Hello, I am writing in an unusual case ... Some time ago, I used your services, and one of your employees face was familiar to me. At dinner with my wife, it turned out that he was a burglar, who 5 years ago broke into our home!!! This is ridiculous!!! How you can hire criminals? I found at least 3 bad entries for him at website for background check!! I am sure there are more!!! Please do something about it, things like that are ridiculous!!!
Hullo Kathie,
it is an unusual case. Seems though you have chosen the wrong website to air it. This acknowledgment of your comment is in case you come back. Wouldn't want you to feel ignored.
Best,
Arthur
