NEW YORK (AP) - Criminal records, once previously available only to
police and federal law enforcement, are now available to the general
public.
Bankruptcy records, DMV records, and various other civil records have
been made available to the public through the Freedom of Information
Act and the Patriot Act. People from all over America are now using
http://agentb.proniche4.hop.clickbank.net/ to view information on
potential employees, friends, and lovers.
"I never thought I would find information like this!" says Julia Lee,
who recently used the website to find out private information on a
potential business partner. "He was seriously in debt, and had pending
criminal charges!" she said.
Christopher Jones, of the Institute for Access to Information said
this opens up a whole new world to private citizens. "Previously, you
never had the ability to find out this kind of information."
"Now, anyone will have the ability to get any kind of records they
want, on almost any individual."

The Associated Press never distributed such a story. The spammers made it
up.
The AP would never use a link to "clickbank.net." The spammer is clearly
trying to get undeserved credit for referral linking to federal-records.org,
a *Canadian* pay Web site.
The same bogus article has also appeared in other newsgroups.
You'd think spammers would be smarter than to peddle such nonsense in
a group for frugal people.
