The Department of Justice, on behalf of the FTC, has sued a marketer of background reports, alleging that the company deceived consumers with "teaser background reports" that often falsely claimed to include information about individuals' arrest, criminal, and sex offender records, and engaged in misleading billing and marketing practices.

According to the complaint, filed in the Central District of California, the marketer sells consumer background reports through the website, www.mylife.com. The site allows users to run free background searches on individuals. Defendants promote the use of MyLife background reports for use in determining an individual's eligibility for employment, loans, and housing.
