Service Helps Track Down Cheaters Online Site Gives Spouses Access To Private Im Chats

Cheating Spouses Online will tell you what you spouse is telling others online. (PRWEB) August 19, 2005 NewsCenter 5's Liz Brunner reported Wednesday that here's a new way to catch a cheater. Maybe you've seen instant message pop-ups before -- intimate questions from someone you don't know. Maybe you ignore them. Maybe you don't. Imagine having a conversation only to find out later that your suspicious spouse has a transcript of the entire thing. That's the service offered by a company called CheatingSpousesOnline. com. Your husband or wife pays them 29.95 to send you an instant message to bait you into a conversation, asking personal questions like: Have you cheated on him? Have you ever tried Internet dating? What went wrong in your marriage? Those questions -- and your answers -- are then sent via email to your spouse. A full transcript of everything you thought you had said to a stranger. "That's a complete invasion of privacy," one man said. "It means that people are spying on your conversations." In Massachusetts, you cannot tape-record a phone call unless you and the other person both agree, but attorney Brenda Sharton, of the law firm Goodwin Procter, said that the law regarding online conservations is not clear. "Courts will ask, how different is this than hiring a private investigator to go and speak to your spouse and see if you can get them into a conversation? It's probably easier in writing and on the Internet because of that anonymity," Sharton said. In a phone call, the owner of Cheating Spouses Online said, "I'm not concerned about how I'm portraying myself to be." Since she launched the Web site two months ago, she's had hundreds of inquiries and said that more men sign up for the service than women. She said that her goal is to save relationships, not end them. "It's kind of, kind of sneaky but you deserve to get something dumb happen to you if you're stupid enough to answer a personal question like that from someone you don't even know," one person said. # # #
