In November I hired Locaters Plus to find my birth mother as well. I was in contact with Christine Dillon, a search specialist, who never had any information on my search.in April when I e-mailed Locaters Plus and didn't receive an e-mail back, I tried calling and the number was disconnected. The website had also been dismantled.
I did eventually receive an e-mail with an excuse as to why my search had not been done. I have copied the e-mail for everyone to read. I have contacted the company via their website (which is now up and running), but no one has gotten in touch with me regarding my search.
In fact, Christine stated that I would get a refund in May and there is no surprise that I am still waiting. I have recently found an arrest record for Perry Faraldi and apparently, he is a sexual predator and likes young boys. Unfortunately, the reason we have all been scammed is that Perry has been spending his time trying to to get into little boys' pants via the internet.

Dear Ric,
I sincerely apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Please be assured that we are doing everything that we can to get your search completed for you as quickly as possible.
We have had somewhat of a set back here with our searches. The person who sold you your search, Perry, has been arrested and has been in jail since February 22 on charges that have nothing to do with Locaters Plus.
Unfortunately, his arrest has slowed down our search process, due to that fact that he used one of our computers to commit his crimes, it was confiscated at the time of his arrest. We just recently were able to obtain a new computer for the completion of our active searches. We are not selling any new searches at this time. We don't feel morally that it is the right thing to do to continue to take new customers under the current circumstances. However, we are continuing to do our best to complete the ones that we have.
Please continue to be patient with us, as you most certainly have been thus far. It is greatly appreciated! I will let you know as soon as possible when we find any information regarding your search. Please continue to contact me at either email address of [email protected] or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Christine Dillon

Detectives charge 10 as sexual predators
Friday, February 25
By douglass crouse
staff writer
Detectives posing as children in Internet chat rooms snared 10 sex predators this week, including residents of Fort Lee and Lincoln Park, authorities said Thursday.
Investigators say the suspects visited online sites they knew to be popular with kids and engaged in sexual banter with "children" from ages 12 to 15.in some cases, authorities said, the suspects arranged meetings and described their intentions in graphic sexual terms. Several allegedly sent pornographic images of themselves.
What the men didn't realize, authorities said, was that undercover officers from the Passaic County Sheriff's Department - not children - were reading and responding to their messages.
Some suspects stated in messages or at the time of their arrest that they knew what they were doing was wrong, authorities said. One man from Union City allegedly told police he had dreamed of being arrested and acknowledged he needed help.
The department's Internet Crimes unit has brought charges against more than 50 alleged predators in its 16 months of operation, Sheriff Jerry Speziale said.in the latest arrests, the officers partnered with local police departments in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
"Our joint efforts have made the Internet Crimes Unit extremely effective in removing online threats, " Speziale said.
Charges against the latest suspects range from endangering the welfare of a minor to luring and enticing a minor to attempted sexual penetration. The most serious, second-degree offenses carry up to 10 years in prison upon conviction. All suspects were being held in the Passaic County Jail, with bail for the eight New Jersey residents set at $100,000.
Authorities identified the following suspects:
Perry Faraldi, 44, of Lincoln Park. He was arrested Tuesday. Authorities say he sent a photo of himself in underwear to what he believed was a 12-year-old boy and tried to set up a meeting. The suspect's family members could not be reached for comment.
Gary Neiman, 39, of Fort Lee. A sales manager at American Cargo Express, he was arrested Tuesday evening. He allegedly gave instructions on how to masturbate to what was, in his mind, a 14-year-old girl. Neiman's family members could not be reached for comment.
Leorant Marku, 21, of Farmingdale. The cleaning company worker was arrested Wednesday morning.
Dennis Powers, 56, of Galloway. The high school teacher was arrested Wednesday morning.
Bert Linkow, 44, of Edison. He is unemployed and was arrested Wednes-|day morning.
Joseph Pizanie Jr., 40, of Kearny. The truck driver was arrested Tuesday afternoon.
Omar Acevedo, 33, of Union City. The Continental Airlines employee was arrested Tuesday morning.
Hector Vilches, 44, of Eatontown. The operations manager with Eurokar Service was arrested Tuesday.
Steven Cunningham, 38, of New York City. The attorney was arrested Thursday.
Edwin Fritz, 45, of Stafford Springs, Conn. He was arrested Thursday.
The Passaic County's Sheriff's Department has a list of the suspects' screen names. Anyone who suspects someone they know may have been a victim can contact the department at (973) 881-7500.
