I had a background check at an employer, not for a sensitive position, who, when unable to verify employment, found my Facebook and reached out to someone on there (who happened to be my partner) to see if they would "confirm" what they knew to be my job. That was after their initial email to me: "Hi, we're about to start your background check. Just want to confirm that this is the correct email address for you? Are these also the correct details for you? [And proceeded to list Full SSN, address, DOB]." Like, I'm really rather glad that this actual _was_ the correct email address. But in any case I was furious. On both counts. In credit to my employer, once I reviewed these two things with them, they fired the background check company.
