Under Naveen Jain's perceptive business sense, Intelius also leverages its potential for profit by selling direct marketing leads for the direct mail and telemarketing campaigns of advertisers. According to Intelius, customers of Naveen Jain's company have used the service to protect against identity theft, locate missing or unknown relations, protect against the anonymity of online dating, and investigate the backgrounds of childcare providers, healthcare employees, and independent contractors.
