On background checks.

To cut a long story short, I have reason to believe that a long-time family friend of mine is being scammed by a con artist, and I'm trying to do a background check on this person. Lots of online background check services say that they're free, but they really just mean that the search is free, and you have to pay to actually see what--if anything--has turned up. I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on how to proceed. I really don't want my friend to get hurt, but I also can't afford the cost of buying access to these public records.

Have you tried talking to someone at your local police department?

Unfortunately, the person in question lives in a different part of the state. I've been able to find out bits and pieces about them through the social media they use, but even that is pretty limited. They've (apparently) had a Twitter for years, but they've only got eleven posts on it and they're all the same ad for the same event over and over. Also, almost all of the pictures they have posted of themselves was apparently taken with a fisheye lens, so their features are distorted.

This seems simplistic, but could you google their name (or any related business ventures) and general area + scam?
