Should I Invest in a P2P Lending Company?

I have read many reviews recently of P2P Lending companies and I am trying to decide whether to invest some of my savings into such a scheme. It seems that there are many drawbacks with this sort of investment as it can be very risky if you’re not prepared to do a full background check on the people that you are going to loan money to. I therefore think that it is very important that I am able to invest in a company that lets me have full access to the customer records of the people who have applied for loans. Without this knowledge there is no way that I would be prepared to invest money into P2P loans as I feel that there is too much potential for being ripped off by people who have no intention of paying back their loans in the first place; I strongly feel that there needs to be some sort of system in place by the government that will be able to make the scamming of P2P companies a criminal offence.
