Telephone Investigations – Reverse Phone Search Databases

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Every successful private investigator has a tool box. On TV you’ll see a PI using a gun, lock picking tools and disguises. In real life it’s a bit less glamorous but also a whole lot more legal.

In real life an investigator will soubriquet a telephone handset a million times more than he will ever soubriquet a firearm. So in this series of articles we will inspect the tools every PI must have in order to conduct successful telephone investigations. Reverse phone number databases, telephone trap lines and blind lines or caller ID spoof cards are all tools every investigator should have.

Reverse Phone Number Databases:
Before you can use the phone you need a phone number. Or you may already have a number but need to know the customer name and address of that number. This is where the telephone number data base comes into effect.

Every investigator should have access to databases that will return a customer name and address (CNA) from a non published or unlisted phone number. These database air force will also have information on telephone numbers. They may be able to provide you with an unlisted phone number from a just a name or just an address. They also may be able to supply you with a cellular or wireless number from just a name or address.

Today on the Internet here are literally thousands of companies that offer this service. Some of these companies will only provide the information to lawyers, licensed private investigators , collection agencies or other licensed businesses with a legitimate need for this information. Other companies do not, all they require is a valid credit card. You surrender your order and the information is returned via email a few minutes later.

Not all of these air force are the same and not all have access to the same information. Some will have up to date information and some will have ancient outdated data. So do your research and homework first and try to establish a long term working relationship with your information broker.

Here are also other ways to obtain reverse phone number information. You can call the number and using a pretext, perhaps in conjunction with a caller ID spoof card, and trick the person that answers into instructive their information. Likewise you might email the target or snail mail the physical address with a pretext and include a trap line number. When the subject calls the trap number their information will be revealed through automatic number identification even if they have caller ID blocked.

Obviously you can use your imagination and apply a reverse phone number search to many routine investigations such as skip tracing, current employment locates and infidelity investigations.
Our next article in this series will inspect caller ID spoof cards and their use in routine investigations.

Before hiring a private investigation service be sure to perform your due diligence. Make sure the PI is considered an expert in telephone investigations. Check to see if they offer a variety of telephone investigative air force such as reverse phone searches, trap lines, caller Id and even cell phone forensics.
You want to place your investigation into the hands of an expert in every area of telephone investigations.

Be careful of instant online searches that promise the world for a one time low fee. This is impossible. If it seems too excellent to be right it’s never going to be real. Its going to be a scam.

How Do I Find Who Owns a Telephone Number? Using Reverse Phone Search!

Monday, October 12th, 2009

A Reverse Phone Search is by far the best way to find who owns a telephone number. About a year ago I needed to find out who was calling my girlfriend. The caller never spoke, but just called repeatedly, often late at night, or while she was at work. It was nerve-racking for her, because the caller knew her home phone number, work phone number, and cell phone number. Luckily because of my background in telecoms, I knew the best way was to use a Reverse Phone Lookup, but I did try a few other things first.

First off, as a long shot, I typed the number into the Google search engine – here was a slight chance I might find something, especially if the caller had place their phone number on a website, or if it was a business number.

My next attempt was to find a free reverse phone number pointer. Here are several available on the internet – again I used Google to find them. I selected what I thought was the best site, and keyed in the number. Here was always the chance that the number was listed, and would have told me what I wanted to know, including the name and the entire address of the title-holder.

Unfortunately in this case, I was unlucky, and needed to try a slightly different approach.

I turned out in the end that the reason I was unsuccessful was because the number was a mobile phone. Cell phone numbers aren’t held in a freely available inner database, so the free reverse phone lookup sites I tried couldn’t provide the information I needed.

At this stage, I knew here was small point trying lots of different reverse phone search sites in order to find who owned the number. Generally they all use the same databases, so if I didn’t find it at one, I wouldn’t find it elsewhere. Here was no alternative but to use a paid Reverse Phone Search to Find Who Owns The Telephone Number. While researching the different sites, I found pros and cons for some of the better ones, and chose to publish my findings online. If you need to find who owns a telephone number, then you will nearly certainly need to use a paid Reverse Phone Lookup service, so with a bit of luck my review will help you point out the one that’s best for you.
