Have you ever received harassing or annoying phone calls from an unknown number? This is a frustrating but commonly occurring experience, but luckily can be resolved with the use of a reverse phone number search. This search was created to trace a number back to the billing address associated with the number, in effect identifying the crank caller. Many of these searches are available online, but unfortunately there are a large number of fraudulent reverse phone lookup sites. There are many different markers of these scammer sites, but without the knowledge of what to look out for, it is too easy to be tricked by one of the phony sites.
The key to the successful functioning of these sites is enticing advertising. Many of the fake phone search sites will utilize enticing and unrealistic advertising in order to help them draw in customers. It should be stated in advance that because of the nature of a reverse search, it is truly impossible to have "instant" results. That being said, these phony sites will advertise for "instant" or "unlimited" results, when in fact this is the equivalent to admitting their illegitimacy. Many of these phony sites are able to offer instant results simply because of the resources they utilize to procure results. Often times they will use resources that are completely accessible to the public, like the white pages, to identify results. Not only will these search companies use information that you could have accessed through a simple 'Google' search, but they will also purchase outdated databases and sell the results as current information.
Potentially the biggest marker for a phony site, as mentioned earlier, is unrealistic advertising. When searching for a reverse phone number lookup site, evaluate their claims. Do they have bargain basement prices, along with offering instant results? Although it may be difficult, it is necessary to disregard these enticing prices and move on to a realistically priced service. Upon entering a site it is also important to identify the physical location and phone number of the business. Many scammer sites will neglect to post contact information including their phone number and address, not by accident either. These phony sites have mastered evading their disgruntled customers and a lack of or incorrect contact info is very effective way of doing this.
All legitimate private investigation companies that offer this search should have their private investigation license number listed on their website somewhere. Any business that lacks this certification is most likely a phony site, because you must be certified to access the information that is retrieved from a reverse phone number search. Remember to pay attention to the advertising, along with the contact information available. When looking to reverse trace a phone number it is important to find legitimacy, not a bargain price, because you will most likely get incorrect or no results and end up having to pay for an additional service.
