Stalking a Serious Problem for 3.4 Million In America?

January 14th, 2009

Stalking and Reverse Lookup
Being stalked may be something that most of us never even think about but occurs more than we think. There are varying degrees of what we may consider stalking but most states have laws spelling out what is and is not stalking. The truth is stalking is much more common than most believe.

An estimated 3.4 million Americans identified themselves as victims of stalking during a one-year span, according to federal crime experts who on Tuesday released the largest-ever survey of the aggravating and often terrifying phenomenon. DAVID CRARY, AP

The survey itself was designed to dig deeper into the different forms of stalking which had not been specifically defined in earlier studies. What researchers found was the most common type of stalking, which they defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person on at least two separate occasions which would cause fear, was the act of unwanted phone calls. The reported incidence of phone stalking was 66% of those surveyed while the next closest complaint was email stalking coming in at 31% of those surveyed.

Now there is always a margin of error but the study showed that unwanted phone calls were happening at a rate double than that of other forms of stalking. Perhaps this is due to the relative anonimity afforded to the caller. Most people who would resort to such an act are probably not calling for landline phone which would show up on a caller ID, or would at least engage a *67 technique to mask their identity.

The best way to make someone stop phone stalking you is to get their number, call them and tell them to stop. Once their identity is known it is usually enough to get a prankster to stop. Remember, the definition of stalking is two unwanted incidents so a prankster, though probably not meaning harm, falls into the category.

People looking to instill real fear into you might be a little more difficult to avoid. Their intention is to bother you for some reason and they are probably a little more devious than your average prankster. If you are able to determine their phone number, you may wish to call the police and file a report. If their phone number is unlisted you may wish to use a call trace service or a reverse look up. These services will give you public information for free and you might be able to identify the number.

If the caller is using a cell phone to make the annoying or frightening calls, you will need to use a pay search by phone number service because cell phone numbers are not listed in 411 directory. The information is considered private so it is not published but you are legally allowed to access the numbers through data bases. They just happen to charge a small fee. You will be able to run a reverse lookup and quickly get the number of any cell phone owner and report them to the authorities.

If you even suspect you are being stalked maliciously you should follow your instincts and report it to the police. Even if it turns out to be nothing, you are better safe than sorry. Even reporting minor incidents is wise because if they escalate, the police will have record of other unwanted contact earlier on and will have more people to stop the person legally.

The study was described as a groundbreaking effort to analyze the scope and varying forms of stalking, which had not been featured in previous versions of the National Crime Victimization Survey.
The researchers defined stalking as a course of conduct, directed at a specific person on at least two separate occasions, that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. The most commonly reported types of stalking were unwanted phone calls (66 percent), unsolicited letters or e-mail (31 percent), or having rumors spread about the victim (36 percent).
More than one-third of the victims reported being followed or spied upon; some said they were tracked by electronic monitoring, listening devices or video cameras.
Nearly 75 percent of victims knew their stalker in some capacity — most commonly a former spouse or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
Women were far more likely than men to be stalking victims, and people who were divorced or separated were more vulnerable than other marital categories. People aged 18-24 were more likely to be stalked than older people.
Victims reported suffering a range of emotions because of the stalking. Their most common fears included not knowing what would happen next (46 percent) and fearing the stalking would continue indefinitely (29 percent). Nine percent of the victims said their worst fear was death.
According to the report, about 130,000 victims said they had been fired or asked to leave their job because of problems arising from the stalking. About one in eight of all employed victims lost time from work, either for fear for their safety or to pursue activities such as seeking a restraining order or testifying in court.
Mary Lou Leary, a former federal prosecutor who is executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime, said she was struck by the persistence of some of the stalking behavior depicted in the report.
“When you consider the impact that stalking has on a victim’s life, five weeks is forever — five years is incredible,” she said. “They often have to give up their current life, leave their jobs, their homes, establish a whole new identity.”
Leary credited law enforcement authorities with taking stalking serious, but she said more needs to be done to strengthen anti-stalking laws and to expand the resources to combat it.
The federal government and all 50 states have enacted laws making stalking a crime, but the laws and definitions of stalking vary widely.
The survey’s authors tracked a range of stalking behaviors, including waiting for the victim at a certain location, sending unwanted messages or leaving an unwanted present.
“While individually these acts may not be criminal, collectively and repetitively these behaviors may cause a victim to fear for his or her safety or the safety of a family member,” the report said.
About 40 percent of the victims reported the stalking to the police, and about one-fifth filed charges.
The largest previous study of stalking, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2005, estimated that 7 million women and 2 million men in the U.S. had been stalked at some time during their life. It found that violence was committed against the stalking victims in at least 25 percent of the cases.

Who Can See My Phone Records

December 23rd, 2008

Who Can See My Phone Records

Phone records are made up of call logs and text logs. A call log will contain information about calls such as date, time, recipient, general location, and the length of the call. A text log is more general and is more or less a quick wrap up of a call containing the date, time, and call recipient. Contrary to popular opinion there is no real difference between Cell Phone records and Landline phone records.

It is important to point out that phone records are not for sale. In fact, selling phone records is Illegal. When using reverse white pages, companies that provide cell phone trace services do not provide phone records and do not have access to them. Here’s what AT&T has to say about it on their Cell Phone Records Security Page:

As you may have read or seen in the media, a number of websites are advertising the availability for sale of wireless phone records. Please know that AT&T does not sell customer information to, or otherwise cooperate with, these companies, and we are working aggressively to combat their practices. AT&T has filed lawsuits against several of such companies, and has obtained restraining orders prohibiting them from obtaining  customer information or providing it to anyone.  AT&T

AT&T and other major cell phone service providers are leading the charge against the perception that actual cell phone records are being bought and sold, and Trace A Cell Number fully supports this effort. The major cause of public’s misconception has been due to the fallout of the George W. Bush scandal involving the NSA and domestic spying allegations in 2006. The media claimed major cell phone providers were assisting the Bush White House by providing cell phone records which would allow the government to effectively “listen in” on ordinary Americans.

So who can see my phone records?

Besides yourself, only the phone company and their affiliates have access to your phone records. Service Providers my use third party partners to due billing and other tasks. These companies are known as affiliates and they cannot buy or sell phone records.

However, phone companies can take the public information from records and repackage it for sale to marketers but this data is so stripped down it can be found anywhere. Each telephone company does provide opt out solutions for customers if they choose to remove their information from these lists.  Service Providers are also required to cooperate with subpenas and other official requests from government agencies.  This is what had initially raised questions regarding cell phone records and the National Security Agency.

So, the phone company, certain government agencies, and to some extent marketing companies have access to your cell phone records. Anyone who is advertising the sale of information on the open market is not selling phone records. They are actually selling public information compiled from several sources.

This is completely legal but often misunderstood. In this day and age we often give out our information to several entities for many different reasons. Reputable reverse white pages and cell phone numbers search companies simply cast out a wide net over several public sectors and reel the information into very specialized and complete databases. Accessing one of these cell number lookup companies should be very inexpensive compared to buying pieces of information from scattered sources.

People use this information to identify the owners of cell phones that call into their phones from numbers they do not recognize. It is important to be able to know who is on the other end of the phone especially if you are being harassed for some reason. Using a company to find people by phone number is a great and legal way to access information.

Can Telemarketers Call My Cell Phone

December 20th, 2008

Can Telemarketers Call My Cell Phone

Telemarketers calling cell phones has been a hot topic of late. The debate stems from some nasty rumors circulating on the internet and I’m the first to admit I fell for them.

Telemarketers cannot legally call a cell phone number the way they can a regular phone listing. Cell phone carriers have always toyed with the idea of creating a 411 directory for cell phones but have yet to do so. And, this idea has sparked a nasty little virus online.

A scam email is circulated saying that in a certain number of days the cell phone 411 will go live and the only way to avoid being called by telemarketers is to sign up for a new and separate national do not call list. Well, this list does not exist and the form people have been filling in to register for the fake list asks for information that could be used to access private accounts.

Human beings tend to use the same security questions for bank accounts, email accounts and other very personal accounts that might prove very fruitful for scammers. When signing up for the fake list the form calls for the registrant to choose a security question and verify their cell phone number. Chances are the most of the victims will use the same security question as they do for their other accounts and they will have given a very hard to find cell phone number as well.

Even though real telemarketers are not supposed to call a cell phone number, you may be surprised to find out that non-profit organizations are permitted to call cell phones. Telephone survey companies and any business you have called from a cell number or done actual business with during an 18 month period of time is legally allowed to call that cell number. Also, any complaint registered by a cell phone owner against an unsolicited caller has 31 days to take full effect.

Our cell phone protection is well intended but tends to fall short because it becomes extremely difficult for cell phone users to identify the owners of the phones calling us. Since cell phone numbers are not listed in a 411 directory, getting someone to stop harassing calls without running a trace on that number through a reverse look up service.

It’s kind of a catch 22 if you ask me but when you are trying to identify a stalker, ducking a bill collector or wondering who may be calling your spouse the small price to access unlimited call traces is worth it.

You may not find a telemarketer on the other end of the call!

Cell Phone Number Lookup

December 15th, 2008

Cell Phone Number Lookup

A cell phone number lookup is an easy way for you to find information about a number that you’ve found or that has called your home, work, or mobile phone.

Cell Phone Number Lookups - Your Options

To do a cell phone number lookup, you’ll need to go to a site which provides such a service. Of course, you are probably already familiar with the countless sites on the Internet that offer free reverse lookup services.

Most of these do a great job of providing information if you’re looking for a landline number that isn’t unlisted. The bad news is that a growing number of the phone numbers we’re seeing aren’t from landlines. Free services won’t be able to help you if you’re researching a cell phone or unlisted number.

Trace A Cell Phone - The Best on the Net

In those cases, you’ll need to turn to a paid service. That’s not such a bad thing, usually because you’ll end up with more accurate, up-to-date information and, in the case of Trace A Cell Number, you’ll learn more about the individual who owns the number than you probably imagined possible, like family members, relatives, and background information.

After you’ve registered, you’ll be able to do your cell phone number lookup. Simply enter the area code and seven digits of the phone number in question.

Search By Phone Number

December 15th, 2008

Search By Phone Number

Most people don’t know that you can search by phone number to find out information about a person’s background. Full name, current address, relatives, neighbors, address history, and an assortment of public records can be obtained simply by entering their phone number into the reverse phone number search at Trace A Cell Number and clicking the Search button.

Searching by Phone Number - Your Choices

Of course, to do a search by phone number you have several options. The first places most people go are the free reverse lookup services available all over the Internet. While these services are fine places to start, you’ll find they provide limited information on a very limited amount of numbers.

One problem with the free services is that they only work from databases containing public domain information, such as your landline number. If you want to do a search by phone numbers other than landline numbers, you won’t find any information on them.

You also won’t find information when you do a search by phone number at a free service for cell phone numbers, unlisted phone numbers, or VoIP numbers.

Another problem is that the information you receive from doing a search by phone number will only provide you with very basic details about the owner of the phone number. You’ll learn their name and address, but probably not much else. While that may be all you need at the time, you may find other information about the person’s background useful to have.

Finally, most free search by phone number services don’t update their information regularly. That means the information you do receive could no longer be accurate - and you’ll have reached a dead end in your search.

Trace A Cell Number - Accurate, Easy and Affordable

A more effective way to do a search by phone number is through Trace A Cell Number. Using this service, you’ll be able to find information on almost any number you enter. Reverse Phone Detective provides you with millions of records that you can access for only one fee.

Additionally, you’ll be able to access even more detailed information about the individual if you want. The Trace A Cell Phone members area includes access to hundreds of millions of public records through its expanded people search and investigation databases.

Finally, Trace A Cell Number keeps its databases as up-to-date as possible, so you run little risk of finding invalid or outdated information. If you do, the other investigate tools available free to registered members, such as free search help and expanded database information, will help you continue your search.

Is There A Free Reverse Cell Phone Directory?

December 15th, 2008

Is There A Free Reverse Cell Phone Directory?

One of the most common questions people have is whether or not a free reverse cell phone directory actually exists out there somewhere on the Internet. Unfortunately, the answer is no. If you’re looking for a complete, accurate guaranteed reverse cell phone directory, you need Trace A Cell Number.

In your search for a free reverse cell phone directory, you will find some pseudo-directories promising to allow free cell phone lookups, but they’re usually just websites that allow you to lookup the carrier or issuing location of a phone number (not the owner).

Why Isn’t There a Free Reverse Cell Phone Directory?

Once people realize there’s no such thing as a free reverse cell phone directory, the big question is - why not? After all, there are plenty of free reverse lookup sites for land line numbers. What’s the difference?

Well, the difference is the classification of the information. Your home telephone number is considered public domain information and has been for decades. That’s why no one has to ask your permission to publish your number in the telephone book. In fact, sometimes you have to pay a fee to keep your name OUT of those phone books (i.e., to get it unlisted or non-published).

Cell phone numbers are generally more private, since you’re charged for every call you receive, including telemarketers you don’t want to talk to (although it’s illegal for them to call your cell phone without permission!). That’s why cell phone numbers are typically harder to track down.

Wireless 411 Directory

A few years back, there was some talk about putting together a reverse cell phone directory. All of the different cell phone service providers would contribute their numbers, and the directory would be made available. However, the concern about telemarketers and privacy caused the idea to be abandoned (for now).

That doesn’t mean that putting together a reverse cell phone directory is impossible. The truth is it can be done- and has been done– but it requires plenty of effort, since the information has to be compiled manually from millions of different records. Because it takes so much work, no one is able to offer this service for free. In addition, most reverse cell phone directory providers who charge simply don’t have access to a complete database of information.

Trace A Cell Number

Trace A Cell Number  stands out as having one of the most comprehensive and accurate reverse phone search databases on the Internet. Just run a few Google searches and you’ll quickly discover they’re often the top-ranked reverse cell phone site online.

Search Cell Phone Number

December 15th, 2008

Search Cell Phone Number

A woman suspects her husband of cheating on her. She sneaks a peek at his cell phone bill only to discover lots of calls to the same number. When she tries to use one of the free reverse lookup services to determine who owns the number, she gets nowhere, because the calls are being made to a mobile phone.

What should she do? Log in to Trace A Cell Number – and find out exactly what’s going on! Alternatively, she could do nothing at all. But of course, that doesn’t help her solve her problem – that nagging, “unknown” feeling about whether her husband is being faithful.

Landline vs. Cellphone Numbers

Unlike landline numbers, cell phone numbers are not freely available to the public, so gathering them into a directory or database isn’t easy. In fact, any site that promises a free way to search cell phone number directories is probably not legitimate.

To search cell phone number directories, you’ll want to start with Trace A Cell Number. We specialize in reverse cell phone lookups and our databases contain more records than virtually any other service on the Internet. Plus, you’ll be able to conduct an unlimited number of searches with just a single membership - without having to pay a fee every time.

Once you’ve decided to do your search with Trace A Cell Number, you’ll have to register and become a member. We make these steps fairly easy and quick. With Trace A Cell Number, once you’re a member you’ll only need to log in any time you want to do searches in the future.

Trace A Cell Number – The Right Choice for RESULTS

After you’ve registered, you’ll simply enter the area code and seven digits of the cell phone in question. You can also use Trace A Cell Number to search for landline and unlisted / unpublished numbers.

The results will take a few seconds to retrieve because the system will be running through all of the options trying to make a match. When the match is made, the information on that person – full name, address, relatives, neighbors, and more - will be pulled and displayed for you to view.

With other sites, you’ll only have access to the basics: the person’s name, address, etc. But with Trace A Cell Number, you’ll be able to obtain background information if you wish. In fact, even if you have an outdated phone number, you’ll still be able to use that number to search for the latest address for the individual using people search investigative tools available to members.

The bottom line: the quality of the results you’re going to get when you search cell phone number directories is determined on the site you choose to go through. With our 100% results guarantee, Trace A Cell Number takes the guesswork out of picking the right service!

How To Run A Reverse Cellphone Lookup

December 13th, 2008

How To Run A Reverse Cellphone Lookup

You’ve just received a phone call, but you need to know the owner of the number. How do you find the information you need? If you have Caller ID, then you’d have the answer - but if it was that simple your problem would already be solved. Your best bet is to run a reverse cellphone lookup using Trace A Cell Number.

Protect Your Interests

To get started, you need to select a site that provides this feature. Now, you’ll find several that promise free reverse phone lookups, but they only work on landline numbers. You see, your home phone number is published pretty much everywhere – which is why you get so many of those annoying telemarketing calls!

How to Find the Owner of a Phone Number

December 13th, 2008

How to Find the Owner of a Phone Number

If you’re getting prank calls or if you find a number on you caller identification that you don’t recognize, you probably want to find out who is behind that number. The good news is that finding the owner of a phone number is easier than you might think with Trace a Cell Number!reverse cell phone lookup

As long as you have the area code and the seven digit number, you should be able to locate any number’s owner, if you know where to look.

Searching For That Number

Your first stop should be a free reverse phone number directory. Plenty of them are available on the Internet. At the site, you’ll enter the entire number including the area code and hit “Search.” If the number is a published land line, you should get the information you want, including the name of the owner and the entire address of the owner.

If you’re lucky enough to get results, then your search can stop there. In most cases, you’ll need to try a slightly different approach.

Usually, the reason you’ll run into problems is that the number belongs to a cell phone. Because there is no central database of cell phone numbers, free reverse phone directories cannot return information on those numbers. You also won’t be able to get information on landline numbers that are unlisted or non-published.

Don’t bother trying multiple reverse phone directories in order to find the owner of a phone number, either. Most use the same databases, so if you don’t score results at one then you won’t fare any better at another site.
