Trace Threatening Phone Calls

Trace Threatening Phone Calls with Reverse Look Up

Unfortunately, threatening phone calls are on the rise in society today. For some reason people take advantage of the fear they can instill in others buy hiding behind unknown phone calls.

Knowing that threatening phone calls are common is little consolation for someone who has been victimized by them.

So How do you stop threatening phone calls?

Please keep in mind that if you are receiving threatening phone calls it is a good idea to create some type of record with them through your local law enforcement agency. Always take precautions when dealing with this type of problem.

Using our free scan can tell you the general area where the call originated and it is a great idea to report your incidents with law enforcement in that area as well.

However, trying to figure out who actually owns the phone number that made the call is a little more involved. Free reverse look up service will not provide the information required to fully identify someone and 411 directory service can only go so far.

A premium membership to a reverse phone look up is very inexpensive and allows unlimited traces which will yield complete information collected from several databases. It is really the access to high quality databases which is so crucial to the process.

So try and get as much information as possible with your Caller ID or free reverse look up scan, but if the caller is trying to hide their identity it will probably take a paid  service to trace a phone number.

Cyberstalking And Online Harassment

January 12th, 2009

Cyberstalking and Harassment

Cyberstalking and Online Harassment have become big buzz words due to advancements in technology moving faster than the protective measures which stop this type of behavior. The main differences between Cyberstalking, Online Harassment, and Cyberbullying are the degrees of intimidation and danger associated with each one.

The issue is that no matter what you call it, being harassed online, in person, or over the phone is a nuisance and could be quite scary for anyone. If you are being stalked, this usually refers to repetitive behavior of a nature that my range from intrusion to out right aggressive behavior. Victims of serious stalking could be in physical danger. Harassment is thought of more as verbal or communicative behavior intended to make a victim feel vulnerable.

Over the years, studies have been conducted in an attempt to measure just how widespread this type of behavior may or may not be, but the numbers are very misleading because of the emergence online social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. Before the advent of such interpersonal technology it was likely that about 8% of women in the United States would endure some form of harassment in their lifetime and about 2% of men in the United States.

In shear numbers, this makes the problem very prevalent in our society especially for women. Now with different forms of social media developing on an almost daily basis the problems have come more widespread.

Making our MySpace and Facebook accounts private is a very important step in combating online bullying or cyberstalking but people are free to make their own websites with the intention of tormenting others so if you are faced with any type of online harassment you should keep records of it and report it to your local authorities. It may be difficult to identify the offenders in many cases but records of email addresses, IP addresses, and web content may be helpful to authorities down the road. Each state has laws of varying degrees regarding cyberstalking and your state’s website is a good place to do research.

If you are being harassed by phone there are things you can do to stop it. In general, once a person is identified and “called out” they will leave you alone. These type of people are aggressive salesmen, bill collectors, phishing scammers and fraudsters. Technically, this is cyberstalking because it occurs over a digital network so there are state and federal laws governing its abuse.

Many times, the use of Caller ID or *69 will put an end to intrusive phone calls but if the calls are originating from cell phones their information is not listed in 411 directories. In fact, even your cell phone provider is not at liberty to give you the full details of the person who is calling you. Information from all phone records is private and isn’t legal to exchange.

Evil minded people who intend to defraud your are well aware of the privacy protections afforded them and take full advantage of it. People who are in your personal life and wish to do you harm may or may not be aware of how to avoid detection but if they use a cell phone to threaten or bully you, chances are you will not be able to identify them easily.

However, just because cell phone information is not listed for free in the white pages does not mean it isn’t listed. In fact, public records regarding the owners of cell phones is readily available but it costs money. There are thousands of databases out there containing information regarding cell phone owners and a quality reverse look up service will have compiled the records in one convenient place and sell access to them at a minimal price. Reverse Lookups are legal and actually trace phone numbers and locate the people attached to them.

If you are being stalked, harassed, or threatened over the phone a search by phone number service is exactly what you need to identify the owner of the phone that has been calling you. Once you have this information you can “bust” them yourself or in more serious matters give the information to the police and press charges against that person.

How To Block Incoming Calls

January 7th, 2009

How to Block Phone Calls

Learning to block incoming phone calls to your home phone or even cell phone can give you piece of mind when trying to avoid telemarketers, bill collectors, pranksters or even stalkers. There are several methods to block phone calls and some work better than others.

Blocking Landline Telephone Calls:

The first thing to do is utilize caller ID. For those who don’t know, caller ID is a device that either attaches to your phone or is integrated into your phone that identifies incoming phone calls. Your caller ID mechanism can alert you to the incoming phone number, the number and name of the caller and unfortunately sometimes no information at all. This will depend on the type of phone and amount of privacy the inbound caller is using.

The idea is to gather as much information about the caller and decide whether or not to pick up the phone. If you are able to use caller ID to determine you are receiving calls from telemarketers, it is a good idea to add you number to the National Do Not Call List.

There is only one National Do Not Call List and you are welcome to add your landline phone or cell phone to the data base. This is the single best way to rid yourself of telemarketers. You may visit The National Do Not Call List or call (888) 382-1222 and listen to the instructions. It is important to note that it takes 31 days after a number is added to the list before telemarketers must officially cease making calls.

Another method of blocking inbound calls is the use of an inbound call blocking device. These are screening tools that allow you to hand out codes to those you would like to be able to get through your blocking defenses and the callers simply dial in the code and the call is placed. These tools are readily available online but seem to be more trouble than they are worth because your contacts are likely to misplace or forget codes.

Local telephone companies all have some sort of pay service allowing customers to block certain incoming calls and they all come along with pros and cons. They do work but can turn out to be expensive and hard to manage for someone who is just trying avoid sales calls but may have use for incoming calls from unknown numbers. Most telemarketers who make their living by getting a target on the phone will have methods for bypassing caller ID and call blocking services. However, if you do answer a call from a telemarketer you can always ask them to remove your number from their list and they will probably not bother you again. It is usually other more malicious callers which end up becoming  the type of nuisance causing someone to really try and block a phone number.

Blocking Calls to a Cell Phone

With cell phones we have a trusty little call log that allows us to see the list of callers who call into our phones. However, most of the sales calls, pranksters, bill collectors and stalkers will call from unlisted numbers and their numbers will not appear to us so easily.

The first thing you need to do if you are getting harassed is save any voicemail or text message that may be sent. These can be used as evidence in a police report if you are indeed being criminally harassed.

Much like with a lindline call, if you do answer a cell call from a telemarketer, remind them they are calling a cell phone and they cannot do this without consent from you or an actual request from you to their company asking for a sales call. They should immediately remove your number.

Cell phones do happen to work differently from other phones and there are currently no good methods for actually blocking calls. The best thing you can do is run a reverse look up or a search by phone number to trace a call. Identifying the owner of a cell phone number and calling them directly or in some cases turning their identity over to the authorities is the best way to stop threatening phone calls.

But, free reverse look up services only yield basic information because cell phone directories do not exist and cell phone numbers are not published in the white pages. The information on cell phone owners is readily available but a small fee is required to access the databases containing that information.

If you are being harassed or threatened and cannot block a phone number because it is coming from a cell phone, a reverse look up is the best way to trace a cell number and rid yourself of that pesky caller.

Thinking Of Hiring A Private Investigator? Read This First!

From time to time we all are going to need people search information. Maybe you’ve lost track of an old friend and the only thing you have to go on is an outdated phone number from a few years ago. Or you might be curious about strange numbers appearing your family cell phone bill. Or maybe you’re just tired of the prank calls late at night.reverse phone look up

To get answers, you may be tempted to hire a private investigator, but you don’t have to. There is a more affordable solution to your problem – Trace A Cell Number.

Why Turn To A PI?

Private investigators were once the only option you had when you needed hard-to-find information. Ordinary folks had no way of accessing the databases that we can so easily access today. Most of us had no idea what a reverse lookup was or why it would ever be useful. Today, things have changed and private investigators are going the way of the dinosaur.

One of the bad things about hiring a private investigator is that you are essentially going to be paying this person three times what is necessary. First, you’re going to be paying because they know WHERE to get the information you need. Second, you’ll end up paying a fee to cover ACCESS of the databases. Third, you’ll pay for the TIME they spent working on your case.

In the end, you’ll be paying this private investigator hundreds – maybe even thousands - of dollars for doing what you could do for a fraction of the cost.

Save Your Money with Trace A Cell Number.

The same databases private investigators use to get information are available for you to use. There’s nothing secret or special about them; they’re right there on the Internet at Trace A Cell Number. That means now you have the same knowledge as private investigations about how to find people through phone numbers.

Sure, you’ll have to spend a couple of minutes registering, entering the phone number, and waiting for the results, but you probably won’t be sending yourself a bill. Even if you did, the time you’ll spend completing one of these searches is nothing compared to all of the time you’d spend filling in your private investigator about the case details.

The one thing you will still need to do is pay the fee required for accessing Trace A Cell Phone’s massive database of information. And since you were going to be paying a much larger fee anyway to the private investigator, you’ll still come out ahead - because instead of paying three times for the service, you’re only paying once.

In addition, because we give you access to advanced search tools like expanded people search databases, you’ll have more direct access to the information and tools you need. By cutting out the middleman, you’ll get your results faster and cheaper.

Before you consider hiring a PI, visit Trace A Cell Number – you’ll be glad you did!

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.

Trace CELL Phones

December 12th, 2008

Trace Cell Phones

There are two ways that you can trace a cell phone call: you can either use publicly available information to trace the issuing location of a phone number. Or, you can use a reverse phone lookup to access special databases that will give you the IDENTITY of the owner of the phone number.Reverse Cell Phone Lookup

Below you’ll learn how to trace a cell phone number’s issuing location for free… but if you’re interested in tracing the name, address, and background information about the owner, click here to run a search in our comprehensive Trace A Cell Number database.

If you want to trace cell phone numbers, you first need to look carefully at the anatomy of the number itself. To keep up with the need for new telephone numbers, the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) was developed as a joint effort between AT&T and Bell.

The Anatomy of a Phone Number

According to the NANP, phone numbers are divided into three sections. The first three numbers are known as the area code. The second three are known as the central office code while the remaining four are the line number. While the line number itself won’t provide you with much useful information if you’re trying to trace cell phone calls, the other two sets of digits can be very helpful.

The area code can start with any digit between 2 to 9, but the other two digits can be made up of any numbers between 0 and 9. Area codes are assigned to specific geographic areas. For example, the state of Indiana is divided into six area code sections; and all of the telephone numbers for the area around Indianapolis begin with a 317 area code, while the entire southern part of the state’s numbers begin with 812. The same concept is applied for all states.

Trace Cell Phone Numbers

When you want to trace cell phone numbers, you can use the area code to narrow the number down to a certain area. In most cases, the area code covers a few hundred exchanges. These exchanges, like area codes, begin with a number between 2 to 9 and are followed by numbers that can be any digit between 0 and 9. If you know which exchange represents which parts of that zip code area, then you can close in on the location of the number in question.

If you want to trace cell phone numbers on your own, you can do so in a very limited way simply by finding out which part of the country is represented by the specific area code. However, that will only help you find a still relatively large area.

Knowing the section of that area covered by the exchange associated with the number you’re investigating might help you narrow your search down to a particular city or county, but will still not give you enough information to zero in on your target.

Who Owns That Cell Phone?

To trace cell phone numbers, you need to access a reverse phone directory that includes cell phone listings. Unfortunately, most of the popular directories do not contain these numbers and will, therefore, be useless to you as you try to trace cell phone calls.

Trace a Cell Number on the other hand, contains hundreds of millions of records about cell phones within the U.S. population. By comparison, most other sites in the industry (even those advertising “reverse cell phone lookups”) only have a few million records (or none at all!).

Furthermore, Trace A Cell Number also give all customers professional search assistance and has top ratings by many consumer reviews. Your membership is also backed by our 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee. Run a search now!

How To Stop Prank Callers

January 5th, 2008

Stopping Prank Calls

Receiving a prank call is not only an annoying experience but it can also be quite scary. Often, the prank call is meaningless and no harm is intended, but every once in awhile a prankster can cross the line and turn into a stalker.

Putting an end to harassing or prank phone calls my prove to be more of a challenge than most people think. Those who participate in scams, phishing, pretexting or just plain old harassment will try and hide behind a wall of anonymity and a simple *69 will not actually identify the caller but might not even lead you directly back to their phone.

If you are truly afraid of someone who is harassing or stalking you by phone, you should first report the incidents to the police so they will have some type of record of your complaint. Just in case things escalate and you find yourself face to face with this person, police reports can help the police do their jobs and better protect you.

Tracing the call is the most aggressive approach to take without involving the police. In most cases, the source of the phone calls is not there to hurt you and many of us might feel a bit silly for involving the police without at least attempting to identify the source of the phone calls.

So the first step to any obvious phone call trace is checking the Caller ID and/or *69. Again, most telemarketers, prankster, and criminals are not going to make it easy for you to find them so a reverse look up will probably be needed. A reverse lookup is a search by phone number service. By entering the telephone number in your call log, you will be given information pertaining to that number.

When using a free reverse look up, you will be given common public information and not much else. A paid reverse telephone look up will yield a lot more data and probably allow you to identify the the incoming phone caller. You see, quality reverse look up services have access to millions of records gained from several legal sources. Most notably, cell phone number listings which are not published in the white page.  A quality reverse number look up is a massive conglomeration of every type of public record available and these types of records are rarely compiled in one place. Access to databases in general  can be very expensive but not when tracing phone numbers by paying a small fee to access a reverse lookup service.

Once the information about your caller shows up on your computer screen, you can usually get them to leave you alone by calling them and telling them you know who they are. If they are sales people, they will move on to the next target. If they are bill collectors, they will immediately begin to follow the proper procedures when attempting to collect a debt, and finally if the caller is someone who wishes to do you harm, you should immediately report their identity to the police department.

Trace Phone Calls To Stop A Prank Caller

January 4th, 2008

Tracing  Phone Calls

Tracing a Cell number has been the standard answer from cell phone providers for some time now. Their customer service operators are often asked how to find out who owns the cell phone number that has shown up in a call log or appeared as unlisted.

Unfortunately, the wireless provider can provide little more than basic information the number you are trying to identify. Cell phone records are not public information and releasing the information from phone records is illegal.

However, being able to find out who calling your cell phone can be important for a variety of reasons. In most cases people calling for malicious purposes will usually call from an unlisted or unpublished number.

Whether the caller is Phishing for personal information or harassing an individual for other more dangerous purposes, they will likely be wise enough to hide behind the anonymity of a private number. But by using a good reverse phone directory you can identify callers and stop them from placing calls to you. Keep and mind there is a difference between a free reverse directory and a cell phone number directory.

A free reverse directory will pull up only basic public information and in most cases this will simply not be enough to trace a cell phone call. A cell phone number directory will provide access to millions of records that will yield enough information to identify the owner of a cell phone number.

But first, most simple call traces telephone service providers do provide call traces. It is as easy picking up the phone and dialing *57 immediately following the call in question. There may be a charge each time the service is used and the quality of result can vary. In most cases the number may be identified but the phone company will not release the name and contact information of the owner of the phone.

It is far better to use the *69 services offered with service plans because the fee is lower and the information will be of the same quality. Unfortunately, just being able to return the call of the last number that phoned you will not be of use to anyone trying to stop a prankster or identify a person with malicious intent.

A quality cell phone number directly will allow you to find out more about the prank caller by giving you access to public records, expanded databases, background check resources and more. If the person harassing you is up to no good, you can finally put a stop to it PERMANENTLY.
