A couple of tools I use that are on the internet for anybody to use
Monday, January 12th, 2009You might think I’m a loser and you can think that if you want, but I’ve always been intrigued by detective tools. As a child I was a big Sherlock Holmes fan and was constantly buying different spy gadgets. Ok, Ok – I’m a nerd!
Now I don’t check out Sherlock Holmes anymore, but I am still intrigued by a few of the tools that are now available. Now I don’t order gadgets from any catalogues, I now get my “fix” by going on the internet.
The world wide web makes it possible to do investigations on just about anybody just by typing a few letters. I wanted to take a look at two of the tricks I will use a lot.
The first one I often use is a cell phone reverse lookup. This type of search lets you type in a phone number and then find out exactly who is the owner of the phone. Simply by typing in the phone number you can discover someone’s name, address and all sorts of other personal details.
This will be useful in a bunch of situations. There might be situations when I don’t recognize a number that keeps showing up on my call display or I have even received text messages that I didn’t know where they were coming from.
The next one I use is an online criminal background check. You can discover lots of information on anyone just by typing in their name at a background search site. I like that these searches are instant and display to you the person’s criminal history (if any), marriage details, employment records and a variety of other details.
These little tricks make me feel like an investigator right from home. It’s really cheap to use either of them and they are useful in lots of circumstances. Enjoy!
