As with most things, there are risks associated with a Reverse Phone Number Search, but these risks aren't associated with the person you are searching. The most dangerous aspect of these searches would be the imposter private investigation search companies. They employ gimmicky rates, to rope the customers in at first. Another common claim that these predators use to attract customers is by promising "Instant" or "Unlimited" results. This is one of the most identifiable red flags that these phony sites use. With a little knowledge it is likely that you will be able to identify all of the red flags associated with fake reverse phone searches, thereby better protecting yourself from scammers.
You may be asking yourself "How do these companies even function?" The answer to this question is multi-faceted, because almost every phony company operates slightly differently. In order to do a reverse search, you must be a licensed private investigator. These phony websites operate by purchasing outdated data bases, and offering reduced rates in comparison to their competitors. Do not be mistaken, because these outdated databases will return usually incorrect information, or the website will just provide you links to other reverse phone number search sites.
This is an especially frustrating type of fraud, particularly because they make it very difficult for you to contact the company. They will generally just have a "contact us" page with no address or telephone number information. If you open the web page only to find that their "contact us" page is lacking any sort of physical phone number/address, it is a safe bet that this is an imposter site. If you find that the company does have a phone number and address, it is a good idea to just call the number and see what kind of answer you get. This is because more advanced phony sites have figured out that the lack of information is a red flag, and will post a fake phone number.
It is important to restate that in order to perform a Reverse Phone Number Lookup, you must be a licensed private investigator. Any company that does not clearly state that they have licensed private investigators, should be further investigated and most likely disregarded. Potentially the most frustrating problem with these phony sites is that they appear on the first couple pages of your search. This means that the customer that is in a rush and selects the first result when searching for a reverse phone number search company is the favorite customer of these scammer sites. Generally, this is a phony website who has manipulated the search engine to appear on the top of the page. By taking the time and educating yourself about the red flags of these scams, it is my hope to reduce the sheer number of victims from this scam.
