Want to Know Who’s Calling You?

Posted under Free Resources, Tools, Uncategorized

Caller Id and the Do Not Call List have a been a big help in avoiding unwanted calls. But sometimes Caller ID isn’t clear and not all organizations follow the DNCL rules.

When I’d get a weird number on my Caller ID, I used to type the number in my search engine to see what came up. But now there is a better option to figure out who’s calling you. The Number Investigator will not only provide reverse phone number look up, but you can see if there are any complaints about the caller, and you can file a complaint as well. Further, if there are enough complaints about a caller, the Number Investigator will file a report with the proper authorities.

To use the service:

1. Enter Phone Number Information into the box on the home page. Or choose “Reverse Look Up” from the navigation bar at the top of the page.

2. Click the “Search Now” Button.

3. Get your results that include a map of the location, information about the organization, and complaints filed.

I tested the service on two numbers I received in the mail as part of a fake check scam. The letter with the scam listed a New York address but the Fax number was in Houston and the phone number was in Calgary (Canada).
