People, Address, and Phone Searching 

A lot of information is available to Private Investigators that is not available to the public. But today I will give you some tools that all good Investigators use that are freely available to the public. Sometimes, these resources are more accurate than our paid databases. The job of a Private Investigator can be very nit-picky. Sometimes you have to check Every single source available to you to find that one nugget of information that gives you the answer that you need. 

Reverse Telephone Numbers and E-mail. This web site is on a shortcut on my taskbar. It allows you to search thru many different databases of listed phone numbers. You should run your number thru all of the available free options, as they all update their databases at different times. It also has reverse searches for businesses and ICQ.
