Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2006

With the number of identity theft cases increasing world wide each year, the last thing that many people want to happen is for their social security number to be found out. However, a person’s phone number, an equally unique and identifying number, is not only available online but now can be used to locate someone by phone number alone.

According to the online news magazine People Search News.com, people search site PeopleFinders.com is allowing members of the general public access up to more than 30 years of historical phone number ownership records making it easier than ever to find people even with a phone number that may be more than thirty years old.

Often seen as the “end all, be all” of unique and identifying numbers social security numbers can help someone locate another person easily and with great certainty. Online identity protection experts now believe that a person’s phone number may be equally as unique and identifiable as other state and federally issued forms of identification.

“People aren’t really aware of the power of a home or cell phone number. Anyone from your past, be it friend or foe, can locate you based on your old or current phone number. It’s become a matter of best practice to not publish your number on the Internet.”

Locating people by their phone numbers is a relatively new phenomenon in the field of online people searching where typically one needs such information as individual’s first and last name, phone number and/or social security number to locate someone. The PeopleFinders.com Historical Phone Records Search allows users to locate a person using only a phone number, thus making the process of online people searching quicker and more useful for consumers.

The PeopleFinders.com Historical Phone Records Search allows users to enter a person’s current or previous phone number into a search box on the site which then searches billions of propriety database records to locate an individual. The results, states People Search News editor Guy Dubleche, are often astonishing.

With every phone number search, PeopleFinders.com returns a free summary report to the user. This summary report may list:

    Names and possible aliases associated with the phone number searched

    Age of the person associated with the phone number searched

    City and State that the phone number is located in.

    Possible relatives (and ages for each) associated with the phone number searched

    Possible Businesses/Employment associations for the phone number searched

Once a user has located their subject from the free summary report, the user can then purchase a one time people finder report or a comprehensive background check report on their subject. These reports provide even more detailed information on a search subject including the subject’s age, possible current address and phone number, 20 year address history; bankruptcies, tax liens & judgments; property ownership, possible relatives and roommates and neighbors; possible aliases and maiden names, as well as marital history.

“The power that this technology has opened up the world of people searching up to many who previously may have viewed the prospect of locating someone online as unachievable. All you need is a phone number to find someone now. Old or new, it doesn’t matter,” Dubleche adds.

“With their technology, you can take a phone number that you had in your high school year book or even from your old little league team roster and use it to find someone,” states Dubleche.

Keyser, WV (PRWEB) July 16, 2004

PublicPeopleFinder.com http://www.PublicPeopleFinder.com, a leading Internet based detective agency, recently launched a group of new services designed to find anyone in the world within minutes, providing key background information to prospective spouses, employees and long-lost relatives sometimes in seconds.

“Forget the days of hiring a private detective and paying thousands for a lengthy search,” said Mr Leatherman, owner of Public People Finder.com. “With the comprehensive intelligence of the Internet, we now have access to over 180 billion records, within 30 seconds.” With a first and last name and a telephone or Social Security number, a searchers request can be made via phone, email or online. If the firm can’t meet the request of a people search, the search is free in most cases. Leatherman the chief detective also stated that his company is not like others online as they are a licensed detective agency and can handle many detailed search such as assets, bank traces, property, cell phone traces, criminal records, driving records, and many others. Mr leatherman stated this is not that same type of service that you see on the net today where you just enter a name, and it brings you back and address, and other data in a few seconds. Our records are done offline and include much more detail than others doing live time people search services.

The company is tied to a massive data bank which accesses more than 100 major networks of public, and private information, including the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), credit bureaus, marriage and divorce records by State. Said Leatherman, “People will go to great lengths to avoid being located. We saw a guy who changed his name from Fred to Frieda to avoid paying child support,” said Leatherman. With new laws on privacy said Leatherman this hurts America each day. For example said Leatherman when if a person drives their car into your yard causing damage. You get the plate number but you cant locate the driver as of privacy laws. Leatherman believes information is free as long as no harm is done in the process. If I want to know if someone has a criminal record, or is wanted by local law, or the FBI it should be a given right. Leatherman said it is the right of all americans.

If someone calls your home late a night and uses a cell phone or blocks the number it;s your right to find out who it is. That where publicpeoplefinder.com comes in leatherman said.

We asked Leatherman about privacy issues about credit card theft, and identity theft and what his opinion was about this. Leatherman stated “Well anyone can get your social security number well even at the library, or the local court house. We never run a search and give a full social security number to anyone unless they have a court order, or a reason such as child support, or other legal documented reasons” Leatherman stated that it is really sick that people use other peoples information to get ahead in life, or to use someone else’s information to get a loan, or credit card.”

However, Leatherman stated that “there are many people out there that need the services that we provide such as criminal, background checks, cell phone lookups, missing people searches, skip traces, and many others. He said if someone owes you money you want to find them so that you can serve them court papers. If someone calls your home and harasses you with a cell phone you want to find out who it is right… Or if you hire someone to watch your kids you want to make sure they do not have a criminal record said Leatherman.. This is a given right to all people. You have the right to know and we can help.”

If It’s Information You Seek; Ye Shall Find Leatherman, a licensed detective, has gradually broadened his firm’s services since 1996, from a focus on re-connecting families (locatepeople.com) http://www.locatepeople.com, to re-connecting friends such as army buddies and classmates (LostPeople.com), to a national focus offering all types of searches (Lostpeople.com). Most of the requests derive from larger states such as California, New York, Texas, and Washington.

One woman, who had been missing her son for 13 years, purchased a online social security search this past Christmas. The fruitful results lead to a happy, joy-filled holiday for the entire family.

A man said Leatherman owed child support for over 14 years and failed to pay. He was not found by other online people search services and we located him as living as a woman. The man changed his name to a womans name, and was living as a woman. He owed 125,000.00 in back child support and we located him and he paid up as the client had a judgement on him/her.

As with computers, the price of information has gone down drastically. The services which used to cost more than ,000 in the 1980′s now range between to track a Social Security number to 0 for a Background Check including criminal, bankruptcy, and asset information. For custom searches, most results are available within one to four days.

“Today, even an ‘Information Amateur’ can find basic information on the Internet,” said Leatherman. “However, when it comes to deep down need to know, people want to verify everything – especially if the person is a prospective nanny. We’re not here to invade people’s privacy. We simply help people protect themselves with the one thing that has become the most powerful commodity on earth: information.”

For a telephone search, call (304) 788-9040 between 10:00 AM – 4 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). Email inquiries or requests can be sent via email to sales@publicpeoplefinder.com. Major credit cards are accepted for online searches.

About offices, which are based in Keyser WV. Founded in 1996, PPF was created to provide specialized background investigations. As a licensed detective agency, the firm serves clients from around the world with criminal, corporate and personal investigative work. The company recently expanded their corporate offices

to West Virginia.

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) December 27, 2006

Online news magazine People Search News presented PeopleFinders.com with the first ever People Search Innovator Award, Wednesday, for the company’s pioneering phone search technology.

The People Search Innovator Award is given each year to the people search web site that best develops and implements new people search technology. PeopleFinders.com received the award this year due to their “enhanced phone searching capabilities,” according to People Search News editor Rick Tufington.

“It is amazing what their phone search technology can do. You pretty much can locate anyone just by using an old phone number. What makes it even more amazing is that one phone number can provide PeopleFinders.com users with a data set that is up to thirty years deep. PeopleFinders.com puts users on the business end of a people search,” states Tufington.

PeopleFinders.com introduced the new phone search technology earlier this year by providing users with access to up to thirty years of historical phone records. This innovation in people search technology allows a subject to not only be located from a current phone number but also from an older number that possibly hasn’t been used in up to thirty years.

“You can take a phone number from your high school year book, old address book or even from your little league team roster and find someone’s current address and phone number,” adds Tufington.

According to Tufington, PeopleFinders.com phone searching is just another example of how online people searching continues to evolve.

“Just a few years ago, you would need a person’s social security number, address and date-of-birth to find who you were looking for. Now, it really only takes just a phone number,” concludes Tufington.

People Search News Set to Aid Public with Background Checks

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2006

People Search News.com, one of the world’s only personal investigation news sites, was launched this week to provide consumers with the latest information on using background checks, criminal checks, marriage checks or other professional searches effectively.

People Search News.com provides articles, tips, frequently asked questions and a forum related to personal online investigative searches such as a background check, criminal data records search, death search and an unclaimed money check.

Until recently, professional online investigative searches such as a people search, criminal data records search or even a background check were only conducted by law enforcement or government agencies. However, online search companies such as peoplefinders.com are gaining popularity due to their ease of use and affordability.

According to People Search News.com editor E. Tom Foley, many consumers weren’t using online searches effectively. “Professional investigative searches can be a great way to gain information on a future employee, business opportunity, relative or lost friend. However, not many know how to get the most out of these services. Therefore, we created People Search News.com to inform the public,” stated Foley.

People Search News.com currently welcomes investigative search related questions, feedback on all site content and advertising inquiries.
