Who is calling me?: 2009

THE REVERSE CELL PHONE SEARCH

A phone chirps loudly in the background, with its ring tone revealing that it is your mobile.
More than likely, you are preoccupied with several tasks, ranging from returning business emails
to finishing dinner for your family. You think to yourself "I wonder who is calling me?" By the time you have an ability to reach for your cellphone, you missed the call, and the person on the other end did not bother to leave a message. Much to your dismay, you find that your cell phone's highly advanced caller ID service was unable to detect an identity. Could the call have been from a stranded family member? Perhaps simply a wrong number? Let us hope it is not a probable client who came across your company's brochure!

Who is calling me?

Thanks to modern technology, you no longer have to sit in wonder about the unnamed call to your cell phone. Even if you do not have access to cell phone records, there is a proven way to match a number with a face or place. Perhaps you may want to investigate who is making prank or threatening calls to your phone, or you may want to look into suspicious phone numbers appearing on your spouse's cell phone bill. By performing a reverse cell phone search, you may be able unravel the mystery and get the answers you need.

The overall process of reverse cell phone searches is rather straight forward. With this method,
you use a cell phone number to find a person, instead of using their identity to find that
number. Since cell phone numbers are not typically listed in your local directory, performing a
reverse search on a land line is often easier. However, this is where Internet enhancement comes into play.

Those looking to conduct a reverse cell phone search online to obtain cell phone records have
several different options. The first one is very simple, effective, and will not cost you a
dime. Through the popular search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, you can use their databases to derive cell phone and identify information.

Who is searching for you?

View it from this perspective. New content is frequently placed online and detected by the
search engines, which includes cell phone numbers and records. For example, most newspapers will publish classified ads or even entire editions on a website. If someone lists their phone
number, there is a great chance that the phone number has been indexed within the Internet and is now available for search.

Try conducting a reverse cell phone search by playing with the search box of your preferred
engine. Many websites have different criteria of how a phone number should be entered into their database. Be sure to try a few different variations. Some may enter a cell phone number in the manner of 1112223333, while others may prefer a format such as (111) 222-3333. Exercising a bit of creativity in your reverse cell phone search will certainly assist along the way. Using the search engines as free tool is a great way to begin your own reverse cell phone number search.

However, to achieve more accurate and detailed cell phone records, you may wish seek professional assistance. Several online experts specialize in reverse cell phone searches, with services ranging from affordable to very expensive. The quality and the depth of the information they provide your reverse cell phone search is very valuable, as you obtain access to their entire database of information and records. In fact, their cell phone records databases can give you a myriad of relevant information, such as personal information, address history, current location, and wireless provider. Paying a fee that quickly produces accurate, detailed information may prove worthwhile in the end, especially in terms of saving you time and energy.

A reverse cell phone search can be used for many reasons, such as checking up on your teenager or merely tracking down that phone call you missed. Gathering personal information from a cell
phone was once perceived as impossible, but it now can be discovered with speed and accuracy when you access the power of Internet databases for reverse cell phone searches.

FREE People Search Lookup Tool "Who is calling your Family?"

FREE People Search Lookup Tool <== Find out once and for all

Hi everyone.. I want to thank all of you hard working folks out there for taking your time to check out my site. Before I go into what I have been working on, I wanted to share a "People Search" tool that I am sure most of you have seen many times before. However as I become more familiar with RSS and it's many benefits, it occurred to me that you may not have a "People Search" handy. Therefore wanted to provide one that you could have at your fingertips.. if needed.

FREE People Search Lookup Tool <== Find out once and for all

You see.. I recently dedicated myself to a week of learning RSS once and for all. I don't know about you guys and gals but in the past I have a tendency to shy away from things I don't understand, such as RSS. It just seemed so overwhelming and to be honest I flat didn't want to put in the hard work and time it would take to learn it. However I kept reading over and over about the many benefits of RSS. Just real quick, one of the things I really like about RSS (as a subsciber) is you can go to one place and get updates on numerous sites, without the need to bounce back and forth to all of them. In addition to that you get updates "real time", as they occur.

Please click here to subscribe to my blog

Very cool. So anyway I am still learning so please bear with me if something looks a bit "out of whack".

I am hoping if you haven't tackled RSS yet.. that this article will inspire you to do so. Because if I can understand what little I know now, believe me.. anyone can do it.

Thanks again,

Glen

Background Checks: How They Can Help Better Protect Your Small Business Against Crime

If you run a small business, you've got a lot of worries. Besides all the normal concerns like competition and pricing and location and customer service... now security has become increasingly important. You face the threat of theft, fraud, embezzlement, scams... the list seems almost endless.

When you're in business, you can run up against...

-    Suppliers who provide shoddy goods that you don't discover until after you've paid for them
-    Customers whose orders you promptly fill but who wiggle out of paying
-    Employees who rob you of everything from supplies and equipment to cash and services.

The Federation of Small Business - a British business group reported that over half (58%) of all small businesses in the UK suffered at least one crime during a recent two year period. They concluded:

"Crime, and the fear of crime, can directly impact on day to day business activities. It can damage a business image, resulting in the loss of existing customers and deterioration in the quality and range of services offered by the business, which will limit turnover (profits) and
restrict business development."

When you run a small business, it's up to you to look out for your company. But how?

Background Search Services on the Web Provide an Economical Answer

Many of the problems that small businesses face in trying to deter crime can be helped with information available on the Internet. You can use 21st Century technology to get the better of the crooks and thieves and scam artists.

But if you're not familiar with whats available, you may not realize all the important things you can find out with a good background checking service.

It used to be expensive to check into someone's background to see if they were hiding anything. You had to hire a private detective or pay big bucks to an investigative agency. Not today - not with Internet databases so readily available to us. Some of the services are free. However, a business will benefit most from the more in-depth background checking services.

These higher quality services usually charge a fee to subscribe, but it's smaller than you'd expect - especially considering the volumes and usefulness of the information they provide. A year of service is often less than what you'd pay to bring in lunch for a staff meeting. Plus, the paid services are kept more up-to-date and are typically faster and easier to use.

Sometimes referred to as Internet Detective sites, or Personal Search sites, the website based services give you the low-down on all kinds of formerly-hidden information.

Here are the types of things you can and should be looking into for the protection of your business...

Criminal Background Checks

Any time your business is dealing with someone you don't know, you should run a quick check to see if they have any history of criminal activity. It's very simple to find out about:

-    Criminal Records
-    FBI Records
-    Prison Records
-    Sex Offender Status

You have access to their entire criminal history if there is one. With violence in the workplace such a major issue, a simple criminal check can be a very effective way to avoid problems before they happen.

Background Check for Employment (Pre-Employment Screening)

If you've got a small business, you should be pre-screening each person you consider hiring. No matter how professional, or how harmless, they appear.

A small print shop franchise in Florida hired an especially friendly fellow as their bookkeeper after the owner got too busy to handle it himself. The new employee didn't offer much in the way of references but he sounded like he knew what he was doing and - big plus - he agreed to work cheap. The owner figured he would save money hiring the guy. He figured wrong.

The bookkeeper drained more than a hundred thousand dollars out of the company before they found him out.   Turned out he'd previously been charged with embezzlement. Something a criminal background check would have quickly turned up.

Background Check Existing Employees - Make it a Condition of Employment

You shouldn't check only new hires. Over time, employees can develop habits and get involved in activities you'd never suspect. So you should regularly check on existing employees. Note: this is something you should get legal advice for - but generally if it's a condition of employment and you let them know in writing, it's not invading privacy. You entrust employees with company funds or materials that can be stolen, or negotiating and purchasing power that can be abused. Keeping an eye on existing employees is just being prudent.

Too many small business owners think of their company as an extension of their family. They don't want to think ill of the people they give jobs to. Truth is, most employees are trustworthy. They just want to do a good job and get paid fairly - but they see you as the boss, not their daddy. Even in real families, the black sheep will have absolutely no conscience about turning your good will to their good fortune. Don't be so kindly that you end up getting taken for everything you own.

Background Check Each Company or Individual You Do Business With

You should investigate every supplier or contractor who serves your business. If the possibility of harm exists, then you need to know if someone you're in business with is likely to harm you. You can check credit, check backgrounds of the owners and managers, check the company itself for any past criminal or questionable activity.

Also check customers if your dealings with them permit. Most non-retail businesses will have the opportunity to look at their customer's backgrounds for any warning signs. Don't get left without payment for your products or services when a quick look up on the computer can resolve questions.

Check both suppliers and customers out. It's just good business.

Real Estate Business Transactions Are Often Easy Targets for Crime

Real Estate often involves significant investment, both initially and over time. Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, you need to check out those with whom you're doing business. Using a background check service, you can:

-    Check Credit and determine if Social Security Numbers provided are valid
-    Check Tenants for past problems or criminal activity
-    Check Landlords for tenant actions against them or other legal problems

Charity and Other Community Support

Businesses frequently get called on to support their community. Charitable organizations often solicit donations, many times in sizable amounts. Before you give money freely to anyone, be sure they're legitimate by running a background check on their organization and the principals involved. Otherwise the help you think you're providing could turn around and hurt your business.

Final Word

Running a small business is more of a challenge today than ever before. Use online database search services to help you protect your business and keep you, your customers and your employees more secure.

Sex Offender Criminal Checks: Now Internet Services Can Help You Keep Your Children Safer

One of the most disturbing trends of our time is the increase in sex offenses against our children.

A study by the US Department of Justice found
- 67% of all victims of sexual assault were juveniles, under 18 years old
- Thirty-four percent of the victims were younger than 12
- One of every seven was less than 6 years old
This is such a tragedy but at least parents are becoming more aware of the problem. They're taking steps to safeguard their children by keeping them from going out alone or from going anywhere unsupervised.

If you're a parent, now there's even more you can do to protect your children.

How the Internet Can Help You Protect Your Children

Your computer and the Internet can play a major part in helping you keep your children safe. If you're like most folks, you probably have at least some experience looking up information online, using Google or Yahoo search perhaps.

What you may not realize is how much information you can uncover online about sex offenders and other criminals who pose a threat to your family.

Specialized background checking services now exist that take you directly to criminal histories and sex offender records. While the common search engines are good for finding general information on a variety of topics, they're not so helpful when you want to search for criminal records. The specialized services make it a whole lot easier and faster.

I became familiar with these criminal background checking services from my work as a professional writer and researcher. If you're a parent trying to protect your children, you'll want to find out as much as you can about what's available.

You Can Now Find Out Secrets Once Deeply Hidden While Sitting at Your Computer

It used to be time consuming and costly to check someone's background to see if they had a criminal history. You had to hire a private detective or go through some expensive reporting agency. Not today - not with Criminal record databases so readily available to us.

Sometimes referred to as Internet Detective sites, or Personal Search sites, these web-based search services give you the low-down on all kinds of formerly-hidden information.

They let you make complete criminal background checks and give you access to detailed information including:

- Sex Offender Status Records
- Geographic Locations of Registered Sex Offenders
- Criminal Records for all kinds of crimes
- Prison Records
- FBI and other Law Enforcement Agency Files
- Criminal History

Why Checking Criminal Backgrounds Can Help You Spot Crime Before It Happens

The unfortunate truth is that many offenders commit crimes again and again. The DOJ tracked one sample group of around three hundred thousand offenders and discovered an amazing fact. This one group of felons has so far accounted for nearly five million arrest charges over their recorded careers.

Here are more disturbing findings from US Department of Justice studies:

- When criminals were arrested for a new crime, more than half of them were out on probation, parole or pretrial release for a previous crime.
- 39% of jail inmates had already served 3 or more prior sentences.
- Of the hundreds of thousands of criminals released from prisons during a one year period, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% resentenced to prison for a new crime.

And the most chilling statistics

- Sex offenders were about four times more likely than non-sex offenders to be arrested for another sex crime after their discharge from prison.
- Of released sex offenders and child molesters arrested for committing another sex crime, 40% perpetrated the new offense within a year or less from their prison discharge.
It's extremely troubling but the very fact that so many criminals are repeat offenders is what makes using criminal background checks so effective. Those past crimes leave a trail. Access to that trail, that criminal history, is easily available through the specialized background check services.

The criminal history you can easily find out there can forewarn you. You'll know if someone has a criminal background and is therefore likely commit a crime again. It's not pre-judging. It's just being realistic and practical.

Experts Recommend Parents Use Criminal Background Checking Services

Safety experts are starting to recommend that parents use a criminal background checking service regularly. By running a criminal background check on anyone you find suspicious or even anyone your child might come into contact with, you'll know if there's anything to worry about. You'll be armed with the knowledge you need to take appropriate action.

You can use the search services to check out your baby sitter, nanny, au pair, day care center and staff, and even school teachers and workers.

You can use it to search geographically and find out if known sex offenders live near you. It's now possible to determine exactly where they live.

When You Choose a Criminal Background Search Service, Here's What to Look For

To help you find the best possible service for criminal background checking, here are the things I've found important to consider during a review:

1. Free versus Paid

I've been disappointed by the free services. Better to pay the small fee and get quality information you can trust. Many of the better services have special offers of multi-year memberships for a low one-time fee. The cost can be less than what you'd pay for a low-priced blouse or golf shirt.

2. Speed

You want a service that responds quickly and gives you exactly the information you need. Make sure you try it out. Check both speed and accuracy!

3. Proprietary Database

If a service compiles their own database, it's a sign they're more likely to be in the business for the long term. That's because a proprietary database is costly to build and maintain. A company wouldn't invest if they didn't expect to stay in business.

From a usability standpoint, a dedicated database is better too. You get a single interface that you can quickly learn.

(One note: I've never seen a free service that has its own database. Most of the free services I've checked out are really just link farms - they just point you at some public or government database. You could get that from the general search engines.)

4. Training and Support

Be sure you can easily learn to use any service you choose. Actually, you'll find that the better services are pretty intuitive: you'll know what to do just by looking at it. But better services will also provide extra, in-depth searching. If you ever need the extra, it might require you dig into it a bit before you can fully use it. Just make sure your service has easy, accessible ways to learn, like tutorials.

And don't ignore support. Sooner or later you'll have questions or there will be something you need help to get resolved. The best services offer free, live support with a phone number or live chat where you can talk directly with a person.

Final Word

It's a threatening world but fortunately, you can use modern technology to better protect your children. Like the experts recommend, sign up for Criminal Background Checking service and use it regularly.
