Despite the obvious
truth, companies are still marketing and advertising the "mythical and
mystical" free reverse cell
phone lookup. It seems to have never occurred
to consumers that companies are not going to pay advertising
dollars to advertise a free reverse cell phone lookup or cell phone reverse lookup as others may call it. How can they exist if the service is
free? The answer? Its not free. Sorry to be the bearer of the obvious
truth. Unfortunately, this reverse
phone lookup scam continues.
Here is how this free reverse cell phone lookup scam works
A company (usually one who does not provide a real cell phone look up service), places a plant article or a Google or Yahoo
cost-per-click advertisement for a free reverse phone lookup
cell phone search. The consumer who wants exactly that, eagerly clicks
the ad, and is then transported to a nice, clean looking
"search box" site, wherein the cell phone number he/she has, needs
to be entered in order to find the name and address of that
cell phone number owner. Victory! At last, the consumer has found what
he/she needs! He/She can finally find people by phone number for free! At least, that is what they think.
Perhaps he/she is trying to catch their suspected cheating spouse (or
significant other) once and for all. Maybe they have been getting
harassing calls and need to identify the source. Whatever the reason,
they need to identify a cell phone or "private" number, and finally,
a reverse telephone directory is offering that service for free, woohoo!
But wait, hold the celebration because.....
First of all, the ability to run a reverse number search on a cell phone number and obtain the
owner's name and address from a search box on a website means there has
to be a database of hundreds of millions of cell phone numbers
somewhere, right? From every cell phone carrier, right?. Of Course, but
free? Well, the short answer--not a chance! Okay, back to
reality folks! But unfortunately, people actually believe
that the cellular phone giants are going to give out each of their
private customer's names and addresses for free. Hint: no such database exists,
and never has. There are some databases, like those who
gather information from the credit bureaus, that might contain some
cell phone numbers, because people have listed their
cell phone number on a credit application at some point. But this
hardly qualifies as a reverse cell phone lookup directory, and is mostly
inacurate, since those people may have since, moved and changed their
numbers.
So back to the target of the scam
This poor person, desperate for the name and address of a cell phone
owner, happily inputs the digits in the reverse phone lookup
site, as instructed, and presses "Enter." The reverse telephone lookup
site displays some "teaser" meter, to indicate that it is
searching every database. In a few seconds, he/she is told that the
information has been found, and that they could proceed to the next
page to access it. The consumer does.
Now here is what usually happens...
The next page
explains that the information is almost theirs and actually displays
some fraudulent teaser results, But its not free after all, the real
data has to be bought. Right
there, that is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! A low price is offered
(usually about $2.95 to $5.95 dollars), and he/she is reminded that the
answer to all of their questions are just a couple clicks away
after they pay the small fee. Reluctantly, the consumer pays,
since the fee is so low, they figure, they have very little to lose.
However, since the fees are so low, these companies have a NO REFUND policy, so
you are out your money if your reverse look up results yield no results, or worst, outdated results.
Here is where the problem lies...
The information
they get, may be from some outdated databases, run by a fly-by-night
operator, that simply wants to take advantage of the huge public demand
for these reverse phone look up data services. They may indeed have a collection of data, but
it probably was not bought directly from the cell phone
carriers, since these lists are sold by the major cell phone carriers
for millions apiece (on a monthly basis and updated every month). In
fact, did you know the ongoing monthly
selling of these reverse cell phone lookup directories represent a huge "cash cow"
for the major cell phone carriers? Moreover, for some cellular companies, the
sales of these lists represent 15-20% of their annual gross sales, or
billions of dollars per year! Did
you really think they would bypass that "easy" monthly ongoing cash by
providing those lists for free on the Internet? Since most
of these cell phone companies are publically owned, they are under
constant pressure from shareholders to increase quarterly earnings, therefore
there is no way they can provide a reverse number lookup
of a cell phone number for free.
This
is exactly how free
cell phone lookup scams
work. If you want an actual
investigation of a number, and need to find the current name and
address from a cell phone owner, you must order a search from
a company that does not use outdated databases--a large reputable
company with the financial strength to buy these costly cell
phone number lists from all cell phone carriers, on a monthly basis.
and pay a large staff to constantly update and tweak the
lists. This
company must also back their results with a 100% "no questions asked" money
back guarantee, thus forcing the company to extremely
high quality standards. We at the People
