NumberInvestigator.com Warns of Fraudulent Use of Better Business Bureau Organization’s Name

(PRWEB) June 15, 2011

NumberInvestigator.com warns consumers that criminals are deceptively masquerading as the BBB, telling victims they have won a lottery in an attempt to steal thousands of dollars from people who think that they have hit the jackpot. Up to $ 80,000 has been lost by individuals who have been contacted over the phone by people who pose as BBB employees. The “employee” then tells the victim that they have won a lottery and in order to receive the prize they must first wire money. Unfortunately for the victims, the money is directly wired to the scammers.

“Many people are struggling in the current economy and when someone tells you that you’ve won millions in a lottery, it can seem like an answer to prayer,” said Steve Cox, President and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. “Every year, tens of thousands of people contact BBB about a suspicious lottery and instead of cashing in, many lose thousands of dollars they don’t have.”

NumberInvestigator.com arms consumers with a variety of resources to help them avoid falling victim to scams such as these. The BBB reminds consumers that the organization does not run a lottery or award prizes. Consumers who receive a call from a person claiming to be an employee of the BBB should consider the following tips to avoid becoming a victim themselves.

●    Collect information from the caller. Ask for a full name, contact phone number, and address. Use NumberInvestigator.com to do a reverse-phone search for the 10-digit number that called.

●    Confirm facts with the organization itself, whether it is the Better Business Bureau or another organization. Use contact information found on the organization’s website.

●    Do not reply to phone numbers or Web links provided by the “employee”

●    Don’t fall for a check, they often times turn out to be fake. The scammers send the check with instructions to deposit the check and wire back a portion to cover fees or taxes. The check may initially clear, but most often turns out to be fake. The wired money is taken out of the victim’s account and is sent to the scammer.

●    Don’t pay money to get money. Scammers are successful at convincing victims to pay money up front. Do not comply.

Telephone Number Info Including Name Address and Carrier Data Made Available through API

Carrier Data and Telephone Number Lookups

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) April 19, 2011

Telephony Intelligence Data Services has released the engine behind TIRS the telephone and carrier lookup tool for use with business and government applications. The TIDS API allows companies to integrate real time telephone number data that are usually only provided by expensive consumer websites. The information provided by this telephone data API includes the owner’s name, street address, city, state and zipcode. It can also provide the phone carrier that the telephone number owner uses along with additional equipment information.

Organizations that are using this data range from Local, State and the Federal Government to long distance companies who need carrier data information. These companies are provided with API documentation that their developers then use to integrate the data provided by the TIDS API into their systems. The prepaid service is unique from anything currently available and becoming widely popular.

The phone lookup application TIRS is a long standing tool that has been used by investigators for years. TIRS allows approved users to generate reports with the same telephone information without any development needed. Now, with the addition of the API for development use to the TIRS web application, Telephony Intelligence Data Services has telephone information solutions for both small and larger businesses and organizations.

If you are wondering the identity of a certain unknown wireless call that calls you again and again or would like to know whom your spouse is speaking with on the phone when you are not around, you can now use a cell phone reverse lookup directory to quickly discover any caller’s name, address, and other personal information.

The best way to obtain the most accurate and reliable information associated with almost any wireless number is to get on the website of a telephone directory that specializes in providing the name, address, previous addresses, and much more personal information connected to the telephone numbers that cannot be found for free anywhere else.  These telephone numbers include:

•    Wireless
•    Fax
•    Unlisted
•    VoIP

Not only that, you can also find complete owner details for the listed landline numbers also found in the free directories.  So, these directories are a one-stop source for searching every kind of telephone number you can think of.

You should keep in mind, however, that not all reverse cell phone directories are the same.  Each directory is privately owned and compiles its own database.  So, in order to find the directory that provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available, look for a directory that, first of all, backs each report with a money back guarantee.  Also, you want to work with a directory that:

•    Continually updates a database of over 200 million mobile phone numbers.
•    Operates a completely secure site to protect your own personal against identity theft.  (Look for the MacAfee and VeriSign verifications.)
•    Allows each visitor the ability to freely and confidentially search the site’s database before deciding to purchase the results of any search.

If you find a directory that displays all of these characteristics, you will have found a respected directory to perform any cell phone reverse lookup.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t get the name and address for just about any cell phone number.  All you need to know is where to get these answers.

How To Locate a Cell Phone User Instantly

If you are looking for a quick way to find the name, location, and other pertinent personal information behind any wireless number, the easiest way to do it is by consulting a reverse directory that specializes in providing this kind of information.

Now, you can spend a lot of time searching in vain for this information for free online.  But coming from experience, I definitely wouldn’t advise this route.  It’s a dead end.  There are also plenty of sites that advertise results of mobile phone searches for free, but in the end they will always lead to disappointment and a fee.  And very often, the results of searches from these fraudulent sites are inaccurate, outdated, and sometimes you may not even get results at all – even after you have paid!

But why do results cost any money at all?  The reason is simple.  The major wireless carriers like Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile own and manage the information behind all the mobile numbers in their database.  This information is still considered private information, so they are under no obligation to offer a directory of any kind to the public.  If you look, you’ll find they don’t even provide a paid directory.

Yet in the last few years, they began to lease this information to third party data brokers – the reverse cell phone directories.  These brokers not only collect identifying information behind wireless numbers, but every other kind of telephone number as well.  Included on this list are:

o    VoIP Numbers
o    Unlisted Numbers
o    Fax Numbers
o    Listed Landline Numbers

They compile their data from a multitude of paid and free resources.  So, if you are looking to find a name and address by cell phone number, or any other kind of telephone number, this is this directory you want to check out.

Just look for a directory that:

1.    Allows you to freely and confidentially browse the database prior to purchasing results of any inquiry.

2.    Stands behind the integrity of those results with a full 60-day money back guarantee.

Get those two things right, and you’ll have found yourself a reliable and trustworthy directory from which to seek out and identify virtually anyone.
