subject: What Your Cell Phone Could Be Costing You [print this page] Our world is evolving at a whooping rate.
We tend to believe that computer tech world is the one that's seeing the biggest amount of progress. Nothing can be further from the truth! Health and medicinal world is the one with the most new discoveries. And it's not really surprising if you read the medical publications.
Every month there is a big new announcement being made by the medical community. This is not to say that IT is lagging far behind either. Information technology has seen its fair share of growth also. Unfortunately some of it is quite controversial. Let's take reverse phone book lookup as an example. Before if you wanted to get a name of a person you would need to manually look for the phone number in a telephone book. Can you imagine sifting through all of these phone numbers? I sure can't.
Today you can run reverse phone lookups directly from the comfort of your own home. Simply visit a web-site like: telephone-investigators.net/902/682/ enter the phone number and voila.
Information like the first and last name of the user and address is readily available. In the case of cell phone lookup you might get even more information. For example if the carrier supports this feature you might be able to get the actual location of an individual to whom the number belongs!
Potential benefits of a reverse number lookup are innumerable. Prank calls and harassment calls can now be traced and reported to authorities. Running a toll free number check can tell you the name of the company that was calling. Or maybe you just want to send your favourite uncle a Christmas present, but only have his phone number, well now you can quickly get the address that goes with it too.
If only we all had good intentions... Bad folks can take advantage of this service as well. Some maniac can find out where you live if they have your phone number. A loan shark might get the address of a poor gambling victim. I guess you see my point.
A criminal might be able to find a debtor. Hopefully a couple of bad apples won't spoil it for everyone. If one bad guy does it, it doesn't mean that the service is bad. I think we should still enjoy the freedom of information that we currently have.
