Reverse Number Look Up the future is here!
January 6th, 2009It is a popular belief that Information Technology saw the most advancements. Nothing can be further from the truth! It is actually the medical world which is seeing the biggest amoutn ofgrowth. And it’s not really surprising if you read the medical magazines. Probably the biggest discovery of all is the discovery of stem cells. This is not to say that IT is lagging far behind either. Information technology has seen its fair share of growth also. Alas, some of these developments have been linked to controversy! Reverse phone lookup would be a good case. 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. It made the task almost impossible to perform (especially for those who lived in highly populated areas).
Well times have changed. Now you can look up a phone number in seconds and headache free. All you have to do is go to a page such as: http://phone-lookup-spy.com/954/, put in the phone number and hit search.
You get so much information based on only one variable. Things like surname and postal address are often undisclosed. Some cell phone lookups can reveal even more. If you are lucky enough to find Cell Tower triangulation search you might be able to find out the approximate location of a person
Potential benefits of a reverse number look up are innumerable. One can protect himself effectively against prank callers and stalkers. You can find information on the company that called you. Or maybe you just want to send your favourite uncle a Christmas present, but only have his phone number.
Unfortunately the bad guys can take advantage of the situation as well. A stalker might trace a victim’s address based on the phone number. A loan shark might get the address of a poor gambling victim. I guess you see my point.
Hopefully a couple of bad apples won’t spoil it for everyone. Just because they decide to cross the line it doesn’t mean that others will follow their example. Banning reverse phone look up, would be like banning forks, just because someone can use it as a weapon.
