Jeff already has experience in using reverse phone searches, he used it before to trace an unknown number he has found on his monthly phone bill. It turned out to a phone number of a really good plumber who fixed his sink last month, but who's number Jeff has unfortunately lost.
He used an online directory providing reverse telephone number listing, and had that repair man's name, address and land line business number in 10 seconds. Finding a good and reliable repair man these days can be like winning a lottery, so this time Jeff made sure to both write it down in his phone book as well as memorize it in his cell phone.
After using reverse directory to find cell phone listing he needed Jeff completely forgot about this valuable service, until one day it was his turn to spend the day with his two daughters Linda and Cindy. Linda is five and quite a handful, Cindy is a ten year old little lady who thinks her dad is the greatest in the world. Unfortunately Jeff's wife and Linda's and Cindy's mom had important meeting today so Jeff was on his own.
In the middle of their play Jeff had a phone call he had to take so he told Cindy to watch Linda just for a few minutes. It turned out to be an important business client, so Jeff spent next ten minutes talking to him, naturally he was keeping an eye on his two girls. But client was upset so Jeff just for a minute or two searched his Blackberry to find the e-mail with information his client needed.
About an hour later as they were driving home Jeff noticed his older girl Cindy, is upset with something so he asked her what's wrong. So Cindy told him that as he was talking with his client a man had approached the park fence where Linda and Cindy were playing and started talking to her. He flattered her and told her she looks real pretty, then he gave her his cell phone number and told her he would like to talk to her again.
Now Jeff was outraged and asked his daughter to describe the man, she told him he was slightly older then Jeff, just like their neighbor and good family friend Alex. What to do now, Jeff can't leave his kids alone at home and go searching for this man, not after this. He'll have trouble leaving his kids alone for 5 minutes ever again.
Then he remembered that online directory providing reverse phone searches. He brought his laptop in a living room and while watching his two daughters play, 4 feet away from him, he checked the phone number the man gave to Cindy.
Since he was a member already, he logged in and typed in the number in search box. Immediately he was provided with reverse telephone number listing and tons of information about its owner. Now that he had a name and address of that man he started digging deeper.
He used extended people lookup that selected reverse phone searches have, and was terrified to find that the man is a convicted sex offender and has a lengthy criminal record.
As soon as his wife returned home Jeff went to the police with all the information he received from reverse phone searches and was relieved when two days latter that man was arrested. Next time he took his kids to park the only phone call he answered was from his wife.
