How To Unearth People You Are Looking For On the web By Yourself

By: Bob McGuire

How do you find people? That depends on whether the persons are trying to hide or not. Even if they do not want to be located, most individuals are animals of routine, and so the persons leave hints.

For example, even if a guy is willing to give up his given name, and move far away, he is hardly ever willing to change who he would be. If he is a bowler he will still want to bowl. Thus, if you possess an idea about which town he moved to, you can call bowling alleys nearby to get detail on new league affiliates. If I were to move about and change my surname, you could still almost certainly find me where people gather to play chess. Routine can predict manners and location.

On the other hand, most of the time, individuals aren't really trying to hide - or not trying very hard. They may have left town and keep their phone number unlisted, but didn't change their name. How do you unearth such people quickly? Here is one technique.

Uncover People With Phone Pretexts

Suppose you want to find John. Set out by calling any phone numbers you hold for him. If you get an response, ask for John. If he has moved, you would like to get any information you can from the individual on the line. To do this, use straightforward phone storys .

Phone pretexts are useful stories, otherwise known as lies. A pretext could be as simple as "Hi, this is Max. I'm a pal of John's from work. Do you know where I can find him, or a number where I can reach him?" Of course, you will have to be ready for a question or two, approximating "What do you need to reach him for?"

Have a story ready, using whatever you know about John to make it as plausible as possible. If, for example, you know where he worked, and that he was always listening to music, you might say that you have a pile of borrowed CDs to return. Practicing your story, and considering other problems that may arise from it aids too.

Then there are the more complicated ruses. One of these may involve a temptation like, "I have a check for $500 John. He won the contest here in our store and I can't seem to stumble on him. If you have his address, I can just drop it in the mail today." Once more, have a story ready that answers the expected questions.

If the person you are talking to rebuffs to help or maintains not to know where John is, give them your phone number. Tell them to have John call if they see him or talk to him. If the story is conceivable, John may wonder if there really is a $500 check, and he has to call to find out. Even though he blocks caller ID, he may tell you where he is or trickle clues once you hold him on the phone.

Constantly try to get any detail you can while you have any person on the phone. John's brother might refuse to give you an address or phone number, but he could maybe mention the city that John has moved to. Keep him talking, and ask him who else could help you. Then call up those people.

You yourself have to decide for yourself when a phone ruse is justified. If you are not at ease with an out-and-out lie, you could just mysteriously claim that "I need John to call me. here is the phone number." (Be sure it isn't one he'll recognize if he is hiding from you). Any way you do it, using the phone is one of the easiest, fastest and least costly ways to find people.
