Trying to find out who owns a cell phone number that keeps texting me. Anyone know how to do a reverse lookup, that is reputable and preferably free

If you live in Detroit, there is a prostitute named Sharonda on 5th avenue. You can stick your cell up her box and it will read and interpret the number by crossreferencing it with her clients and government databases.

i don't mind paying, but want it be a reputable source. Appears there are many when you google this, but they appear like they could be just a cc processor waiting to scam you

Intellius is a scam company. Amazing that Indian guy made himself into a billionaire by being a scam artist. He is of the ilk of those street people that burn the eyes of children out of their heads so they can make more money begging. No joke.

Watch one of his interviews and tell me you can't see it. Scum of the Earth.

Just looked that one up, it's like many others, they want to charge you monthly. None appear to be a flat charge for the look up

Much of the time the reverse phone lookups lag behind if a number has swapped hands on occasion.

If you consider it harassment take it to the police & they can definitely find out...

Quite frankly, I have no idea what you expect to do with it if you do find out. No one is really going to use their resources to find someone who is spamming you. The credit card companies don't even take a hard line on fraud any more. I've had foreign transactions put through on a few of my credit cards and reported them. My bank or credit card issuer just refunds the money and sends me a new credit card with a different number. Hell, one time I caught it within minutes of the charge and it was for airfare. They could have easily reported it to the authorities and had someone at the airport to arrest the person. They couldn't care less. The easiest thing to do is ignore and/or block it.

Guys, this isn't really a harassment issue. It's stupid, silly drunk texts at 3:30 in the morning and crap. Usually they are funny actually, but they never respond after that. It's a mere curiosity thing, that's it. And they are a much different area code

I've used intellius for finding out information on people. More along the lines of a background check. I've yet to ever find a reverse number look up that was legit though. I'd be curious if there actually was one that existed.

Believe it can only been done through the courts/authorities unless you know of someone who works for the company the number is from

Probably a VOIP,and a friend messing with you. Finding out the number won't do any good...

If you want to be funny back to them, go to bluffmycall.com, and you can call them & make any number you want show up ringing on their end.

For instance, you can call them & make their own number ring on their phone, and they'll wonder what what the heck is going on.

If you ever get local calls & answer but it's some promotional BS, this is how they're doing it.

You can play some cruel jokes on ppl with this.

Imagune calling a guy or girl up when they're with their new partner, and making their ex's number show up...^<<^

theres tons of apps that allow you to create a fake number and text. id say its a waste of money to find out. especially if its an area code thats no where near you
