Reverse Cell Phone Number Lookup Scams
Many websites claim to offer reverse cell phone lookup directories for free. However, nearly all of them require signups for unrelated offers such as free trials of products and services, loans, or information about degree-granting organizations, before they will display the requested name and address associated with a cell phone number.
There is a reason for such aggressive advertising. Cell phone records are heavily protected by privacy laws, which make reverse cell phone lookup directories expensive to maintain and keep up to date. Websites which offer the information for free must generate revenue to remain useful as a service, and they do so via referrals to sponsoring services.
Unfortunately for the user, the sheer number of advertisements and unwanted signups can range from momentary annoyance and inconvenience to hours of additional phone calls to third-party computer systems to cancel all the signups. The hassles that come with a free service may not be worth the money saved by not paying a small fee.
