I’ve found that Fast People Search shows personal phone numbers. However, it shows a list of them, past and present, without indicating which is the current one.
In my own case, the number at the top of the list is my current cell number, so maybe that’s the case for everyone. It even shows some of my ancient, extinct land line numbers, and my phone number from when I still lived with my mom before I was married. Wow.
Yes, it’s for a person, not a business, so I’m trying to find searchable white pages. It’s not someone that I know, so I can’t go through friends.
Basically, I moved into a new place last year, and this year I’ve started getting mail from them from the IRS and the state tax board. I’ve been scrawling “No Longer at This Address” on the envelope and tossing them back in the mail slot, but I thought it would be nice to let them know they need to make sure their address is up to date. I had this happen at a previous address when I started getting letters from Social Security for them, and I was able to track them down. Now, not so easy.
If I want a business or personal number google has been my friend. However government or civic services not so much. Here at least we need our hard copy phone directory blue pages for any of those reliable listings.
I looked myself up on it, and while it got a lot of stuff right (like old addresses), it got a number of the dates ridiculously wrong.
For example, it correctly lists the address of an apartment I lived in before I got married. However, it indicates that I was in that apartment for 11 years, from 2000 until 2012; I lived there for less than two years, and moved out of it in 1992.
This is how I look at it. If it’s a business, then it’s easy to find. If it’s a person and you don’t have their number, they don’t want you to have it. Maybe ask a mutual friend for their whatsapp or snap or add them on FB or IG and slide into their DMs.
I remember stumbling across FastPeopleSearch a while ago. It had a lot of errors.
Just checking again:
1 phone number right, another completely wrong.
Current and previous address right. But got the years for the previous totally wrong. No overlap at all. Also included a wrong previous address.
Among people living with me is someone I’ve never heard of as well as kids that haven’t lived here in years.
Got an incorrect email address for one of my kids but matched to me.
Almost all the “relatives” listed are people I’ve never heard of.
This is a problem with data like this. If most of the data is wrong, the “good” data is worthless. A stranger looking at my profile has no idea what’s right or not.
Same here, though it did come up with a guy two years older, who has lived in many of the same cities I’ve lived in. None of the addresses or phone numbers match any of mine, though, so I don’t think they have cross-pollinated the data. Weird.
That site gets me weirdly wrong: It has me living in Deming, NM, for a while. I never lived there. My parents moved there and lived there for a brief period after I’d moved away from them and started attending college; I visited there a few times, but I never received mail there, I never voted there, and I never paid taxes there. It also shows one of my previous addresses as a current address and my current address as a previous address, one which I apparently lived in a single day almost six years ago: September 10, 2013. I’ve been here close to a decade now.
