I found a handy little service called the Reverse Phone Detective, it’s really handy for checking up on annoying or unknown calls.
Do you ever get those phone calls that come at the most inopportune time? It never fails; I’ll sit down to dinner with the family, and the phone will start ringing. We never answer the phone during dinner, but after dinner I like to check up on any calls and see from whom it came. On most nights, there are zero messages, no matter how many phone calls.
I used to just leave it at that, walk away and see the same numbers day after day. Sometimes I’d try calling back and either get a lot of annoying computer noises, someone in India or — once in a long while — someone I actually wanted to talk to.
One of my sons actually suggested I do a reverse phone lookup to see who had been calling me. I never thought of it before, it sounded like something I’d see on Law & Order. But sure enough, after a quick search for “reverse phone lookup” online, I found exactly what I was looking for.
The first thing I did was use the online reverse lookup to find the number of a really annoying telemarketer.
I called them back and was really nice about telling them to never call me again — and they didn’t!
I also used the service to call a few old friends back who had called but had not left messages. It was great to catch up with them, and now I wonder how many calls I missed that I actually wanted to receive.
The reverse phone search got a bookmark on my Internet browser since I use it so much.

There were a ton of other features beside the simple reverse phone number lookup — some stuff that really sounded like detective tools:
I could see it being used to check up on your kids’ phone use, or even do some detective work on your spouse. Though I used it only to find a couple friends and give a piece of mind to telemarketers — which was well enough for me!
The service uses information stored in public records so the records are up to date and it’s all legal. The Reverse Phone Detective can also help with your own privacy. You can use the service to “opt-out” of the online phone directory.

Reverse Phone Detective Review by an actual customer, March 11, 2010
This company is SCAMMING people. Even the favorable reviews here are B.S., most likely added by the company themselves.
They offer absolutely nothing in their report that you cannot obtain online, for free.
If you were unable to return a name from a search engine, their report will not contain this information either.
Once you have paid for their worthless service, they offer a more detailed “tracer report,” at a cost of… $100!
I contacted them before trying the service to see their response time, and to get a phone number, since you might have noticed they do not provide one. The response came back the same day.
They offer a 100% money back guarentee. Well guess what… I emailed them to explain that I am 100% UNsatisfied with their false advertizing and have yet to receive even a reponse, never mind the refund.
Avoid these con artists.

This service sucks!!!!!It provides no useful information that is not readily available on the internet.
You can buy a phone tracer report for an additional $15 per use. I tried the tracer report once, and it didn’t provide any information.

Reverse Phone Detective Review by Pat, July 16, 2009
Wasn’t able to get the right address and owner of phone number but was easy to get refund. Tried their reverse lookup a couple months later and did get the right information.
