The internet provides many opportunities. Many cost no money at all. You can play free games, or you might try a free person search tool.
Person search engines let you perform background checks. You visit a website and type in someone’s name. When you do, you get information about them. It comes back within a few moments.
You can use these free tools to learn more about someone you know or someone you just met. We’ll discuss some underutilized ways you can use one of them now.
Traffic Violations
When you look up someone’s name, the algorithm looks at public records. If their name shows up anywhere, the algorithm reports back what it finds. It can access any public record, including police databases that record traffic violations.
Maybe a friend wrecked their car, and they won’t tell you what happened. Perhaps you suspect your significant other and this person had a liaison at some point. Maybe your spouse or partner knows about the car wreck, but they won’t reveal any information.
You can learn details and then confront them. Either your spouse or friend might break down and admit their infidelity when you reveal you know the crash’s details.
Someone’s Marital Status
Maybe you meet someone via a social media site or dating app. They seem perfect. They’re witty, charming, and physically attractive.
You might think they’re too perfect and something’s amiss. Maybe they have a spouse and a family as well. They’re concealing this information because they want a physical relationship on the side.
You can find out whether this person has a spouse and children. If they do, you can confront them. Maybe they’ll say they’re divorcing their spouse, or they might say you caught them, and they’re just playing emotional games with you.
Someone’s Sex Offender Status
Maybe someone moves in next door, and they seem a little suspicious. If you have kids, you should check their status on the sex offender registry.
If you find they’re a registered sex offender, you can tell your kids they should steer clear and never go on this person’s property. You can warn your neighbors if they have children as well.
Property Ownership Records
You can check property ownership records. Maybe you meet someone and they claim they have very little money, but you learn they actually own property.
This sometimes happens with your family members. Maybe you have a spouse or cousin who claims poverty, and they borrow money periodically. If they ask whether you’ll loan them some cash, you might reveal you know they’re property owners and they’re not fooling you.
Someone’s Employment History
You can check someone’s employment history. If you’re doing some hiring for your business, you must check whether someone has the background they claim. Maybe they say they worked for some different companies, including some large and reputable ones.
You can quickly confirm this or find out this person lied. Maybe they don’t have the work background they claimed. They tried saying they worked for Microsoft or P&G, and they didn’t think you’d check their story that closely.
If this happens, you can feel sure you should not hire this person. You can go with another, more suitable candidate instead.
Someone’s Education Background
Maybe you’re hiring people for your company, and you want individuals with strong academic backgrounds. Some candidates might say they attended a prestigious university like Yale or Princeton.
You can learn whether they did or not. If they attended, you should find online records when you use one of these person search tools.
You can also find out whether someone you’re dating has the educational background they claim. Maybe they invented an entire former life to impress you. If you learn they didn’t attend the school they claimed, perhaps they lied about things as well. You can confront them and find out.
Someone’s Contact Information
Maybe you had a friend in high school or college, and you two lost touch. You miss them, though, and you wish you had their contact information.
You can sometimes find it via one of these free person search tools. You can type in their name, and then you might get back a physical address, a phone number, or perhaps an email. Many times, these searches can retrieve this information for you.
These search tools can provide entertainment, but they’re also practical. Use one, and you’ll quickly find information about individuals you know or have just met.
