Have you ever been up all week working on an important project for work, your child's science project or taking care of a sick child or family member, and now you're finally sound asleep and enjoying your first chance in days to get a good night's sleep. Suddenly, the shrill ringing of the phone wakes you up in a panic. Still shaken, you put the receiver to your ear, only to discover the call was a prank. Angrily, you slam down the phone and try to go back to sleep while you tell yourself that you'll find a way to stop prank callers from harassing you again. What's the Solution? We've all received prank calls. In some cases, they are merely one-time annoyances. For other people, prank calls are downright harassment. The first step is to identify who the callers are. You have a number of ways of doing this. You can hire a private investigator that may be able to help you stop the calls, but you may end up spending hundreds of dollars just to find out the identity of the person who owns the number. You could also try doing a reverse phone lookup at one of the many free sites available, but most prank callers don't use public landline numbers which are the only ones you can find information on through free services. These days, your best option is to go through one of the online reverse phone search services. Generally, you'll pay just a single fee for unlimited access to hundreds of millions of records, including information on cell phone numbers, unlisted numbers, and landline numbers. When you enter the area code and seven digit number, and you'll be provided with information like the number owner's name and address - which will help you stop your prank caller once and for all! With some services, you also get advanced tools like free search assistance, access to expanded people search database records, even family member information! What to Do Next? So, once you have the information, what do you do? For one, you could wait until you receive the next prank call - then call them by name - so they know that YOU know exactly who THEY are. Most prank callers are children and will quit calling for fear of their parents being called. If they don't quit, you'll have the information you need to approach their parents, the police or to file a harassment complaint. In most cases, you won't have to resort to those drastic actions. You can usually stop prank callers once they realize they're no longer operating in the dark. Just remember - if you want to stop prank callers, you need information - and the best place to get that information is through a Reverse Phone Search.
