"Trace phone call" is the command many telephone companies used to receive in response to their customer’s efforts to stop annoying and harassing prank calls.
Being able to trace these phone calls is important because you’re not going to learn much from your Caller ID service, since most prank callers use an unlisted number– but by using ReversePhoneDetective.com, you can trace phone calls and stop prank callers dead in their tracks.
There are multiple ways to trace phone calls, but they are not all equal… Continue Reading »

Dealing with a prank caller is one of the most frustrating– and often scariest– experiences you can go through.
What’s interesting is that you never would have thought it’d be such a challenge until you’ve had to actually deal with a prank caller yourself. Here are some "real world" tips for how you can deal with a prank caller– and how to STOP them once and for all:
Tip #1: Report the prank caller
First things first. It’s not uncommon for break-in’s, kidnappings, and even violent crimes to begin with a seemingly "innocent" prank call.
Even if someone just keeps calling you and then hanging up– that’s reason enough to file a complaint, and it only takes a few minutes…
After all, better safe than sorry. Just call your local police and explain the problem. They have standard procedures for dealing with prank callers. (By no means are you the first person in the world who’s dealt with this!)
Tip #2: Trace the caller
If you think the caller might just be a silly friend– or you don’t want to involve the police yet– the next best thing to do is TRACE the caller’s phone number to find the owner.
The fastest way to trace a call is by simply using caller ID. Almost every phone these days has caller ID, so this step should be easy… if the phone number isn’t listed, or if the call is coming from a cell phone number, you’ll need to run a special lookup.
Tip #3: Run a reverse phone lookup
If you have a number but no name/address, it’s time to conduct a reverse phone lookup. Your results will tell you WHO is calling, WHERE the number is located from, the PHONE COMPANY the number belongs to, and the ADDRESS of the owner (when available).

Cyberstalking, online harassment, online abuse and online bullying are all very serious offenses that have a great deal of overlap in their definitions. They are all essentially harassment and/or stalking over the internet or another digital communication device (e.g. cell phone, instant message).
The labels generally refer to a scale of harassment: online bullying is relatively "mild," cyberstalking is "severe," and online abuse/harassment are somewhere in the middle.
Stalking refers to repetitive behavior that is intrusive, harassing, or threatening. Harassment is communication that is unwanted and aggressive, disturbing, or vulgar in nature. Harassment makes the subject feel uncomfortable or even in danger.
It’s hard to get an idea of how frequently cyberstalking occurs, because a lot of it goes unreported. The U.S. Dept. of Justice and Centers for Disease Control released a study called "Stalking in America" in 1998, concluding that: Continue Reading »

Landline phone instructions:
Your cellular or landline phone company sends your phone identifying information with every call. One of your account privacy features allows you to block your phone number when calling others. If you have it set to blocked, your phone number will actually be transmitted to the other person’s phone, but it will not be presented on their caller ID. Instead, the recipient will see "private call" or "anonymous" on their caller ID.
The two non-permanent blocking options are: Continue Reading »

From a landline telephone:
1.) Get a caller ID. A caller ID is the device that attaches to your phone to identify the phone number (and frequently the name) of who is calling you. Don’t pick up phone calls from numbers you don’t recognize.
2.) Is it from a telemarketer? The single most useful tool to prevent telemarketers from calling you is placing your number on the Do Not Call Registry. You can place your cell phone and/or landline number on the list in one of two ways: Continue Reading »
