Private Investigators use various methods for obtaining accurate information when working with Mass Tort Attorneys. One of those methods is called Reverse Search. This is where the PI uses a piece of information that they know is accurate in order to find another piece of information. In this case, that information is a phone number.
Addresses and phone numbers can be used to verify information. You can see which phone numbers are associated with certain addresses, and which phone numbers are associated with one another. Does one person have multiple landlines? Multiple cell phone numbers? What addresses or names are they associated with? These are questions that a Private Investigator will ask and answer.
Situations in which a Private Investigator would use a Reverse Search in order to verify or obtain information are:
● Missing persons
● Background investigations
● Employment checks
● Track a debtor
● Locate a witness
● Locate an expert for court trial
● Everyday business
The more information a Private Investigator has to begin with, the easier it will be to obtain and verify the information. While doing a web search may suffice for such a task, Private Investigators have more reliable tools at their disposal when researching information for a Mass Tort Attorney.
Sometimes, PI’s even have to find phone numbers that are unlisted. That is where the real work begins. Private investigators have to search records like resumes, applications, and social media profiles. From there, the PI may call the number to verify to whom the number belongs.
Whether finding someone easily found all over the web, or finding those who are hiding, a Private Investigator will know where to begin and how to ensure the information presented is verified.
