Are you being cyberstalked? Receiving tons of unwanted emails? Do you just want to know who else is getting those mass emails from your friends and family (and you don't recognize who owns which email address)? Or maybe an email address you've seen recently reminds you of an old flame or an old friend and you want to know for sure. Did you know you can conduct a reverse email search?
Because each email address is unique, you can conduct a reverse email search to find information about the owner (including things like name, address, complaint history, etc.). There are several companies out there willing to provide this information to you simply by providing them an email address. Though some services claim to be free, they will generally only provide limited information (like internet provider and likely location of email address owner) for free. If you are looking for more detailed information, it's probably going to cost you. But for the chance to discover your cyberstalker, or reconnect with an old flame, it may just be worth it!
Type "reverse email search" or "reverse email lookup" into any search engine and you are going to get a list a mile long of companies that will conduct a search for you. You may have to check with more than one service provider in order to get the information that you are looking for, so be patient. Of course, the most important thing to check first and foremost is that you are searching for the correct e-mail address. When you discover an e-mail address that you'd like to check, carefully write it down. When you are conducting your search, be sure you've input the address correctly for your best chance of getting what you came to find.
If you can't find the owner information that you are looking for utilizing a search provider and you really want to know, you may need to consider hiring a professional to do the searching for you.
Keep in mind that some people, for any number of reasons, are not interested in being found via reverse email search (or any other method!). These people may take numerous steps to disguise themselves and you (or your professional) may never find out who they are.
The internet has had a cool way of making the world a smaller place by connecting us with people far and wide. Reverse email searching is just one more tool we have at our fingertips to help us close the gaps even further.
