7 Ways to Find Information on Anybody

July 30, 2020

Whether you have your suspicions about a new neighbor who has recently moved in on your street, have just started talking to a potential new date online or are getting bad vibes from a new coworker at your place of employment, it’s always good to be able to find out information about somebody that they might not be very forthcoming with on their own. Whether you want to make sure that somebody is who they say they are, find out more about their past, or determine whether or not somebody has a criminal record or sketchy history that they are not telling you about, here’s the way to do it.

Online Background Checks

Anybody can conduct a background check on a person in a non-official capacity by simply searching for them on a site like People Records Reviews. This site allows you to search through public records by simply typing in somebody’s name or other identifying information about them, which in turn enables you to see any public records that are available on them, like past arrest and offender records that they might not have been upfront about with you about.

Social Media

Social media is quickly becoming one of the best tools to use if you want to find something out about a person. All you need to do is enter their name into a site like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, and you will be able to find all the information on them that is publicly available from social media. This can be an ideal tool to use if you are not sure whether somebody is hiding the fact that they are in a relationship with somebody else, or if you think that somebody is lying about their job – they might not be banking on you using social media to check.

Hire a Private Investigator

If you really want to find out information about somebody that might not be available to the public online, the best step to take is to hire a private investigator. These professionals are often ex-police officers or have worked in security and investigation for many years, and may be able to find out things that somebody really doesn’t want anybody to know. While it’s a bit of a drastic measure to take, it is often essential if you feel that you are getting nowhere with other measures, and you really need to get the information on somebody.

Google Search

Sometimes, a quick Google search of somebody’s full name is all that it will take to find the information that you need on them. If they have been involved in a crime in the past or have anything bad in their history that made the news, and they still have the same name, there might be news articles about them that come up that you can check out. If the person you are searching for has quite a common name, this might make it harder for you to find information on them – so try using Google’s search tools to narrow down your search using any other information you might have on them like their date of birth or their location.

Check Other Search Engines

Bear in mind that while Google is definitely the biggest and most widely-used search engine, it’s certainly not the only one out there – so you might find that you have some more luck finding what you are looking for using another search engine like Yahoo or Bing. Each search engine has different search algorithms, meaning that it might be easier to find what you’re searching for using one rather than another, so it’s worth checking them all out to see what comes up.

Speak to Mutual Friends

If you have any mutual friends with this person, it might be worth speaking to them to find out if there is anything that they know and can share with you. However, bear in mind that it’s important to be careful if you decide to go down this route as there’s nothing stopping a mutual friend from letting the person in question know that you are trying to find out information about them. If there is somebody else who also knows them and is also trying to find out the same information as yourself, working together could help you get better results.

Know When to Give Up

While it’s easier than ever to find information on somebody online these days, bear in mind that it’s not always possible to find out everything that you want to know. For example, criminal records might be sealed, making it impossible for you to find out what is in them, and the only way you’re going to be able to find out is if the person volunteers this information to you. It’s important to know when to give up and decide whether or not it’s worth continuing.

Finding information online is better than ever – but it’s not always easy to find exactly what you’re looking for, so keep these tips in mind.
