Should I use a reverse phone lookup website for a prank call?
A difficult question and one that you really have to answer on your own, but how badly do you need to know who owns that number?
If you have been receiving nuisance phone calls then you can just report them to the police and they will take it from there. If you trust them to pursue it then that should be the matter finished. Of course if you really want to make sure the appropriate action is taken then you need to get in touch with the company that provides them their service. The police may not have the power to do anything, but their service provider has the power to do a lot more and it could lead to the individual making the calls being disconnected.
If you decide to go down that route and call their phone provider then you need to use a reverse cell phone service as without them then I don’t know of any other way of identifying who they are with (unless you phone their voicemail and they haven’t changed their message then sometimes you can tell from that). So the best option is really to use one of these sites and dig up the service provider and the details of their name and address.
Now you are better equipped when you want to go to the police and report them as you can give their name and address, of course you should still go to the phone company too.
Then they can’t escape getting into trouble. Of course they could carry on anyway - but if you know the name of the person you at least have the upperhand and if you confront them with the evidence and let them know you will just keep reporting them then most people should get the picture and it will not seem so ‘fun’ when you know who it is.
Stumble It!
