How To Stalk (find) People In Australia– How To Find Someone’s Name, Address and Phone Number
Ever wished to track someone down? To find their address, phone numbers, or their name? It can be quite hard, but you’d be surprised on how easy it can be to find out where someone lives or their phone number; and we can thank the Internet for this. So here is my How To guide on tracking people down online
Before we began
Stalking can be a bit dangerous, and is a little bit illegal, so don’t go overboard with this. The point of this post is to tell you how easy it actually is to find someone. You might want to try some of these tips on yourself as well to see how easy it is for other people to track you down. If you do find too much personal information online, you may want to protect your online identity or remove information from Google.
For this tutorial to work, you do need to know something about this person already. The more you know the better. So here are a few tips to find someone.
Tools To Use
Reverse phone number lookups used to be illegal in Australia, however, there are now a few tools that you can now use where you enter in someone’s phone number, and they tell you the address of the phone number and the name of the person who owns it or lives at that address.
PayID
PayID is a tool, that allows people to pay using a mobile phone number. However, you can also use it as a lookup service to find who owns a mobile number.
Reverse Australia – Find address and name with phone number
Reverse Australia is a really good tool. Having mentioned this on my Facebook Page, people have said it even lists unlisted or silent numbers. However, to get their address, you need to login with Facebook – the site does seem trustworthy.
When entering a phone number, you get the name of the people or company, the address, what telecommunication company owns the number, and comments from other people. So if you know someone’s mobile or landline number, you can find out where they live, and their name.
Person Lookup – Search by last name or phone number to find name, address and phone number
Person Lookup is another similar tool, but as well as doing a search only by phone number, you can do a search by last name. So if you know someone’s last name, and you want to get their phone number and address, you can use Person Lookup. It may be a little hard if they have a common last name, but if you know the area they live in, you can narrow it down.
Person Lookup is also a good tool, especially when you use it with Google where you can actually find the name and telephone number of someone who lives at a particular address. So if you know where someone lives, you can just Google site:http://personlookup.com.au “33 fake st suburb” VIC 3000 and you’ll get their name and phone number. You may have to play around with the quotes and address – leaving out suburb name or postcodes for example, but you should be able to find the results you are looking for.
White Pages
The White Pages is also helpful as they are the “official” records, but you can only find someone’s phone number if you know their full name and suburb. This is why Person Lookup is very handy as you can search for people by address, phone number or name.
Facebook can also be a very helpful tool to help find information about someone. If you know their name you can find their profile information and find information like what school they went to, where they live, and all this information can be used to help with your tracking with the above links. If you don’t know their first or last names, you can use Facebook’s Find Friends feature to find people who live in certain areas, or went to a particular school. However, I wish Facebook developed a service like this, as it would be much more useful.
Pipl
If you can’t find someone on Facebook, try Pipl . Pipl allows you to search by name, location (not address), Email, Username, or Phone number. However, this site is US based, so the phone may not work. But it’s very handy to find someone’s social media accounts if you know there email address or their name.
Use These Tools To Collect Your Information
By knowing how to use these above tools correctly, you can likely track down a person who lives in Australia and get their contact information like phone numbers and address. As long as you know at least two things about them, you’ll have a very high chance on tracking someone down.
In summary:
- To find someone’s phone number if you know their address or name, use Person Lookup
- To find someone’s name or address if you know their phone number, use Reverse Australia or Person Lookup
- To find someone’s Facebook account if you know their email address, use Pipl (or Facebook)
- If you know someone’s name, and want to find their address, use Person Lookup or Reverse Australia
- Have a read of this expanded list on How to find someone online
So the question is, how easy is it to stalk you? Did you successfully find out where someone you wanted to stalk lives? Are you now worried about the information you just found? Here are some more tips on how to protect yourself online.
It worked quite well but you have to be very percific, which is pretty boring.
It’s a real art to using these methods.
Another great address search and reverse lookup site is http://www.AustraliaLookup.com
I used all of these and it DIDNT WORK >:-( i no a fare bit about the person, and all i need to no is where they live, but it is like they dont exist….:(
Hi, do take into account, it still may be not possible to find someone based on these tools. However, they are here to help. It could just be that there are two many people with the same name of this person, or the person using VOIP for their phone number, therefore not being listed in anything.
Thanks Jack! I’ve found the person I’ve been searching for:)I just can’t believe my eyes! It actually WORKED. WOW, Id recommend ur site to anyone looking for that person who they thought was impossible to find. The pipl search was good as well as White Pages. Cheering:D
You’re welcome. I just hope you were doing it for good, not bad.
I can’t find. the person i am looking for. ,
It all depends on how much information that person releases on the internet. Some people are easy to find, others can be quite difficult.
Could you find someone for me Mr Jack
Hi Em,
Unfortunately, you will be on your own.

Can you help?
My cousin is going to stay with her daughter at {address removed}
She has left a phone number for me to contact her. She dials {phonenumber removed} when calling from USA
I’ll be calling from UK.
Can you tell me what to dial from UK and can you tell me her daughter’s name? I think her first names are Betty Anne but I don’t know her married name.
Thanks, Jim
Hi Jim,
Please see my answers in the email I have sent you.

This was a fabulous site and very helpful. Every year I receive an Xmas present and card from someone unknown to me addressed to my address but a different name. The name on the present is a very common name where I live and has been impossible to find the owner. The package and card always comes from an address in Australia. This year I FINALLY found whom to return the package to in Australia because of your info site. No stalking just a helpful/thankful story. 😉
I am glad this article has helped you out.
Hi I need to find a phone number by address. I do not have a name just the address. I tried person lookup but that just required a name. Thanks
If you are not able to find out who lives at the address with the above resources, you are out of luck as you have not shared the address.
Hi there,
I know i may sound like a weirdo but I’m trying to find my sons father.
I know his address and his first name and where he works but that is all i have. Im needing to get ahold of his surname and mobile number or some way to contact him.
All i just want him to know he had a son and that my son can meet his father. If i didn’t like 3000km away id go to his front door myself.
If you could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hello Alicia,
If you know where he works, ring up the organisation, ask to speak with Ben (or whatever his name is). Hopefully the organisation may be able to get in contact with him, and if you provide them with your name, it should be easier for the company to track down the right person.
Hello,
I met someone in miami over the holidays that is from australia. I lost his information. I can only remember is first name and i know his age. Is there anyway I can re connect with this person?
Hello, chances are slim – it’s not enough information. Maybe the new Facebook Graph search could help. If you met this person in a hotel, the hotel may have there contact information they could forward on a message potentially.
None of your suggestions work, and Pipl only searches for people by the name of Cook…
Depending on the information you have, you may or may not find them. It’s not a guarantee , but it is helpful to a degree.
Some people have already found success with this article.
Hi Jack,
I have been trying to find someone and nothing seems to work. Is it possible for me to send u an email and may be u can help me.

Hello Tom,
I’m trying to find out someone’s name and all I have is their exact address. I’ve tried Person Lookup but haven’t had any success so far. Do you have any other suggestions? What about the electoral register for example – is that available to look at somewhere? Thanks, Andrew
If the address is located in Australia, send me an email and I may be able to help.
Sorry – I meant to write Jack and wrote Tom for some reason! (That was a good start wasn’t it)…
No worries Andrew.
Hello,
I’m searching the house address for famous rally co-driver Coral Taylor!
But I can’t find it, and I personally asked here but she don’t want to give it to me.
If she didn’t want to give it to you, there must be a reason. Why do you want to find their address?

Hi Laura,
Trying to find where someone lives when you have asked them personally and they don’t want to tell you, is sort of stalking.
Have you checked the resources out listed on here?
Hello,
Yes I’ve tried the resources that’s on this page. But I can’t find any info.
Thanks by the way.
Laura
Here is a link how the house looks like:http://www.facebook.com/WhereInArcadiaNswIsThisHouse.

Hi, I have tried all of those sites repeatedly and still have not found who I am looking for. I am trying to find my Uncle and all I know so far is his name is Gary Sinclair and he lives in New South Wales. Please help, he is the only family i have left.
That name sounds very common – so it may be hard to find it. I wish you all the best in your uncle. Maybe other family members may know his whereabouts.
I am trying to find a lady in the Geelong Vic area who has just recently shifted addresses. Now she has new mobile number and email address, which i am trying to find. I have a rough idea of her Married name and first name, but not her maiden name, i know her date of birth. I also have an idea of where she has moved to, and i know who her employer is. Can someone help me out please.
Try calling her employer and ask to speak with her on the phone. They may transfer you through.
If there is anyone who can help me my email is playing692@yahoo.com.au
I’ve tried both personal look up and reverse but neither work, keeps saying ‘something went wrong’
I advertised on a website called gumtree for someone to write some materials. They offered to do it for $1000 and wanted $500 up front. and so stupid me paid the $500 into their bank account, yes I have their account and mobile number and name (who knows if the name is real) and email address. I never received anything, they kept texting me back to say they were going to send the completed files, but nothing every arrived. I called Consumer affairs but to no avail. I want to take legal action with a debt collector but need their address details. I have tracked their mobile to Optus carrier but that is as far as I have gone thus far. Am I wasting my time, their mobile is active – but they never answer… They screwed a student over for $500. What are your thoughts?
You should use an escrow server, such as PayPal or similar.
Did you find their mobile number on Reverse Lookup, or do you have their address or email address?
Hi can you plz help me, all i have is an address of the person whos name i am trying to find….thanks
I am unable to assist without information, and for personal requests.
