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.
Hi Jack, I have read your above with interest- The difficulty I am finding is placing a “male” to the name- the person I looking for “Kerry McKenzie” -“Kerry Mackenzie” (could be either spelling) he comes from Queensland. As you can see the first name of “Kerry” is a problem as I cannot seem to distinguish the male gender- I am looking for this person as he is an old acquaintance from a holiday some 35 years ago and a group of us are trying to re-unite- Is there a way to track the “male” Kerry McKenzie down. I have tried Pipl and Yasni but cannot place a “male” gender to the request.
Can you help here- He was last known of in Queensland Australia.
Hello Marian,
Have a read of my recent article “The Ultimate Guide for Finding Someone on Facebook” http://www.jackcola.org/2013/06/the-ultimate-guide-for-finding-someone-on-facebook/
Hi Jack.
I have the same issue as a few people on here.
I have an exact address but not a name lr phone number.
I know the first name of the owner but not the spelling or the last name.
The location is NSW.
Can you help?
Cheers.
If you know their exact address, you may want to send them an old fashion letter and provide your contact info so they can contact you. Or, do some social engineering http://www.jackcola.org/2012/05/the-101-to-basic-hacking-how-to-hack-facebook-and-other-websites/
Looks like http://www.personlookup.com.au is down?
Also, no mention of http://www.matespotter.com or http://www.aussiefinder.com.au?
Personlookup is working for me. Nope, no mention of those two sites. But they are good ones.
Hi
Can the reverse phone tracker trace someone who has
Recently disconnected their mobile or can any one
Help me with this issue…
Hello Marea,
Yes they can, provided the site/service has the details previously in their database.
You need to provide more information for further assistance.
Hey
Thank you for the immediate reply, greatly appreciated, I have
my hardest but am not very computer literate. I only have a mobile that
Has been recently disconnected but I know that you must provide
Identification such as a liscence even if its prepaid. I also have a terminated
Email address, I just dnt know how to find the phone which I’m sure
Is a new number now. I am willing to pay a fee if someone can help
Me pleeeeeease
Hello Marea,
As for requesting ID for purchasing a SIM card, it all depends where you purchase it from. I’ve probably purchased 3-4 prepaid sim cards, and the majority of time I wasn’t asked for ID. You can then hypothetically activate the sim online with fake details.
The only advice I can give you is what is contained within this article.
Hi Jack
I just came back from my holidays, where I met a wonderful man. We didn’t exchange email addresses nor phone numbers. Would love to get in contact with him again, but I only know his first name, age & in which town he lives & works. That’s not a lot, I know… Do you have a tip on how to find him?
Thanks in advance
My best guess will to try and hunt him down on Facebook. If you have Facebook’s new graph search, you can do a search like “People who’s name is xxxxxx who is and lives in xxxx and works at xxxx”.
Play around with the wording, to get the results you want, and hopefully find him.
This doesn’t work. I typed in my own mobile phone number which I’ve had for 15 years and it returns zilch. Tried a few other friends numbers and exactly the same, nothing returned.
It’s not a 100% fool proof strategy. The information has to come from somewhere, and you’re lucky that you mobile number and contact information hasn’t been matched.
This article is to assist, not to guarantee a find.
Hi jack cola am a recovery agent and needing good sites to chase down debtors that are skips. Can you please help mate
Hello Sean, please see my message you left me on Facebook.
Hi JackCola I am trying to find someone I knew in 1977 but they have moved tried all the normal ways FB twitter etc no luck only have name where we met [next door neighbour] where they were born [overseas] nothing else any suggestions.
Hello,
Maybe ask your neighbour to see if they have to contact information of the house owner, or previous owner, work your way up the chain until you might get their contact information of who was living their in 1977. A realestate agent may also help with with information from RP Data.
Good luck!
For other locations, check out this post http://freepeoplesearch.org/blog/50-tools-to-safeguard-your-personal-information.html
Hi Jack Cola, I have been following your posts on locating people. As a PI managing Ozpeopletrace for 12 years, and having trained a number of the top tracers in Aust, it seems to me that you are not offering correct information to people, or least, complete information.
ie; “Hi JackCola I am trying to find someone I knew in 1977 but they have moved tried all the normal ways FB twitter etc no luck only have name where we met [next door neighbour] where they were born [overseas] nothing else any suggestions.”
This guy has sufficient information to begin a search, or preferably have a licenced PI do the search. Your suggested method is never going to produce results, even if a search of RPData might be useful, which it won’t, a real estate agent isn’t going to risk prosecution or their licence and flout the privacy legislation,
The key to locating people is to know the techniques used on the various resources, more so than knowing the resources to use.
A woman said she had met a man while on holiday, and wanted to contact him, there are ways this could be done, but you would need to know which resources could be useful, and how to obtain the relevant information from the resource. Same goes for Florenceand the machine, Marion Chester and most of the others
Maybe you will want to know more about this ‘science’ one day, contact me if you do
Hello there, thanks for your comment. My initial aim of this post, (and my website in general), is to provide knowledge and web tools available on the internet to find someone. Such as the websites, ReverseAustralia, Person Lookup, and Social Media sites.
It was never my intention to provide direct assist to people and help them find people. I am not a PI, and with the limited information those people provided ME in my post, I couldn’t help them much further than that, in a public forum.
Your right, random real estate agents probably won’t help you out, but close friends who are, might.
I also don’t have to resources to involve myself in assisting, and asking questions of someone’s every move on holidays to find which resources could be useful to help someone find someone.
By all means, feel free to communicate with these people in this public forum and assist them – that’s why comments are left open – for people to have discussions, ask questions, and help others.
Hey Jack, I know your probably sick of this because everyone is asking you the help them. But I’m gonna give it a try because Im super desperate and after 3 years of doubt, possibly 3 wasted years, and many more to come unless i find out the truth and it turns out to be a lie. SO, Im in love with a women I met online and she live In Australia and I live in Canada, Shes suppose to come here, she was suppose to be here already but something keeps stopping her. Because of the type of person she is, she uses no social media or anything online that I could use to validate the stuff she has told me. So its not strange for her to not have it. I cant question her about stuff because if im wrong, she will think I dont trust her and I will lose her. but I need to know the truth, and i need to know now, I really need piece of mind because its driving me crazy and making me second guess everything now. but she hasn’t given me any reason to not trust her, only for the fact that theres so many unanswered questions and so little validation (proof) about any of the things she has told me. Any because of the kinda person I am, I am constantly going over the “what ifs” and its bad, very bad and I cant keep going like this. but I love her more then I knew was possible and I cant risk losing her so I cant confront her about any of this. I just need to get some answers about a couple or a few of the hundreds of questions, and if i get 2 or 3 answers and they are all true, then Ill be satisfied. Its just that so many things have happened over the past 3 years that prevented us from meeting and prevented other things, that it can’t be a coincidence , it just cant! Unless she has the worst luck out of anyone in the world! None of what she says is far fetched or unbelievable, but some is serious, to serious that I cant even hint around about me thinking is could be fake. Like her health, shes very sick ATM and fighting for her life and winning but its a long fight. Ive spent 3 years of my life waiting for her, with my life on hold and id spend 10000 years if I had to, thats how much I love her. But I dont wanna spend another few years waiting for things to get better if its all a lie, because im literally ruining my life if she turns out to be fake and never shows up. but it wont be ruined if she shows up, so im willing to take the change because I love her so much. So you should see why I need to get some answers real fast. I hate that i even think like this, but i cant help it. So many things went wrong that it seems like its not possible for that much to happen in the order and at the exact times that it has. So I need to somehow verify that shes in Australia now, and what part. That her number is actually in Australia and not somehow spoofed. If I can find out if her name that would help. I talk to her on Skype and her phone. Thats it. So do u think u can do anything for me at all! even verify one of these things for me, u would probably be saving my life! and trust me I have tried searching for everything, over and over and cant find a single shred of evidence to say yes or no. shes very good with computers and she has never left any personal information out there to be found aparently. but I can get into greater detail if u can help me, I dont want to say names and specifics in the open like this becuase she could easily find it. So please, Im asking u for your help, help save my life. for reasons im not going to use my real name in this post becuase its public. Please email back
Hello,
Yes, I get a lot of personal requests for help like this, but I would have to say, yours is the longest. When I was reading this, sorry to say, but I think it’s fake. But I do have a few questions:
You said “If i can find out if her name that would help” – so you do not know of the name of this person?
Have you seen pictures and video’s of her?
Have you Skype’d her, and seen a live video broadcast of her, not just using the chat or voice feature? If you have, then I take back about her being fake.
If you don’t know much about her, and if she is sick, ask what hospital she is at, and her doctors name – then Google that information to come up with an answer
Why are you waiting for her to come to Canada, why don’t you go to her, ask for her address, maybe call her bluff if she is fake.
Why don’t you call the number you have of her in Australia, and see who picks up? Have you did a search on her number using the links in this article?
Hope this helps.
Trying to find someone, all I know is their first name and the street they live in
What can I use to find them? Live in australia
Hello Rikki, the only advise I can give is what is provided in the article. The other option is to door knock on all the houses in the street to find who you are looking for.
Hi Jack is it possible to track some one who who’s number you know but you don’t know the person, especially when you get this calls and no now answers
Did non of the tools in this article help you?
Try ringing it from a different number, or put your number on private so the recipient doesn’t know who is calling.
Ive tried that and whoever it is does not answer when phone is a private number. Sorry Im having the same issue as above and thought I would jump in.
I would suggest using a friends mobile number or purchasing another sim card to make the call.
I’m trying to find my 13 year old nephew. His mother moved with him 3 years ago and didn’t give my brother the new address or phone number and we don’t have the money to hire lawyers etc to make her tell us through the courts. Any ideas?
