Today just about everyone has an email address and they are just as personal as giving out one's phone number. Individuals guard their email addresses intensely despising even the thought of it falling into the hands of spammers. In fact so protective have we become of our privacy with respect to email that anti-spam laws have been passed to protect users against unscrupulous use of email addresses. But what should you do if you repeatedly receive strange messages in your inbox and you are unable to ascertain the messages point of origin? Our first instinct would be to add the email address to our junk mail list and using the filter provided by our email host hopefully weed out those emails in the future. However this does not always work.
Spammers have become very crafty in order to skirt the new anti-spam laws. It is getting harder and harder to identify the point of origin of these email blasts. Are there any solutions to end the vicious cycle of unwanted emails? Thankfully there is. There are several free reversal email lookup services that empower you to enter any email address and find out the IP address and originating email address of the sender so that you may contact this person and either report them or request to not receive any more unsolicited mail. How do they work?
Spokeo is one such search engine service that provides limited free reverse email lookup. We say limited because the search produces only the basic screen name, identification as either being male or female and the list of possible social networks that the individual is a part of. If you desire more in depth information, which you probably do, you would need to subscribe to their services. Although the service is not completely free it does offer a 7-day free trial that allows you full access to otherwise paid information to try it out. If you are not completely satisfied you may cancel any time before the expiration of your 7-day trial and not be charged anything. Alternatively if you should decide to keep the service you will be charge $54.90 for the year, equivalent to about $4.57 per month.
Spokeo claims to be a unique search engine aggregates and collates all the information located on the internet that is associated with a particular email address. It saves time and ultimately money by gathering all of the vital information into one place. It does all the foot work for you and you just point and click to extract the information that you need. Spokeo uses powerful technology that penetrates deep net content that most general search engines cannot. The results are rich content that gets right to the heart of the matter. You can then extract phone numbers, other related email addresses, identities, company name (if applicable) and IP address and use these to track the spammer down.
