Spam telemarketing has pretty much been made illegal barring some specific exceptions carved out by the TCPA. So, long story short, every time I manage to identify one of the spam callers calling my phone… I sue them and get paid. It’s turning out to be a pretty nice gig. =)
It’s really hard to identify some of these spam callers sometimes though. As you might imagine, they hang up when they sense any kind of danger, like asking for company names or website addresses. Right now for example, I have a call back number for this company, it works, but it has a vanilla voicemail and they are never going to call me back.
How could I get the owner of this phone number? Any advanced methods that aren’t the whois sites?
No there is no way for the average person to identify the owner of a number.
In fact unless you work for the carrier of that number there’s no real way to identify them without going to the police. And even at that it’s only if they are harassing or threatening you.
