What Is a Reverse 411?
A reverse 411 is type a search that you do using the Internet to find out who it is that just called you. By typing the phone number into a specialised search engine you can gather all kinds of information about the owner, which is collected from a wide variety of public documents. As a result, you can find out things about the person's background, who they are, where they had lived, any known aliases, whether they have a criminal record and much more besides.
This is a very useful type of service particularly if you have had a threatening or hoax phone call and need to get to the bottom of it. Often you may find after doing a reverse 411 that there is nothing to are about as it's just a friend, acquaintance or neighbourhood kid who's playing a prank when you. So these type of reverse phonebook searches can really help to give you peace of mind.
Sometimes when you do a reverse 411, the results you get may show you that there is something to worry about. In this case, you should always contact the police.
