How easy is it to find info on people?

[FFactory0x]

Lets say you want to find info on

Lets see.

Mark Gervase

Like this is my friend sitting here next to me. And we want to just see if we can pull up info on him. Were just curious how hard it is

Talk to the stupid fvcks at the CSI site.....or CIS...or whatever it was.

 

[KLin]

What'd he do to you?

 

[saltedeggman]

obviously not hard according to the folk at clubsi

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

well there's a mod that posted his email that linked him to a local high school and his IP so that simplifies things immensely. I'd imagine it would have been harder with a hotmail address.

 

[saltedeggman]

but school shouldn't disclose any personal info

It the way they structure the email address that gives up a lot of info.

 

[FFactory0x]

Yea thats what im wondering. What sort of base info do you need to really pull up a lot of infomation. I mean IP, Email, Name etc.

lexisnexis.com is a good site to find public information. I think you have to pay for it though.

 

[Anonemous]

but how'd they get access to the SSNs that's my concern? you can grab a person's ssn with name/ip/address?

His father's name is Joseph

now how sure are you about that. I mean there could be twenty million people with the last named Gervase.

Like I know i would be easy to find out or my dad would cause a quick google pops up 1000's of sites with his name on it but im talking about people who are no body's

Last year my in-laws were ripped off for $25,000 by a bad contractor. They found him and he gave them a business card with a license number and an official looking estimate. They hired him for some work on their house. When it rained heavily in NYC last year the house flooded because he didn't do it right. When it was time to find him it turned out the license # and the address were fake. It took my wife and I 3 hours of googling and a paid US Search queuery to find his exact address, phone and the fact that all assets are in his wife's name. My wife then called him to make sure it was him.

well I'm not sure about your friend, but I just did a quick 5 min search and I know that you are/used to be in Sigma Phi Epsilon and lived at 200 34th St. Philadelphia, and phone number (215) 387-xxxx. I'm sure theres more

edit: (Borden i'm talking to you)

it's much easier with an email address. Especially a .edu email addy, because then all you have to do is check out the student directory. For example I thought maybe he's also a drexel student, so I checked out drexel's website and did a quick search for him, but it was to no avail.

 

[KarenMarie]

there are ppl in the world who dedicate a lot of time and effort being able to do all sorts of things... i am sure that there is someone out there who could easily find out EVERYthing about ANYone.

Ask him how the bocce games are over at Marconi. He probably misses the helicopter pad there, too. I bet he watched them as a kid.

If the person uses a school e-mail address, it is really simple. Use common sense.
