I see a lot of people requesting a free people search, unfortunately, there is really no such thing as a free people search with social security number.

But don't despair; I will reveal the truth about free people searches here. No tricks, no schemes, no sales pitch - only information and explanations.

First let me explain. There really is no way that someone can enter a social security number into a web site and get the name or address of a person for free. Social Security Numbers are used as a National ID number and there are security issues surrounding the data.

• Almost everyone you do business with (Companies, medical, dental, credit, financial, businesses, and even private firms) request your Social Security Number (Tax Identification) when you do business with them. Even your employer needs your SSN for their records.
  
  
• You are constantly giving out your SSN on all sorts of forms, employment applications and much more. In some states your SSN is or was used as a Drivers License number or on a health insurance card as an identification number.
  
  
• There are also many companies that collect, store and warehouse all types of data so there is a cost associated with data entry, security, data storage, encryption, administration, overhead, insurance, and so many other business expenses. That's a main reason you really can't get an effective free people search.

There is also a lot of concern about identity theft so many states and businesses are changing the way they use and share SSN information.

If you could visit a web site and enter in a SSN and get back personal information about the social security number without any form of payment, then that web site really has no idea who requested or obtains information. That would not be good.

Bestpeoplesearch.com has a "know your customer" policy and we verbally verify every new customer registration for purchases. This ensures someone from our customer service team personally speaks to every new customer that registers an account with us. This is a time consuming and expensive process but it assures information and search requests are held to the strictest of confidentiality and privacy.

Ok, back to free people search with social security number information. The only thing you can really do with a social security number that does not cost anything is a free social security verification.

That is where you enter the SSN into our special free SSN verification tool and we will tell you if the SSN is valid (meaning if the number has been issued according to the SSN high group chart from SSA.GOV) or if it's even active (via a check using SSN death records - SSDI) and also tell you what state issued the SSN (if valid).

We are proud to say that we verified over 1,000,000 social security numbers for free helping employers know if an SSN has really been issued - No charge SSN verifications.

If you have license plate numbers and need owners name to that license plate you can review the available searches however, you must have a legitimate DPPA purpose for your search.

Well, this is a bit off topic but I think enough of my readers have a dog as do I. He's with me at work often and he is a great companion. Loyal to the bone, always by my side, ah... I digress.. if people were as loyal and trusting to each other as our pets are, the world would be a better place.

I take Romeo (an Italian Greyhound) to the dog park 3 - 5 days a week. He has a blast running and playing while I talk with other dog owners. People and their pets are very fascinating.

Everyone talks about their pets or their job and it's just a great way to network with new people and get some friends for your pet. It's always interesting when I meet someone new and they ask what I do. I always get questions about how to find an ex-girlfriend from college or former roommates or track down dead beat debtors.

Just goes to show you that people search is for anyone (even pet owners) trying to find someone, even a former veterinarian for your best friend :)

While at the Dog Park I met a woman who owns a terrier (Lucy, formerly "Bo", but she had to change the name as it sounded like "No") and a pug (Spike). A few months ago part of the conversations were about how overweight some of the dogs were. Spike needed to lose about 10 lbs (he was a very heavy pug).

The topic turned to what kind of food the owners feed their dogs and what kind of natural supplements they use if any. Natural supplements for a dog are essential, especially if you have an active dog or a dog that is a little older.

I would recommend natural supplements for a dog especially if you want to keep your dog healthy and avoid vet bills in the future. Anyway, Spike lost 10 lbs in the last 60 days using a diet of homemade dog food (ground turkey, broccoli, carrots and natural vitamins and minerals mixed in) with natural supplements for a dog mixed in.

Their is so much information about dogs and pets and it is a big business. I found a wonderful new online store called muttropolis. If you need some unique items or want to check out their natural supplements for a dog I would suggest you visit their site.

Enjoy your pets and share the love for animals by giving to your local humane society, animal rescue or shelter. If you want to adopt or help rescue an Italian Greyhound please visit the IGCA Rescue.
