Why would No-Info be available for a VIN or License Plate (TAG) search?

Posted by Christie L Pitsinger | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

Investigators utilize all legal avenues available to them to investigator Vehicles requested. There are many public and private systems that allow investigators access for specific DPPA purposes.

If you requested a Vehicle search with a valid DPPA purpose the investigators often contact the Motor Vehicle offices in that state on your behalf.

If an organization does not have the vehicle Tag or VIN on record for the state you submitted, your search results would be negative (No-Info).

The reasons the vehicle would not be found can include:

  • Vehicle is not currently registered or has not been registered for at least the last 2 years in the state you specified in your search.
  • The most common reason for No-Info available is an error by the customer when entering the information.
  • Tag's & VIN's are typically numbers and letters, don't mix up the number "1" for the letter "I", or the letter "g" for the number "9".
  • Numbers often are entered as letters or visa versa, be very careful.
Once your data is entered and the investigator submits it to the agencies (which is immediate), we can not recheck your search without incurring an additional fee. Late Model VINs are typically 17 characters. If your search results are negative, (No-Info) your fee is still non-refundable since the agencies, which provide this information, require prepayment of fees no matter what the results are.

Can I dispute the results provided to me?

Posted by Christie L Pitsinger | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

If you placed an order for a private investigator search and think something is amiss, or incorrect, you may request the investigator recheck your results.

We ask that you use the built in online system to respond to your report. Simply login to your account click on your order number and in the Order Details use the “Ask a Question” feature.

Please state the issue with the results and what you think the problem is. Be sure to list all the reasons for your recheck request (include facts of matter, not assumptions).

Please keep in mind that results are time sensitive. If you received the cell phone number for someone as a result but waited a week to see if it was valid only to find out it was disconnected, that is not the fault of the investigator. The number was active on the day it was obtained.

Keep in mind that people move, changes phone numbers, change addresses all the time. The investigators cannot guarantee time sensitive information. If you have a legitimate reason, (you sent a letter to the address provided and it came back undeliverable, you sent a writ to a bank and the account was invalid), we will send your comments to the investigator that processed your search and ask that he recheck your results.

We want our customers to be satisfied that the investigators did their job. If the results from the recheck come back the same, then the investigator would require proof that the results they provided were incorrect (ie. written attempts to use information provided via a professional, court, process server, attorney, or you hired another investigator and they found different results). If you hired someone else that obtained different results, you must provide the name and/or company name of the other firm and send us the results they obtained.

Please note that all information is derived from third parties. The investigators obtain the information provided based on it being the most current and accurate information on file at the time it is obtained. If you find this to be incorrect, we need to show them proof.

If you are unhappy with another aspect of the service you ordered, please contact us and review the terms and conditions of the service. Please notify our office asap if you think there is a problem with your order and we will do everything in our power.

What happens if a positive result to my Best People Search does not exist?

Posted by Christie L Pitsinger | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

If, for example, you order a search for a phone number at a particular address, and the investigator finds out that no phone line is connected to that address your report would show “No Active Service”. Such a finding is the result of your search.

If you order a Criminal Report and the subject of the search has “No Criminal Records”, such a finding is the result.

If you order a VIN search or TAG search for a vehicle in a specific state and the report comes back “No Vehicle Found”, such a finding is the result.

You will be charged the posted fees for these types of searches. Please refer to the posted Guarantee Policy for specific refunds for each search type you are considering. Many searches have no fee if no information exists, other searches you are charged due to the nature of what you are searching. If you are trying to find out if someone has a criminal record, the fee is charged to find out if they do or do not. If they do, you also get the information about the record, if they don't you get the satisfaction to know they are not criminals.

Are the Results of my search on Best People Search guaranteed?

Posted by Christie L Pitsinger | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

It is the hope of Best People Search that most searches are completed to customers' satisfaction.

In the unlikely event that the Best People Search system or their investigators cannot provide the information requested we will often request the investigators "recheck" the results to ensure there were no errors during the investigation. If upon subsequent requests, and, if or when necessary refunds are processed in accordance with our guarantee policy for each individual search.

The results of all searches are guaranteed to be correct at the time the investigator completes and posts reports in the system. Since information is often time sensitive the investigator can only guarantee the results on the day they were obtained. We suggest you check your account often and the same day your receive an email regarding updates to your request.

If no results are found, you are provided with several options (in your online account) on how to continue and/or what the best next steps are.

If the information you provided for a search is incorrect (ie. misspelled, non-existent name, address, phone number, or incorrect VIN format for example), or some of the required information is not provided (ie. street type, such as "Blvd.", or applicable Apartment/Suite/Unit number), or any of the information provided is not spelled out fully (ie. "Arlington", rather than "Arl."), or there is a mismatch between the type of information required and that provided by the client (ie. a pager or cellular phone number is supplied where an unlisted phone number is required) and the search therefore cannot be completed, you will be charged the posted "no-hit" fee. Please refer to each search for specific "no-hit' fee details.

Due to the nature of Criminal, Marriage, VIN number, and various other searches are nonrefundable. Please check the guarantee section on each search which clearly spells out the available guarantee. If unsure, simply contact us online or by phone.

DNA Swab without a Warrant

Posted by Noah Wieder | Thursday, August 20, 2009 | 0 comments »

On Tuesday June 23rd the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that shackling a pre-trial detainee, chaining him to a bench and forcibly opening his jaw to extract a DNA sample without a warrant was a violation of the detainee’s clearly established Fourth Amendment rights.

A divided panel revived Kenneth Friedman’s civil rights suit against the Clark County prosecutor who ordered the buccal swab and the Las Vegas police detective who obtained it, reversing a grant of summary judgment based on qualified immunity by U.S. District Court Judge James C. Mahan of the District of Nevada.

What is the Definition of Twitter Patted?

Posted by Noah Wieder | Thursday, August 20, 2009 | 0 comments »

Twitter Patted is actually a single word, as in "Twitterpated".

Twitterpated is an interesting term and one I have not heard until recently. Obviously used more these days due to Twitter, however I found references that indicate the term was first used by Thumper in the move Bambi. I'm going to dig deeper and report back here..

Would you like help finding that person that makes you feel Twitterpated - try us at best people search, you'll be glad you did?

Twitterpated -

  • To be completely enamored with someone/something.
  • The flighty exciting feeling you get when you think about/see the object of your affection.
  • Romantically excited (i.e.: aroused)
  • The ever increasing acceleration of heartbeat and body temperature as a result of being engulfed amidst the exhilaration and joy of being/having a romantic entity in someone's life.
  • An enjoyable disorder characterized by feelings of excitement, anticipation, high hopes, recent memories of interludes, giddiness, and physical overstimulation which occur simultaneously when experiencing a new love. These feelings take over without warning, usually at odd times (such as at a check-out line), with or without the partner present, and make it difficult to concentrate on anything but romance. They interfere with work and safe driving, but should be experienced at least once in every person's lifetime.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup for a Pre-paid Cell Phone

Posted by Christie L Pitsinger | Tuesday, August 04, 2009 | 0 comments »

When customers need the name and address to a cell phone that search is typically called a reverse cell phone search or reverse cell phone look up.

Question get asked about all the different free cell phone lookup searches or if there is a cell phone directory, however this article is about reverse pre-paid cell phones like Boost, Trac, Virgin, Cricket.

Q: Can you find the owner of a pre-paid cell number?

A. The quick answer is sometimes... It's good news since our investigators have a good track record and a lot of times the investigators can find information on pre-paid cell numbers.

A lot of people seem to be gettnig pre-paid services, such as Cricket, Boost Mobile, Trac, and Virgin Mobile.

These services although prepaid do request the subscribers information at the time of the purchase and many people still use these numbers as their only phone.

As soon as you list a phone number on a document (at a bank, grocery store discount card, pharmacy card, enter sweepstakes, complete an online questionaire, join an online group) that number gets into all sorts of databases that private investigators and other officials can obtain.

Because these services are all prepaid, the customers personal information (name, address, etc) at the time they sign up for the service is NOT verified for billing purposes. Customer may still receive a bill otherwise risk missing a prepaid payment and getting the phone turned off.

The main difference with a prepaid phone is that there are no agreement, no contracts so if the bill doesn't get paid (phony mailing address or something) the customer has to pay bill online, walkin, mail it in or phone it in to keep the phone on.

If you subject pays or reloads his service with his credit card the information on the account is usually kept current because the billing address on the credit card is captured. Otherwise it is up to the subject if he updates his address if a move occurs.

Most of this information is accurate unless for some reason your subject is trying to stay "off the grid". There are still some prepaid services that are virtually impossible for the investigators to obtain information on such as TRAC phone. Trac phones are basically throw away phones and are one of the only untracable phones unless its been in service for a while and the person was using the number on some of the documents mentioned above. Even then, if they toss the phone and get a new one, the number is then disgarded since it's rare that anyone would port a Trac phone number to other services.
