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?
What makes you think the caller ID you see on your display is owned by the person calling you? Most spam calls I get are neighborhood spoofing. I find most spam to be scam and scammers don’t use numbers belonging to them. Are you looking for the owner of the number or the person calling you as they are most likely different things. Unless you know someone work that works for the provider’s network that is willing to do illegal traps for you that you can’t use to sue someone, the only legal solution you have the info obtained by law enforcement. There is literally no real way of knowing anything about the call without the carrier providing CDR (call detail record) and SIP message traps to identify the source IP of the voip call.
