How to Stop Cell Phone Spammers Using Mobile Phone Reverse Lookup

Junk mail and spam—we all get it and it clutters our mail box—but now it is coming to our cell phones. Here’s how you can stop junk calls to your cell phone using a mobile phone reverse lookup tool.

It was just only a matter of time before spammers figured out ways to target our cell phones. You may have already started to receive calls from cell phone spammers. You know those irritating recorded calls like the one that reminds you that this is the last notice for your car warranty. Arrghhhh!

Or how about text messages from individuals claiming to represent a credit union? The text claims the victim's account has been frozen and requests banking information. Similar cases include calls informing people they won contests they never entered and asking for private data, including their social security number.

The worst part about receiving unwanted text messages is that every time yo receive one it might be costing you money. Well all that is about to stop for you.

First off, it is very important never to give out personal information when receiving unsolicited calls, text messages, or emails.

The CAN-SPAM Act (Controlling the Assault on Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) prohibits commercial e-mail and text messages to be sent to cell phones without "express prior authorization."

Unfortunately, the law leaves commercial entities lots of loopholes. For example, it doesn't prevent your carrier or its partners from sending you upgrade offers or account notices. Also, non-commercial organizations such as charities and political campaigns can shoot you all the messages they want on your dime.

What can you do? Up until recently all you could do involved defense tactics.

However, now there is a way to find out who is behind these calls. By using a mobile phone reverse lookup service you can trace who is calling and sending spam to your cell phone.

There are many different reverse phone search services on the Internet.

Here is the one that we use most that gives the most detailed information.  You can click her to test it for free.

We tried this service with spam cell numbers that showed up on our phones. In most cases we were able to get company names and information on how to contact them.

You can do the same using this reverse search phone number service. Once you have this information you can contact the violators and demand they stop sending text messages to you and calling you.

In most cases knowing that you are on to them should help get them off your back. But don't stop there; after you look up the scammers' cell phone number, be sure to report it along with other related contact information to appropriate authorities. Also report them to cell phone registries. By doing this you will help prevent many other cell phone owners from receiving those annoying calls and text messages.

Here is a shocking story that was in the news recently involving a cell phone situation and a message that was sent to a child.

The story tells about a ten-year-old who upon activating a new cell phone and was immediately greeted by x-rated images from an unknown sender. An absolutely horrible situation. The child was mortified, and told his parents who were even more mortified.

The parents called the cell phone company and learned that they are aware of this happening once in a while and are working on the problem. They were told that cell phone numbers are recycled every 30 days or so, and the text must have been meant for the previous user. They apologized for the inconvenience and said at best they hoped it won't happen again.

That’s the real problem—the phone company offers no real solution or way to resolve the problem. But there is something parents can do.

By using a mobile phone reverse lookup service they can investigate who possible earlier owners of the cell phone number might be. In fact, this is something every parent should do before giving their child a cell phone.

A quick and simple cell phone reverse lookup can reveal who the previous owner of the cell number was and allow a glimpse into the prior owner's lifestyle and habits.

If it's too late for that and your child has already been traumatized by unwelcome correspondence, don't just wait for it to go away. You can remain in control by investigating the source of this cell phone spam.

You can contact the telemarketer and stop the harassment for good. As an added benefit, you will no longer have to pay for unauthorized texts and calls. This reverse telephone search will allow you to trace the number to its origin and demand they remove your child's cell phone number from their list.
