Reverse Telephone Directory

We all use social networking websites like twitter, myspace, orkut, facebook and many others. We make new friends online all the time. If you find someone on internet and now you know him well enough to go on a date with him, are you sure you should proceed without verifying his details?

Generally people use their pen names on internet. In most cases they don't reveal their true identities to strangers. How can you go on date with a person whose true identity is not known to you? Do you think its safe?

Have you heard of date rape? It is happening to regular people around us. We should not take our safety for granted anymore. Rape is not just a physical abuse, it has a long lasting emotionally devastating effect on the victim.

I am suggesting a method here using which you will find out the true identity of any person. Ask them their land line and cell phone numbers. Once you have it, use online reverse telephone directory. What exactly is a reverse telephone directory? Well our traditional directories gives us the phone number and address details for any person. The reverse directory does the opposite. You just feed any phone number in it and it will tell you the name, address and more background details of the person owning the number.
