Why you need this course
In some parts of the world, there are companies that aggregate data on people. They collect people's names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses in databases and, when you query them, provide you related data. While these "people search engines" mainly contain data about people in the United States, there are people search websites that focus on people in the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, and even the European Union (EU).
These people search engines can quickly reveal data connected to your target's personal information, giving you the pivot points and leads you need to solve your investigation.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand what people search engines do and how.
- Understand how using people search engines will impact your work.
At the end of the course, you will:
- Understand the value of using people search data.
- Be able to use people search sites.
- Learn techniques to validate people search data.
- Discover free websites that share people data on your targets.
