Sneaky Cell Phone Search

My DH recently showed me this site that he uses for work as part of his research on claimants. It is scary. http://www.spydialer.com/

The good news is that you can opt out!

Thanks! Just opted-out

Go to the FAQ and there is a link there to click, to enter your mobile (and anyone else you want to enter) to no longer be scene using that site/app

I would not enter my cell number here, but that is me. Get spam calls is what i would think you get rather than opted out of anything.

The site seems kind of stupid. It doesn't do anything other than call the number (anonymously) and you get to hear their voice mail. Why wouldn't you just use *67 (caller ID block) and call the number yourself to see if you reach the voicemail (or better yet maybe they answer and you can see if you recognize their voice)?

Why would you opt out? It is not a database of cell phone numbers, they are just calling your cell voice mail. Unless you are calling people, they would have no reason to put your number in this system and call you. If you really don't want people to be able to identify you by your voice mail, then just set your voice mail up to use one of the automated responses that does not give your name.

Am I missing something?

@ azh,

It's entirely possible you're never been stalked by an ex over several cell phone number changes, LOL!

Insted of opting out use youmail or google voice to set a custom greeting for spydialer number in order to mislead the caller.
