Can You Track a Mobile Number & It’s Location?

Mrinmay Bhattacharjee — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:00:37 +0000

If you are thinking that you can easily get Name, Address Details, Location Details and other Private Information of any person just by entering his/her Mobile Number over various sites on the Internet, than you are absolutely WRONG!

It’s absolutely impossible for a common man to Trace/Track any Mobile Number and it’s current location.

Some months back I wrote a Post: Trace Mobile Number Location and Missed Calls by which you can get ONLY City and State Details of a particular Mobile Number. The various Web Services mentioned in this Post gives you City/State Information based on First 4/5 Digits of a Mobile Number. E.g.: +91-99815xxxxx – This series belongs to Madhya Pradesh, India

And Thanks to this post, I was getting atleast 4-5 Emails per week where the sender was asking to:

Track the Current Location of his/her Stolen/Lost Mobile Phone
Give Address Details of some other person

In each and every Email either the Mobile Number or IMEI Code was attached!

In this post I am going to clear some points Again:

For Stolen/Lost Mobile Phone

If your Mobile Phone is Lost/Stolen, than immediately Contact Customer Care Number of your Mobile Operator and ask them What to do in this case? They might ask you to lodge an FIR Complaint at the Nearest Police Station and ask for your Mobile Phone IMEI Number sooner or later. If you don’t know How to Find IMEI Number of your Mobile Number, than make use of THIS PAGE for detailed instructions.

Do follow the instructions what Customer Care representative gives you.

For getting Name, Address and other Confidential Details of some other Person

This is NOT possible under any case!

No Mobile Operator gives such details to any Internet Website/Common Man as it’s a complete breach of Privacy. Only Government Officials/Agencies can extract such information from Telecom Operators if a particular Number is being used for Illegal Activities, Threatening, SMS Scam, Special Cases etc.

So Remember, try not to disclose your/other person’s IMEI Number as well as Mobile Number over Publicly accessible Websites, Blogs, Forums, Email etc.

New Mobile SMS SCAM on Rise in India!

Mrinmay Bhattacharjee — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:01:42 +0000

Lately I am receiving Fake/SPAM Messages (SMS) on my Mobile Number almost Everyday! Following is a Screenshot of one of those SPAM Messages:

If you are also receiving such messages, than it’s recommended that you DON’T follow the instructions given in such messages and Never Ever disclose your Personal Information like Phone Number, Credit Card Number, Bank Account Details etc., to the contact information given in such SPAM Messages.

These messages are actually Fake SMS Marketing Practices and the main intention of such messages is to extract Personal/Bank Account Information from people who falls in the trap.

Also there’s NO number associated with such SPAM SMS. You can see TA-ROYAL in the Number Field in the screenshot above. Only your Mobile Operator may give you sender’s details.

Why we are receiving such SPAM/Fake Messages?

Since SMS Marketing is on rise in almost every country, following are the possibilities because of which you are receiving SPAM/Fake SMS on your Mobile Number:

Publicly Accessible Mobile Phone Numbers: As we all know, Leaving your Email Address on Public Forums, Twitter, Blogs etc. gives direct invitation to SPAM Bots. Similarly giving out your Mobile Phone Number over Job Search Sites, Web Resume/CV, Public Forums, Blog Comments etc. give direct access to Mobile Number Harvesters, just like Email Address Harvesters!
Organizations/Company selling Mobile Phone Numbers: This can be a rare case, but there is a possibility that your Private Bank, Insurance Company etc. is selling Personal Contact Information to culprits to make money.
Organizations/Company Database Hacked: This can be another possibility, where Database of a certain Organization/Company containing Contact Information of all it’s Customers is hacked!

There can be even more possibilities, where your Mobile Number is going in the hands of culprits.

Prevention:

Register your Mobile Number in National Do Not Disturb/Call Registry of India. You can find a complete list of Bank & Credit Card Companies, Mobile & Telecom Companies and Life & General Insurance Company here – Remember, as soon as you register your Number in the DND/DNC Registry of a Particular Company/Organization, this will STOP all Promotional/Advertisement/Offer Messages (SMS) and Calls to your Number within the next 45 Days.
The above step may not help in Stopping Fake/SPAM SMS completely. The best way is to completely IGNORE such messages, if you are receiving them or receive them in near future. Neither there’s a need to call the Numbers nor there’s a need to Contact in the Email Address, listed in such SPAM Messages.

Remember: No Person/Organization in this whole world is going to give thousands of Bucks to anyone for FREE! Also Feel Free to share your Views/Comments in the Comments Area below.
