The following are the various methods of finding out who an email address belongs to: 1.
Through the use of Google, Yahoo, Facebook, forums etc.
2.
Through the sending of a personal message to the email address to ask for the person's identity.
3.
Through the use of the email look up finder.
4.
Asking about the email's identity from relatives, friends, colleagues.
The search engines is one way of tracking who an email address belongs to as it is simple and easy to use by typing the email address into the search space bar provided in the page.
As easy as it is it is difficult to search through the huge number of details provided to actually bring out the real data needed out of the whole lot presented.
The use of social sites like Facebook and other social sites too is helpful as they increase the hope of finding the person only if the person has registered the email on their site.
This is also applicable to forums where issues are discussed.
Another way of trying to determine who an email address belongs to is by sending a message to the owner of the electronic mail address and asking politely if the person can probably describe where u know them from and where you have met.
The only shortcoming of this is if the person is a scam or someone with a bad motive it will not make sense as it will be as if one is adding more damage to what is already on ground, but it's advantage lies in the fact that if the person is someone that we might have lost their contact a long time ago, it will reunite them together.
The email address can also be sent to friends or relatives for verification or seeking of answers about their knowledge about such emails since they can also ask other people close to them who might also know something about it.
This kind of search can be referred to as networking search which most times are good but in some instances everyone might not know anything about the email address.
The last but not the least as well as the best of them all is the email look up finder whose main work is to discover the details of email addresses and give them out to users who need them.
Some of them are free while others are paid, the series of information dispatched by this service are; name of the email address owner, Age, Sex, Marital Status, Home address etc.
