At some point in our lives, we find ourselves looking for info on a person. Whether it's an old friend or someone you are not so happy about being in your life, background research on who and where they are can be very useful.

PI obviously earn a very good living helping you in this situation. But instead of paying hundreds of dollars for their time and expertise, there may be a better option.

You see, PI used to be the original go to people when info was hard to find on people. With the advent of the internet and certain services, information is much easier (and cheaper) to obtain, if you know where to look.

Further more, with PI you are paying more than you need to because it's not only their knowledge you are paying for, but also their time.

But the truth is, other options now exist publicly where you can do the investigating yourself and trace people accurately without paying the expensive costs.

The same databases private investigators use to get information are actually available for you to use on the web.

This means you can find anybody through a phone number, and get a full set of details on them within seconds. Legally, cheaply and quickly.

The one thing you will still need to do is pay the fee required for accessing such a database of information. But look at it this way - it won't be half as much as a PI would cost.

By cutting out the middleman, you'll get your results faster and cheaper. And when it comes to needing information badly enough, isn't faster and cheaper a tempting option?
