After paying a $29 fee for a 3 year subscription I tested the site by giving it the name of a relative of mine, his address and cell phone number. This person is a physician on staff at a major university, has a valid social security number, owns property in a midsize town in North Carolina as well as vacation type property on the NC coast, and of course owns an automobile licensed in NC. Net Detective came up with "No Information Available" for this person. The site "People Search," however came up with all of the basic information I expected with no charge and offered more information for a $ charge. "Net Detective" is clearly ineffective and not worth the money it charges to use the site. I doubt that I ever wil use it.
