Mobile phone tracking - for free and no consent required

[JiveLad]

This is a clever site - and simple to use.

Just enter the mobile phone number and after about 30 seconds it homes in via satellite on the location where the mobile phone is....quite amazing.

Usually these services require consent from the mobile phone owner (via text message) this is different................

It's at Mobile phone tracking

Didn't we have this before, and didn't we conclude that it was a rather nasty attempt to phish phone details?

Yes.....it's an annual post........especially for newbies.

In fact the site has subtly changed.

I haven't been phished by it myself. Did you get phished or were you too scared to put in your own number?

Er...no, this is because I have no interest in the exercise. But you have been phished, surely? - there are billions of possible numbers and not all of them are real numbers; by putting in a real number, users give the site operator a real, operating, cellphone number.

I personally have no idea what they can do with that, but then I don't have a criminal turn of mind.

Looking at the code on the web site, the phone number you enter is never actually sent to them when you hit the "Start Searching" button.

It is not an attempt at phone number phishing. (There are much easier ways to gather valid phone numbers.)

Well, I'm no coder.

But surely, the phone number must be sent to someone, otherwise how can the position information be generated?

I think.... it's just possible.... that you've missed the point of the site

Good point! I reckon it just picks numbers at random, as it never seems to find me. Try it and see... You can use my number... 07734 567 890.

Just put my phone number in
And discovered I had left my phone at home

Oh Barry.............

I think you missed something here........try putting a random mobile number into the site - and you may understand it.................

Technology has improved significantly over the last few years, and phone tracking, much more of a reality than it ever was! I wonder if iPhones are easier to track than Android / Samsung phones?
