What Is TruePeopleSearch?

TruePeopleSearch is a people search site. 

It collects data about individuals from various sources like public records and social media and collates it into comprehensive profiles, which it publishes on its site for more or less anyone to access. 

TruePeopleSearch says it has “updated records on nearly every single adult living in the US.”

Its people reports include details like:

• Full name.
• Any known aliases.
• Age.
• Date of birth.
• Current address.
• Previous addresses.
• Phone numbers.
• Email addresses.
• Property details. 
• Possible relatives.
• Possible associates. 
• And more.

You can search for people on TruePeopleSearch by name, phone number, email address, or address. 

TruePeopleSearch can be used to find lost friends and relatives or see who is behind a missed call. However, it can also be used for more nefarious purposes, like stalking, doxxing, harassing, identity theft, social engineering attacks, and more.
