Another method that you can use to find information about people is by using people search engines and
people search engines are websites that will help you to find information on individuals.
These search engines collect personal information from public records, marketing companies and social
media profiles and other data brokers.
And in this lecture, I would like to focus on two resources or two people search engines that will
help you find information about individuals that are not from the United States.
Because most of people's search engines are for US citizens only, and there are not many people search
engines for the people who are not living in the United States.
The first website that I would like to show you is called Social Searcher, and you will find its link
in the resources of this lecture.
Now, in my opinion, this website is not very reliable because it doesn't show you many information
about the person that you are looking for.
So if I go and click on users here, I'm going to search for Rishi Kabra for example, and hit enter.
All right.
So here is the search result.
You can see that this website has looked in Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo and Dailymotion.
And you can see that most of the search results are from Dailymotion.
But we can see that Rishi Kabra has a Vimeo account, which is something that we didn't gather before.
So let me open it and go to his profile.
And here we can see that he uploaded a video of contact out or the company where he's working at, and
you can see that he was a member since August 2023.
So I'm going to copy the URL and put it in my notes right here because we didn't find this website before.
And then I'm going to come back to the search results.
And we have many search results from Dailymotion, but we don't have any search results from Facebook,
LinkedIn or Instagram, although we know that he has an Instagram, LinkedIn and a Facebook account.
But this website is sometimes useful because as you can see, we were able to find another account that
we didn't find before because if we looked at the URL of his Vimeo account, we can see that he doesn't
use his username or Rishi Kabra 132 Vimeo generates unique usernames for its users.
The second website that I would like to show you is called ID crawl, which is a website that we have
already covered before in the previous section.
So we can see that you can add the first and the last name of the person, and then you can select the
state.
But if the person that you're looking for is not from the United States, then you don't need to specify
any state, you just need to enter the first and the last name.
So I'm going to say Rishi Kabra like this and click on search.
And as you can see we have got many search results.
And we have also got some profile pictures.
So let me click on the profile pictures.
You can see that this is his profile picture from GitHub.
This one is from Twitter.
This one is from his SoundCloud account and this one is from his LinkedIn.
And we can go through all of these pictures.
The coolest thing about this website is that it's going to search for this name in multiple social media
platforms.
For example, here it shows us some accounts with the name Rishi Kabra in Instagram.
And if we scroll down a little bit, we can see some other accounts in Twitter with the name Rishi Kabra.
And this is the person that you are looking for.
We already have his information.
We can scroll down more and see some information that are sponsored.
And if you want to find this information or reveal this information, then you need to pay money and
we are not going to pay anything.
I'm going to show you in the next lecture how can you find these information for free?
And most of these public records that are sponsored are for people who are living in the United States.
We can also scroll down and see that there is an email that starts with Rishi and then k at gmail.com.
We already have his email address, and then I can scroll down and see some search results on Facebook.
And we can see that this is his profile.
We can scroll down and see some search results on TikTok with the name Rishi Kabra and scroll down more.
We can see his YouTube channel on YouTube and scroll down more and find any usernames.
In our case, we already have this username in our notes.
We can scroll down and see some other information, for example, his LinkedIn account.
And if we scroll down more, we can see his Flickr account.
And he also has a Pinterest account.
As you can see here, this is his profile picture with a username that he used across multiple social
media platforms.
And if we scroll down more, we can see his Quora account and some other profiles like his GitHub account.
We can also see some web search results in here that are related to the name Rishi Kabra.
We can check every single link to find if there are any additional information that we did not gather
before.
So as you can see, this website will search within multiple social media platforms for a given name
and it's completely free.
The only thing that is not free is the sponsored link like this one.
And you don't have to pay anything.
As I said before, I'm going to show you in the next lecture how you can find all of these information
for free.
