Do you have an email address but you don’t know who owns it? Have you been receiving several messages but don’t know who the sender is? Have you been receiving threats from an electronic mail address that you are not familiar with and you need to do something about it? If you answered yes to any of the questions, then you are advised to read this article with total concentration as I will show you a simple way to know who an email address belongs to for free.

There is a very simple fact that many people ignore; all humans are social animals! This singular fact is enough to help you find out who an email address belongs to.

There are social networks every where on the internet. A recent survey shows that at least one out of every ten internet user belongs to at least one social network. With large social networks like Facebook and MySpace that can boast of over a million users and over ten sign ups daily, there is a very high possibility of you finding the information you want on these websites.

To find out who an email belongs to with these kind of sites, you should first make a list of the sites that allow you search for friends with email (most of them do). Make a list of the sites you want to use before opening your browser. This will help you stay focused.

Open each of the sites and type in the email address carefully into the search box and you will see the person who owns the email address (if available).

The information you can get from using this method includes the name, address, age, sex, phone number, interests, occupation and other personal details. Please note that some of these websites will require you to sign up before you can see the details. This method of finding who an email address belongs to can be very effective if well carried out.

On the other hand if you are unable to find the person on any of the social networking sites,then you should proceed to using the email search directory websites that will require you to pay a token fee before they can give you access the information of the owner.

The beauty of these websites is that they wont bill you until you are able to locate who you are looking for through their regularly updated database. So you have absolutely nothing to loose by trying them out.
