I've used searchbug quite a bit for my work - I often have to look up a client's new information and they almost always help me find what I'm looking for - it's such a great tool to have at my fingertips, it really makes locating needed info fast a breeze. Much better than checking several different sites and still not finding what I'm looking for.

Answer: Hello Dee, Thank you for your inquiry with Searchbug.com. We do have a search to verify a Current Place of Employment for a subject. With this information you would be able to garnish wages from your subject. This search does not look for the start date of a subject, but can still verify if they are currently employed and turn the employer information to you so that you can garnish wages.

Answer: Hello Melanie, Thank you for your inquiry with Searchbug. There are many options we have to offer when trying to find information on individuals. Let's stick with the assisted searches that allow you to provide a SSN as you have stated this is a piece of information you have to use. If you only have a social security number and a last name to provide for a search, take a look at our Reverse Social Security Number Search. This is an assisted search where an investigator will conduct the search for you to provide last reported and previous address history, phone numbers if available, possible aliases, and death records if applicable. If you have the full name and social security number and are looking for current information, we suggest looking into our Verified Current Address and Phone Number Search. With this assisted search an investigator will search for a current address and landline phone number if it exists. The information found is followed up by a verbal verification by the investigator. If you are looking for a phone number specifically, we suggest the assisted Locate US Cell Phone Number search. You will be required to provide a full name with city and state. Additionally, if you provide a social security number it will help out the success rate of the search as well as lower the cost of the search itself. You can find these search tools by going to our website, Searchbug.com and clicking on the Hire Investigator tab. You can browse each search tool and their details including; how to order, typical results, cost, and average turnaround time. We hope this helps with providing you options on the assisted searches we have available and if you have any further questions or are looking for something more specific please let us know. You can contact us through our Email [email protected] or give us a call at 760-454-7301 M-F 7am-430pm PST. Thank You

If you are unsure of which type of number it is, we also offer an identify phone number tool found by following the link: https://www.searchbug.com/tools/landline-or-cellphone.aspx. Once you know for sure the number is a valid U.S. number and what type of phone number it is, the next step would reviewing our Assisted Reverse Phone Search tool which can be found by following the link: https://www.searchbug.com/investigator-services/reverse-phone-search.aspx. This page will list the details involved with the assisted search including; how to order, typical results, cost, and average turnaround time.
