I downloaded this Net Detective software. There is no phone number associated with the site, only
a fax. Their credit card handling to take my $14.95 was impressive I have to say though. After
installing it, and taking a cursory look, it appears that it is a listing of sources that you may
use to get info on your neighbors and bosses (like the credit bureau, other investigative sources,
etc.) I get an error message every second time I bring it up.

To me, it's a waste of money. The advertising and quotes in the ad was mis-leading and sounded
fishy to start out with; but I bought it out of curiosity since it came up in this list. You
don't find anyone from using this software. It may give you some ideas of new agencies to buy
information from though. It has headings such as governtment, genealogy (Ancestry is not listed
by the way). If anyone else has other opinions on how to use this, I'm glad to hear it though.
