1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:08,180
Another method that you can use to find information about people is by using people search engines and

2
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:14,000
people search engines are websites that will help you to find information on individuals.

3
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:20,660
These search engines collect personal information from public records, marketing companies and social

4
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:23,990
media profiles and other data brokers.

5
00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:30,650
And in this lecture, I would like to focus on two resources or two people search engines that will

6
00:00:30,650 --> 00:00:35,630
help you find information about individuals that are not from the United States.

7
00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:44,240
Because most of people's search engines are for US citizens only, and there are not many people search

8
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,320
engines for the people who are not living in the United States.

9
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,130
The first website that I would like to show you is called Social Searcher, and you will find its link

10
00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:57,110
in the resources of this lecture.

11
00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:04,360
Now, in my opinion, this website is not very reliable because it doesn't show you many information

12
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,670
about the person that you are looking for.

13
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:15,730
So if I go and click on users here, I'm going to search for Rishi Kabra for example, and hit enter.

14
00:01:16,570 --> 00:01:16,900
All right.

15
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:18,610
So here is the search result.

16
00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:25,360
You can see that this website has looked in Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo and Dailymotion.

17
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,610
And you can see that most of the search results are from Dailymotion.

18
00:01:31,390 --> 00:01:37,090
But we can see that Rishi Kabra has a Vimeo account, which is something that we didn't gather before.

19
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:40,360
So let me open it and go to his profile.

20
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:47,980
And here we can see that he uploaded a video of contact out or the company where he's working at, and

21
00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:52,030
you can see that he was a member since August 2023.

22
00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:01,320
So I'm going to copy the URL and put it in my notes right here because we didn't find this website before.

23
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,410
And then I'm going to come back to the search results.

24
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,660
And we have many search results from Dailymotion, but we don't have any search results from Facebook,

25
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:16,050
LinkedIn or Instagram, although we know that he has an Instagram, LinkedIn and a Facebook account.

26
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,440
But this website is sometimes useful because as you can see, we were able to find another account that

27
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,100
we didn't find before because if we looked at the URL of his Vimeo account, we can see that he doesn't

28
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:36,360
use his username or Rishi Kabra 132 Vimeo generates unique usernames for its users.

29
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:41,910
The second website that I would like to show you is called ID crawl, which is a website that we have

30
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:44,700
already covered before in the previous section.

31
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:50,460
So we can see that you can add the first and the last name of the person, and then you can select the

32
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:51,060
state.

33
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:56,130
But if the person that you're looking for is not from the United States, then you don't need to specify

34
00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:59,880
any state, you just need to enter the first and the last name.

35
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:05,400
So I'm going to say Rishi Kabra like this and click on search.

36
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:09,000
And as you can see we have got many search results.

37
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,880
And we have also got some profile pictures.

38
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:14,130
So let me click on the profile pictures.

39
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:17,700
You can see that this is his profile picture from GitHub.

40
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:19,200
This one is from Twitter.

41
00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:23,070
This one is from his SoundCloud account and this one is from his LinkedIn.

42
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:25,470
And we can go through all of these pictures.

43
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:32,130
The coolest thing about this website is that it's going to search for this name in multiple social media

44
00:03:32,130 --> 00:03:33,030
platforms.

45
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:38,910
For example, here it shows us some accounts with the name Rishi Kabra in Instagram.

46
00:03:39,090 --> 00:03:44,910
And if we scroll down a little bit, we can see some other accounts in Twitter with the name Rishi Kabra.

47
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:47,100
And this is the person that you are looking for.

48
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,380
We already have his information.

49
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:54,220
We can scroll down more and see some information that are sponsored.

50
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:59,320
And if you want to find this information or reveal this information, then you need to pay money and

51
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,880
we are not going to pay anything.

52
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,950
I'm going to show you in the next lecture how can you find these information for free?

53
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:13,150
And most of these public records that are sponsored are for people who are living in the United States.

54
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:21,040
We can also scroll down and see that there is an email that starts with Rishi and then k at gmail.com.

55
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:28,900
We already have his email address, and then I can scroll down and see some search results on Facebook.

56
00:04:28,930 --> 00:04:31,180
And we can see that this is his profile.

57
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:38,500
We can scroll down and see some search results on TikTok with the name Rishi Kabra and scroll down more.

58
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:44,680
We can see his YouTube channel on YouTube and scroll down more and find any usernames.

59
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,760
In our case, we already have this username in our notes.

60
00:04:49,930 --> 00:04:54,960
We can scroll down and see some other information, for example, his LinkedIn account.

61
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:59,310
And if we scroll down more, we can see his Flickr account.

62
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:01,860
And he also has a Pinterest account.

63
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:08,670
As you can see here, this is his profile picture with a username that he used across multiple social

64
00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:09,750
media platforms.

65
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:15,870
And if we scroll down more, we can see his Quora account and some other profiles like his GitHub account.

66
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:22,440
We can also see some web search results in here that are related to the name Rishi Kabra.

67
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:27,930
We can check every single link to find if there are any additional information that we did not gather

68
00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:28,650
before.

69
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:36,690
So as you can see, this website will search within multiple social media platforms for a given name

70
00:05:36,690 --> 00:05:38,910
and it's completely free.

71
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:43,920
The only thing that is not free is the sponsored link like this one.

72
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,510
And you don't have to pay anything.

73
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:50,490
As I said before, I'm going to show you in the next lecture how you can find all of these information

74
00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:51,450
for free.
