After doing address searches, search for references to the person’s or company’s telephone and fax numbers.
In D&B, you may find a person used his personal telephone or fax number for a small business.
In Google, leave out parenthesis and other separators. The number should appear as 123 456 7890. Google will then return anything that appears where the space was located. If you include separators they will be ignored and anything that appears in their place will not be returned in the results. Do the search without quotation marks first, then do it as a phrase search with quotation marks.
You should search for references to fax numbers in the same manner. If you find several companies or people using the same fax number, then you have some type of relationship. In my experience, many frauds begin with a front company or phony business that uses the same fax number as several such businesses.
