Do these cell phone tracker sites really work?

Or are they all scams? I checked this one out but the reviews are mixed

Don't worry I'm just asking for a friend who's trying to track down her ex-husband for child support. Nothing nefarious.

But now I'm also kinda worried that one of my exes might've used one on me lol.

It says it anonymously downloads to the users phone and tracks everything in the background. Is this legal?

It works but you need to install it onto the phone you wish to track.

You can't randomly install it on any phone you don't have access to.

AVG has their own version with the internet security App incase you lose your phone or it gets stolen

But your friend can't use it to track down her ex husband if she doesn't have access to his phone which I doubt she does if she's trying to track him

And probably illegal as well.


However if she knows his email address.

She could setup a fake website offering.... something of interest to him.... and collect his information for free access to the site if he enters his name, phone and address.

just saying.

Oh I see. Do you know of any such way that would be possible?

Thanks for clearing that up.

There's a thought. Would that be costly?

a reply to: rockintitz

No legal way, no
