First off, I am not a fugitive recovery agent in any way, nor anything related to it. Secondly, I am not used to having to pay for getting names on phone searches, such as whitepages.com
Therefor I allow myself to ask those who might use this on a regular basis. When entering a phone number on whitepages.com and press the "name available" link I am redirected to something called "people search pro" and they want money. Either $9.95 for one search or a 12 month subscription of $2.95 all billed in once, $35.40
1.Is this a scam, and is this the only way to get a name online?
2.Is there any other "open to the public, pages that is more up to date and reliable then others? If so, please recommend me where to go.
I only ask since I am from a different country where such information is free via the phone books searches, so this was new to me and I would like some owners of some phone numbers.
Thank you, and I appreciate your assistance. Have a nice weekend.

Tina, you are on the wrong website... these folks will give you no info without proper credentials... seek elsewhere. Just a little friendly advice.

speezack, thank you for a friendly advice. I see now that I should have known better.
LuVonda, to match your respond: I am sorry to bother you, your royal highness and queen, for asking for payable information.

Luvonda is a well respected moderator of this site.
You asked a question and she answered you in a direct manner. She did not disrespect you in anyway or down grade you personally.
Just because you did not like the manner in which she answered you does not give you the right to go and mouth off like that.
There are a lot of good, well respected professionals on this site, and Luvonda is one of them.

Thank you John. There seems to be a LOT of people coming here that ask questions and when answered are not happy. Instead of accepting the answers they get ~ they get obnoxious. "royal highness and queen" ~ . . . should I add it to my sig line ? Just kidding . . . not a drop of "British" blood in me . . . nope. Just Irish and Native American Tina ~ all you have to do is . . . read the "fine print" at the bottom of those pages, would have saved all that time, and . . . shouldn't r.h. and q have been capped ?
