Tollfreenumber.ORG Offers Safety Solutions for Individuals

Irvine, Calif. – Recent news about robberies, scams and even murders connected to Craigslist dramatically illustrate the importance of considering safety when placing or answering an ad on the internet. Using toll-free phone numbers from Tollfreenumber.ORG – which are not linked to a geographical location and so do not give the caller any personal information about the number’s owner – is a key step in making transactions securely.

One problem with using a home phone number to do business on Craigslist and other internet sites is that someone often can obtain the person’s home address by entering the phone number into Google or other search engines, leaving individuals vulnerable to possible predators. People doing business on the internet can avoid much of the risk by using a toll-free phone number to keep their personal information private.

Another safety benefit of a phone number from Tollfreenumber.ORG is that a service called Automatic Number Identification (ANI) provides the owner of the number with a list of every incoming phone number, even from those who have blocked Caller ID. If someone responding to a Craigslist ad does become a problem, the number’s owner will have a resource to help identify that person.

Other safety tips for doing business on Craigslist or other advertising sites include doing transactions in a public place; arriving early so the other party will not see your vehicle; and taking time to observe the other party before identifying yourself to them.
