William ran a gas station, In And Out BP Travel Plaza. It\u2019s one of the few gas stations that would allow you to fill your tank without pre-paying. Unfortunately, this led to many people driving off, leaving William without the money and the gasoline.

William was resourceful. He would use his security camera footage to get the business names on trucks and vans to track down the business owners. In one instance, a woman from an Antique shop filled her truck\u2019s fuel tank up and promptly drove away. He found the owner\u2019s name on another website and then used Spokeo to search her name and call her. William said, \u201cIt was $180 worth of fuel and once I called her up she said she was so embarrassed. Not only did I get the $180 back, she sent an extra $20 for my \u2018troubles\u2019. You have saved my company thousands of dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your business plan includes membership or subscription forms, there may be times when a handwritten application isn\u2019t legible.

Angela is a Spokeo customer and says, \u201cI work for a large veteran\u2019s organization and our success depends on memberships, fund raising, and volunteers. When we receive correspondence or membership applications that we can\u2019t decipher because of handwriting or missing information, we use Spokeo to verify the street name or the individual\u2019s name to fill in the blanks. We also use it if we need to contact a member when there\u2019s no phone or email reflected on their membership record. It\u2019s a huge help to us\u2026I\u2019m on Spokeo all the time!\u201d

Karen works for Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue, an organization dedicated to saving horses from abuse, neglect and slaughter. People move and may update their contact information with the post office, but not with the organizations they are tied to. When a phone number for a donor is disconnected or their mail is returned, Karen says \u201cI use Spokeo for address verification for our donors.\u201d Specifically, she uses Spokeo to search the donor\u2019s name and find their new address or phone number to re-establish the relationship and funding.

There are multiple organizations that use Spokeo to find new donors, as well. By searching in a desired area, you can get specific addresses and resident information to send personalized flyers to their doorstep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
