Here in the U.S., purchase a scanner and monitor public safety transmissions.... THE POLICE will provide you with victims, names, addresses, birthdates, license numbers, social security numbers, place of birth, etc., as they are harrassing folks. All you need is pretty low-tech, a scanner, pencil, and paper. This is why I laugh when I see the law enforcement posters warning against ID theft!
