Licensed investigator service: Account discovery across hundreds of sitesNeeds a licensed PI

What to expect

What you can find for free

Data breaches the address appears in. Breach dates show roughly how old the account is
A linked Google account, sometimes with a name, photo and public Maps reviews
Sites where the address is registered, using open-source tools like Holehe
Who registered the domain, for addresses on a company or custom domain
The real sending server, from a message's full headers

Where free tools stop

Email providers don't reveal who opened an account or where it's used from. That takes a subpoena or court order. Account discovery across hundreds of sites, documented for court, is work for a licensed investigator.

Tips

Paste the full headers of a suspicious email into MXToolbox to see the real sending server and spot spoofing.
An address with no breaches at all is often brand new, which is common for scam accounts.
