Question

What do I do if I have the number of a person swearing at my husband?

Community Answer

Probably nothing. Swearing at someone is not a crime and most people don't make a big issue out of it. It may have been rude of them to do, but you should just move on and forget about that person.

Question

I only have a contact number of the man that stole my money. How will I get his address?

Community Answer

Well, you can do a reverse of his number or name, and then, his address may pop up. This only if it is public number. If not, you can always hire somebody to find it. You could also call the authorities.

Question

What can I do to find out what my wife talks to someone else about?

Community Answer

Ask her. Anything else and you'll be invading her privacy and showing a tremendous lack of trust. If you're having problems in your marriage and feel like the only option is to spy on your wife, seek counseling.

How do I check to see if someone installed firmware to my phone?

Community Answer

Download an app called Malwarebytes. It runs a scan of all apps and files on your phone. While it is free, they also have a real time protection service for a fee.
