GEOfinder is a service that offers name lookup and OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) tools to find information like phone numbers, social media profiles, and location hints by searching publicly available data, often claiming to provide more focused, private results than standard search engines, useful for verifying identities or background checks, not hacking. When verifying a name, look for inconsistencies that suggest the identity might not be real.
