If it produces an email it is pretty accurate. It checks various possibilities, and returns the valid ones. If only one is returned you can be pretty sure it is a valid email. You can use the social links to see if the email is associated to a facebook / twitter account.
It does check that the domain is not "catch-all", or that it doesn't simply ignore our queries.

#5This tool is amazing!
I think it works kind of like this: it splits firstname and lastname, tests for a response code on some random combination like "firstletterOfFirstName + last name" on a service like this http://verify-email.org/
very clever !!

Yeah, it returned exactly one email that's likely (in my opinion) to be correct. That's really cool. Thanks.

#8I would use a tool like this as our product does need hustling tools.
I used my own email id(plus a few more) and my actual email wasn't in search results. Looks like they just do standard string combinations.
Our aim is to source publicly available information and build a profile of a prospect for use by our clients. Maybe I am missing something and if I could see an explanation of their process that would engender more trust in their results.
Back to writing my own data mining tools..
