hey everyone, just wanted to give everyone a heads up about this site that came to my attention today. i know that there are a bunch of these websites out there, but i think this particular website has way too much personal information on it.
http://www.spokeo.com/
i typed my name in the search bar and this website gave such information as, the names of my entire family that live with me, approximate income, some websites that i post on, and the most disturbing, my address and even a picture of my house. i just wanted to put this info out there, so that others can remove the listing from the site. like i said before, i know that there are other websites that do the same thing, this information is public record and i think is covered by the freedom of information act but it just made me a little uncomfortable. im the paranoid type so all kinds of alarms went off in my head when i saw this, if ur like me, then u probably want to remove these listings. if anyone knows of other websites like this feel free to post up so that if some of us want to remove our info, then we can. on spokeo, if u want to remove ur listing, search for your name, find the correct one by the city that u live in, and click the privacy link on the bottom right hand side of the page. hope this helps.
