Another one of those sites that share your personal information

Spokeo

This is another of those sites that pull information from various sources. Much of the information on there is inaccurate but it does sometimes show your telephone number and names of others in your household. They have linked it with Google Maps to show your house too. You can be removed fairly quickly by scrolling to the bottom and clicking on the "Privacy" link. You will need to provide a valid e-mail address to click a confirmation link that will almost immediately remove your listing on the site.

You might just want to be removed.

Scary stuff. They had a picture of my house with my E53 in the driveway and me walking to it.

Persona...,

Thanks! That site had way TOO much info on my wife and I. I've unsubscribed.

I looked up a couple friends to see their home values and they were all saying +$1M so I think that Spokeo may have a little problem there.

Google hasn't had their car drive down my street yet so there was no picture of my house, cars, or people...

Typical of the people search sites, imo...
some info ok, some way off base.

I tried to knock my name/"info" off, but the
code letters are so funky to read, it wouldn't
take, even after a few tries.

It has me still married to my first wife, no kids
and what looks like "interests" from someone else, lol!

Sometime in the future, soon, everyone's hard info will be
floating around like billboards...the net is good and, not so good.

Getting rid of your mailbox and using a PO Box instead, combined with using a cell phone only has knocked me out of almost all those lists.

If privacy is very important to you, that's the best way to go.

thanks for the heads up. I tried to remove myself but it won't send the email with further instructions.

Really not much different than PeopleSearch, ZabaSearch, et al, imo.
And, the "details" are so off/made up, it's sort of funny...

Hellsbells, a good GOOG of anyone turns up what used to be, surprisingly detailed info, imo.
