PSA: Remove yourself from this list!

OK.. super creepy. If you type your name in here, you can find your name which then lists your income, address and more!

Here is the link to enter your information and you can remove yourself by clicking the privacy link at the bottom. Someone had posted it on Twitter so i thought i'd share.

 

Re: PSA: Remove yourself from this list!

  • I'm not listed!

    Well, I am under my maiden name but the info is ALL wrong. Says I'm in NY still (but at my rents address so just outdated). Says I work as a clerical worker, am a Gemini, and our house in SGF is worth $1M+ (I bet my parents wish that!) 

    But I'm searching others just to alert them if need be. 

  • I'm listed under my maiden name but there is a picture of some other woman in there (although it's my address) and it says I have children which I would know if I did and I certainly do not.  Weird.

    OH wow! Mine was almost spot on with everything!

    Really? Wow, yes, then. Totally creepy!

    I searched my grandparents and there's is wrong except for being retired. Jeff's parents is incorrect...my brother's is, too. I wonder how some can be so spot on and others so off? Really wierd.

    I don't know. Some of the girls on Twitter had spot on information too. I almost wonder if it the more you are "out there" because of business or whatever? The more social media you are involved with? Very curious indeed.

     

  • Thank you.  I am not listed, phew!
  • I had gone on here a few weeks ago. For some reason I couldn't be found, but DH was on there so I deleted him. When looking through for family members I found that they had almost all of us listed as living in million dollar homes which just made me LOL. It is creepy though at a lot of the info that is out there, and all someone has to do is pay a few dollars and what isn't already seen can then be seen.
  • For some reason, I am blind and can't find the Privacy button?

    My info is pretty accurate, but not 100%.

    All the way at the bottom M. There is a text link that says 'privacy'. Looks like it could be the website's privacy policy but that is where you would click. 

  • When you read the information that site doesn't actually obtain the information but the info is pulled from all other sites that you are listed on. If your facebook is open and not private, if you have a name on a website, and it would look like some of the businesses we all do business with are not keeping our info as private as it seems.

  • Most of the information on here seems like it comes from facebook even though my facebook information is friends only.  Kind of creepy that you could get someone's address and information on it. 
  • A lot of people don't realize that when you click on the ads on the side of facebook or any other networking site it can track it and that is how websites like this can build a profile about you. My MIL is constantly clicking ads and her page on spokeo had about 100+ things of interest for her.

    Creepy is right. I am out there with my home address, middle initial, and home phone number.

    It's got the length of time I've lived in my house, my education level, but the funny part is it says my home value is 1Million plus-  lol. Don't I wish.

  • this lists DH as having a master's degree, says that we live in Mechanicville (we don't) and says our house is worth $1M, it's not. Not very good at fact checking...
