Scary website-lists people's personal info

www.spokeo.com

If you type in your name it gives your address, relationship status, your occupation, type of house etc.

Granted mine is totally wrong-  It's my maiden name and it says I'm living with my parents and sister in IL.  I'm in my early 20's, a capricorn (actually I am libra)  like to read and that I've owned a million plus home for 23 years.  Obviously I hit it big at age 3 ;)

The address, name, and reading thing are the only semi true things for me but one of my friend's had everything there and she was creeped out.  You can contact them to be removed on the privacy tab and I just did.

 

Re: Scary website-lists people's personal info

  • I just checked DH's and it lists his cell and a nice google street view picture of our place.  Lovely.
  • I just tried the link at its saying the website is being overloaded from new people. Ill try again soon.

  • Ugh!  Mine is weird and wrong but has my twitter picture on it. Me no likey.  Where is that privacy tab?  Do you have to create a login for that?
  • It has nothing for either my maiden name or married name.
  • It has some old info on DH- most of it's wrong, though.

    Yup, I don't exist :)

    DH does though.  And it has EVERYTHING on my parents.

  • Has nothing on me or DH, but it has everything on my mom... mostly correct, although it does say she has a $1M+ home in a below average neighborhood, no children, and plays football.  LOL.  who knew?
  • That is really crazy. My information isn't all correct, but it is fairly recent it shows we live at my ILs which we did when we first moved a year and a half ago. What is scary is I pulled up my dad and it gives his address, phone number and most of the "interests" that are listed are pretty accurate. SCARY!
  • Oh my goodness... wow!  Most of my info is correct  (minus that I live in a $1M+ home!).  No photos thankfully.  

    Now how do we get it all off of there?!

  • It didn't have my married name but it did have my maiden name and the info was not correct... it says I live at my mom's current address.... which I never lived there!  So asked to delete it. 

    Then it has DH living in the duplex we rented last year and I deleted that one.  And also has DH living in our current home ----  it won't let me delete it... says I need to wait!  Grrrr!

    Never thought of doing the exes... might do that! LOL!

  • LOL!  It says I have a brother -- yes, a brother -- named Sholanda.  He must be in hiding, because I've never met him.  With a girly name like that, I can't say I blame him!

  • Most of my information is wrong but it does have my address along with a picture of my house! CREEPY!!!!!
  • Ugh! It's telling me it's too busy, but now I'm dying to look up my exes Wink

  • Thank you for posting this.
  • Apparently my husband enjoys retails shopping and is a Capricorn. Both of which are false. No to metion income and credit score. The google map is a wee bit creepy though.
  • Bummer ... I couldn't find any ex boyfriends. At least not the ones whose names I remember ... Angel

    Some of the information about DH and I is creepy and correct. Some is VERY wrong. And ... there's the BACK of my house. Strange.

  • Everything's under my maiden name, but there are some interesting non-accurate facts:
    - I also live an a "$1M+ house" in a low income neighborhood (um, no, and no)
    - I am single (nope, been married a few yrs now!)
    - I am a clerical/service worker (nope, been an engineer for 8 yrs now!)
    - My house has no central heat/air (wrong!  its had central air for years!)

  • Mine still has me living at my parent's house and that is the only real information on there that is correct.  DH is not on there but his dad is and it's all right.  It's got everything on my parent's though.

  • There are websites that do give a lot of personal info, I think one of them is called Look Up Anyone, all the information comes from public records. It shows all the addresses that you had a DL from, ....
  • dh isn't on there, but i am by my maiden name.  apparently, i'm not married, i live with my dad, and i live in a "below average" neighborhood, so i don't have that $1,000,000+ house that you guys do!  

    my parents are apparently hispanic (they're not) and childless.  hmmm.
