I think this was posted a long time ago, but....

If you haven't gone to spokeo.com and searched for yourself and removed all of your listings, you should do it.  They pull all kinds of random information from different sites... your address, phone number, income, your interests, relationship status, etc.

To remove the listings for yourself, you have to copy the URL and then click on "privacy" in the bottom right corner of the screen and paste the URL in.

  • Also change your privacy settings for Facebook, Myspace, etc if you don't want anyone being able to find them. Security is so tight on my FB those sites can't even find it :)

  • Yep, I've done that on mine too.

  • I just looked there and none of my important info is listed, and it's the address of the last apt we lived in.  But it has a google map picture of my complex!  That creeps me out!!  Why would they post that??

  • They had a listing for me at my parents' house... the house I've never lived in.  My brother was also listed there... he's three years older than I am and hasn't lived in Alabama since one of the first times my dad was stationed here... in 1983!!!

  • I looked up Adam too and removed his.  Under his "interests" it was so funny because it's all information that you can get from his debit card transactions - likes magazines (he subscribes to espn magazine), likes to read (he buys the occasional magazine/book at B&N), loves food and wine (we went out to eat like crazy when we frist started dating), cares about healthy living (he has a gym membership), donates to causes (everytime we go to petsmart we donate at least a dollar with each debt transaction).

    Interesting.

    Mine just said, "enjoys retail shopping."  Ooops.

  • Haha oh dear! The one I saw just listed some old addresses and my parents and sisters names and ages.

    Spokeo.com doesn't even find me under my new or old names

  • Thanks Sara!  I am so glad I found this!  One of the listings I found showed the estimated value of my home and said I live in a "below average" neighborhood.  Whateva!  I'm super pissed these listings were out there!  I love technology, but I hate this part of it...ugh!
  • One of my listings (there were a couple from different apartments I had in college) stated that I was an African American in my 30s with kids.  It said that I make over 100K a year and that my house was worth more than 1 million dollars!!!  BAHAHAHAHA... right.

    My grandfather was saying something about this! They were off on his age by about a decade, apparently their little house is worth about 2.5 million dollars, he's Hispanic (with a first name like "Archibald"?), etc.

    There are several other Kellys with my new last name, but the only one with the same middle initial happens to live 55 minutes from me. What are the odds?

  • There are only two other Sara Ms.  I'm kinda sad because I thought I was the only one :(  Apparently, I'm not as unique as I thought I was!
