info on it like your phone #,address,& other stuff that isn't peoples biz. I found myself & my dad on it & removed both our listings by hitting the privacy link at the bottom of the page. removal was quick & easy via an email confirmation.I never gave the site permission to have my info on there. http://www.spokeo.com

I am always hesitant to do these sorts of things, because I am always worried they are pfishing for more information. However, when I checked it out with Snopes, it should it really was true. How sad! Thanks for sharing! hugs Jessie

When I do this, it says to check my email for further instructions. Which I do, but there is nothing. This is sad. Thanks for letting us know this. Marly

I tried deleting it and it didn't work so I sent them a message.(Though not what I really wanted to tell them, which is unprintable).

Snopes is one of the best sites available. Whenever I get email with a ridiculous or outrageous topic, I check Snopes , then return my findings to the original sender. |

Bear5,check your spam box in your email. It's probably in there. Glad you girls found it useful-I was shocked to see how much about me was on there,tho some of it was outdated-for example it claimed I was married & I've been single again for 10 yrs now. I'll check the snopes link. Tell your friends!

fortunately the info they had on me was minimal and some of it incorrect. Most of it is available through any phone book or county records. No photos so that is good.

Thanks for the info. It seems to only pertain to Americans. I searched for our names and we're not on.

Thanks for the information. I went to check it and they have both addresses for me but one claims I have children the other said I have no children. I deleted one, got the message in my E-mail followed the directions. Saw that it was removed went to delete the second one only to find the first one was back up. Again with the wrong information.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays. dianebcarterhotmailcom.blogspot.com |
