Spokeo

From Susan Isaacs Blog.

.... my cousin sent me this info about this creepy site. spokeo.com collects info about people from all sorts of sources, and then publishes it online. I went there and looked up my profile and YIKES, people. I saw all sorts of personal data about myself: financial, personal, hobbies, activities. It was creepy. In an age of identity theft, credit theft, and fomenting social unrest, this is not what you want hanging out for anyone to see.

Go please go and search this site to see if your information is out there. If so, here's how you can remove it.

1. Go to spokeo.com: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
2. Type your first and last name in the search bar at the top of the page
3. Locate your profile and click on it (the names are separated by state)
4. When your profile appears, copy the URL from your browser address bar
5. Scroll down to the very bottom of the screen and locate “PRIVACY” in the bottom right corner
6. Click on the “PRIVACY” link
7. Paste the copied URL in the text box
8. Enter your email (you’ll receive a notification email with further instructions)
9. Enter the captcha code displayed to the right of the text box
10. Click the “REMOVE LISTING” command button
11. Go to your email and follow the instructions to confirm deletion

Please pass this info along!

It won't let me search from my phone. Weird. Will have to do @ home.

I went there and only found my name and address. I removed them anyway.

mine had my name, my address (although it said i lived in damascus and I live in boring) who lived in my house, what kind of house it was, my income.. etc. stuff i didn't even know! although, the pictures were wrong

mine has a lot....and it says I live in a "lower class" neighborhood....not nice! But it says my house is worth $1M. WTF?

There isn't enough on there to make me concerned. Everything on there has been posted to a website or answered in a survey or something. They have two of me anyway lol.

Not too concerned. But thanks!
