I just found this on my other forum and I thought it was a eye opening topic to discuss. Here is the link to the site so you can remove yourself since it is kinda freaky that people can pay $3.00 to get your address and do lord knows what with the info. www.spokeo.com/So check to see if you are on and if they actually have most of the info accurate. They had my address and my mom and other stuff.. Really crazy. Then I look my grandma up and they have hella info on her! So I deleted myself and will do so for my grandma. To do so click the privacy button on the bottom of the website and paste the link into the space they have.. Follow the instructions and you are gone from the site. So discuss if you want.

You always see sites like this on the movies but to actually be able to do it yourself is creepy. I'm assuming the Name search is only limited to USA (I found Vince McMahon in there) cause I didn't find myself, so I used the Email search to look myself up, sure enough I was there, found my girl's info on there too although the age is a bit inaccurate.

It said my house was worth $1 million too and that I made 41K a year. I wish I did but I am still in school getting a degree.. And it has so false pics for me.. A 50+ year old white guy and a 20 something Asian guy? No that sh*t is wrong..

Stupid site. My immediate family is not listed but I did look up my friend. It said he was in his 80's, which he is not. Said his annual income in 85K, which it is not. He lives alone and listed someone living with him.

the site takes info from your social networking sites and anywhere else you put your email and personal info in.
For example: it has info from my ipod touch (which is under my email address) as it shows what stations I listen to on Pandora radio

I don't really want anyone to find out but I wonder how accurate the info is when someone pays for it. . .

Laughable. The only part that it got right was my country, which can easily be taken from my IP. Fail.

Apparently my girlfriend is a 50+ year old woman who is married, loves gardening, and owns a $1M+ house.
