IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Please Read

I received this in an e-mail today. I checked it out and it is true. You might want to check it for yourself and if you are listed, have your information removed.

I checked this out and it’s true…



This site will show your information, name, address and picture of your home. Not all of our info was accurate, but it's pretty close.




Check out the website -- People Search | White Pages | Phone Book | FREE! - it's kind of creepy. It has some of your personal info, even pictures of your house!



You can have your info removed for free by clicking on the "Privacy" link at the bottom of their home page.

a lot of houses in the USA are pictured online. Use google maps. Ours *would* be pictured but it was inputted incorrectly so if you type in our address correctly, our house doesn't show up but if you spell out street wrong, it will.

edited because I checked my stuff. They use google maps info so our house info is incorrect. Our house value is incorrect. Pretty much the only thing correct is that we are married, have kids and our ethnicity. I wouldn't trust too much of this info. Not sure where they get their info but 80% of our info is incorrect

It claims my house is worth 1M+, but we have no central heating (in New England). LOL!

I don't know where they get their information, but I wouldn't trust it if I was trying to spy on someone.

Both hubby and I were listed, but alot of the info was wrong. For him they didn't know if there was CHA on the house, but on mine it said there was CHA, uh, we live in the same house, so if they have the info for one they should have for the other it seems since they do have us married to each other, LOL. My education was wrong, my ocupation was wrong, they have 5-7 people living here, LOL, there are 3 of us, never have that many people lived here. For the picture of the house they had some trees, LOL. Most everything of hubby's was "unknown" and what they did know, his zodiac sign, was wrong. They had the same picture of trees for the house picture for him.

I would be extremely careful with this one, for me and I did it for some family members it seems like its old and not updated and also alot of the information is wrong where or how they got what they got I do not know .The picture of my home is correct but I have seen that before. However they do not have me as going to college yet they have my husband going which he did not. Alot of the homes are listed at 1 million plus my sign is wrong I am a taurus. Again I would not worry too much about this . For the record my dad nor my 3 brothers did not show up so who knows how they decide whom they carry in their files or data. Peace. Catherine

Yes it's all messed up! I noticed the $1 million + on everyone's houses..HAHAHA! I looked up some person and the picture of the house was CLEARLY NOT a $1 Million house!!!! Just some old small frame house probably $75,000 maybe! It shows that my husband's EX GF has his last name! HAHA! I guess she went around playing wifey or something? HIS/OUR phone number is listed at HER house like she's going around using OUR phone number. I don't know how all this information got all messed up or where it comes from? I can't find myself anywhere? My husband had himself removed because he's sick to death of finding his ex gf always listed as having his last name everywhere! All those people finder sites list her with his last name! I'd like to know where that came from? And where they find this information? I think it's just best to remove yourself!

I don't really know how but my husband was successful on removing himself but he's not coming up in a search result anymore. I do know that he was getting annoyed because he said "boy they don't want you to find where to remove yourself!" He got an email back from someone and he told them that if he could edit and make it right then it wouldn't be so bad but the information was horribly wrong!

I agree that most of the info is incorrect. It states that I am asian. I believe the site assumed this because my married name is japanese, although I am caucasian. The displayed picture is indeed old...at least 4 yrs. It shows our house prior to re-landscaping.

If you read under Privacy, the site states it "aggregates publicly available information from phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, business websites, and other public sources. Does not originate data or publish user-generated content like Facebook or MySpace. Rather, indexes third-party data in ways similar to Google or Bing. Does not control or maintain any aggregated third-party data, and therefore cannot guarantee its accuracy or currentness. Does not publish any information for children under 18".

I would be careful trying to delete your information as the site asks for an email address. This could be opening another can of worms for spam, etc. I am just going to ignore it...

I agree I will just ignore it because so much is wrong but I will admit you never know it can be scary but again we are talking about the internet here and you just never ever know or never ever can be so safe with your personal information listed anywhere on the internet. Peace. Catherine

This is not true because when I did the email search and looked to see what came up when I put in MY email address, the picture I use from MYSPACE came up! MS is the only place that I've ever used THAT picture!

When I posted this, I didn't expect it to turn into a comedy. But some of those errors sure are funny. There were a lot of errors on mine too. I did request that mine be deleted and it has. Since we're not tied to that site with any e-mail, I used the e-mail that I use for all my junk mail.

This is a crazy website! None of my family is listed except my son and it's TOTALLY wrong! It shows him as a parent (he's married with no children), it shows he owns his home (he rents right now) and that his house is worth over a quarter of a million dollars. And that he's a laborer, tradesman (he's in law enforcement!)

no scarier that the phone book. I really don't find this disturbing. I am not trying to hide from people.

It shows my house as being 1 million+ and only do I wish it was worth just half that much. But it also said a lower class neighborhood. So if a million + is lower class, what would high class be? Most of the rest of my info was all wrong too.

I was looking up lots of people I know just to see what would come up. When I looked up my ex it said he was of a different race. WHAT. It's not as if he has a common name to be confused with someone else.

Found the same thing with one of my email addresses.

My name (both maiden and married) doesn't come up. Doesn't look like this site is really reliable.
