Search your real name, then come back to this thread.


Errata: Only applies to the United States.



















































Scary, right?

It's alright, all you have to do now is remove your own listing. Simply copy the URL of the page with your listing, and use it at http://spokeo.com/optout/

Now it's a little less scary. But the issue of how they got your information still remains, right? They don't collect the information themselves. Their privacy page sums it up pretty well in my opinion.


The fact is, all this information was already publicly available, what they have done is gathered it all up and put it in one easy place.

Discuss privacy issues.

I couldnt find myself
This.

I found my dad who has the same name though, and even that was dating back 8 years and he's already passed away.

I couldn't find myself or anyone in my immediate family.

No results found.
WELL I'M SAFE


I forgot to mention it only applies to the united states.

looks no different then classic white pages reverse lookup.
i mean my name? of COURSE thats everywhere lol. thats how everything works. basic info on people were not meant to be private. and never has been for the better part of the century.




Found myself
phone number was wrong so was my email and it was missing two members of my family and thought one of my sisters was a guy. It isn't very reliable.

also note all their ages lol

the very moment they become real citizens and have jobs, use banks, have phones, bills, insurance, accounts at stores and everything that normal adults do. instantly all their basic info is open to the world.

its been this way for as long as these things have existed

THATS WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK
I used the email feature and this came up

Probably have to be older than 18 to be found.
