Turbocoop Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 My girlfriend heard about this site and sent a link to me where it showed all kinds of personal info. It had my age, home value, a picture of my house, my credit score.... pretty much anything you can think of that you ever put on the internet anywhere. Most of the info was wrong, but its still bullshit that they can put all that info up there and say its legal. All you have to do is search for your name, go to your state and town and find your address. Once you find your info, and it will most likely be there, click on privacy on the bottom of the page and enter the URL of your info page and you can remove yourself. I just did it myself. It even had pictures of my truck and stuff I bought online from forums like this one. Heres this gay ass site: http://www.spokeo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porno Joe Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) all that website is doing is pulling any info you have put out on the web and bringing it together, not taking the sites side on this or anything, but all it knew bout me was my name, everything else it had 100% wrong except my address and phone number. if you dont put info about yourself out there = no one can f*ck with your identity Edited April 8, 2010 by Porno Joe (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Of course, all of you must realize that this is a phishing website. They are trying to lure you to their site in hopes that you will pay them. By paying them, you give them your CC#...then guess what happens. This site is well known in IT security...don't be foolish folks, going to this site, adding/correcting any info, and paying them for any service is only asking for more trouble.
