Spokeo.com = scary

This may scare some of you, but take a look at this website.

People Search | White Pages | Phone Book | FREE!

You put in your name (or someone you're interested in) and it lists A LOT of information about you. Mine was not totally correct but it has pictures of your house, estimated values, lists of your hobbies, your phone number, your email address, whether you're married or have kids, and lots of other things. The only good thing is that it allows you to delete your information.

Wow, that is weird. I just used it to look up a few friends just to see what kind of profiles come up.

 

[jsharmon7]

There is also an email section where you input an email address and it searches the internet to find all mentions. Mine found my INGO account and brought up a picture from Facebook. It even searches youtube and those types of sites.

Went there...not very accurate info about me. Had my younger brother & his wife living with me, also said i was single.
Haven't been that way for over 33 years!
I did delete my listing, though.
Thanks for the link.

WOW! And holy crap!! How do you delete your info?

WOW! And holy crap!! How do you delete your info?

While you're on your listing, copy the URL at the top of the page. Then, at the bottom of the page it says "Privacy." When you click on "Privacy" it'll take you to a page where you can paste the URL of your listing and have it removed.

Yeah most everything seemed way off noticed that I apparently still live with my parents though i havent for 15 years and my mother is also apparently african american...

 

[tyler34]

they couldn't find me, I'm totally under their radar.

 

[dwh79]

My info was mainly wrong but I still removed myself.

 

[Bubba]

I apparently enjoy home decorating

 

[dwh79]

I collect figurines and read romance novels

 

[Jerry]

Haha... Couldn't find myself. It even said my parents have one less kid than they do. I looked up a dew of my friends and their info was pretty wrong.

 

[ljadayton]

It had bad info and had me living in Monument Circle, lol...no central air.......sigh...me and a bunch of pigeons?

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

Not listed.

EAT IT, WORLD!

Too cool for internet-school.

 

[shibumiseeker]

Almost everything about me was wrong! All of that scrambling of personal data on web forms has paid off!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Yeah, there wasn't much about me correct, either, save for a former address. Nice!

 

[IndyBeerman]

they couldn't find me, I'm totally under their radar.

Could not find me neither, but the wife was on there, gone now.

I apparently enjoy home decorating

And I have 2 brother's that I didn't know about, and I'm not active in politics either

Oh yeah, I don't live where they say I live, and apparently an old farm-house built in the late 1800's is worth $1M+

 

[brian.hoostal]

Same here. Most of the info was either extremely outdated or just plain wrong.

 

[Hoosier8]

Nice to see that I live in a house with no central air or heat and valued at about 4 times what it is worth. Turns out I make enough money to be working at Walmart according to that site.
