We certainly should have a case, if there is a lawyer. Many women, children, and even men, have protective orders, and that person cannot know where they live. This site is asking for HUGE trouble if one of them is put in danger!

DON'T BE AN IDIOT AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION.

THIS IS CALLED "PHYSHING" - they are fishing for your credit and personal information so they can either sell it or use it to steal your identity.

Last week I got 3 requests from banks to "update my account" - I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH ANY OF THOSE BANKS. I SENT THE EMAIL LINK INFO INSTEAD TO THE SECRET SERVICE.

[gidget7]

I thought the same thing, which is why I refuse to srite and tell them anything. But like I said, they need to remove addresses as well.

My cover is good! Not listed...

[marmar]

Hopefully, this will put the brakes on this intrusion...

[birbear]

uhm... phonebook?

[Dan from Michigan]

They go by phone records mostly, and some of their info is wrong.

[marmar]

So how do they get your BD and how do they get your full name when mine is just my first initial.

[CHARLITE]

I didn't think of it as being sensationalist material. I thought of it as general information which FR members might want to check into. If there is a website that has personal information about people without their knowledge or consent, wouldn't they want to simply be aware of it?

Whoa, thanks for the heads up! My husband and I and very nearly everyone we know, that I entered is on the list. Very scary.

The address thing doesn't bother me as much as the birthdate. That isn't coming from phone records.

Wonder what people have access to if they pay for the background check?

Thanks for the heads' up. I didn't think about that.

Found myself listed 6 times! Thanks for posting this. Notifying everyone I know who would like this intrusion of their privacy.

[conservativebabe]

Yep, I been getting a lot of those lately too.

Makes me wonder how stupid they think people are.

[Dan from Michigan]

Phonebook is just the easiest.

There's a ton of information that's easy to get. If I was doing ops research for a political campaign, I could find out quite a bit from public record between the internet, clerks office, deeds office, campaign finance records, voter files, and everything else.

That doesn't even account for marketing sales.

[marmar]

In other words......I've been had???

[CHARLITE]

"It appears to be based on (published) phone records and on real estate ownership records."

No. Can't be. My phone is not in my name; neither is any real estate - and this has been the case for 5 years.

They must be able to compile this information from general internet traffic.......even the information that you give in order to register for your ISP. As for D.O.B., that can be obtained in a number of ways.

To me, this is very much of concern. Privacy is gone when a site like this can exist.

"But ... they need to remove addresses as well."


How do you know they HAVE your address ..??

Did their email state what your address was and then ask you if you wanted it removed ..??

[CyberAnt]

This isn't designed to put the brakes on any intrusion .. this is just part of it. They want your info.

If they want to just "verify" and then ask you if you want it removed .. did their email tell you your phone # and email address and ask you if you want it removed ..??

Good grief!

[marmar]

I didn't email them anything.....what are you referring to?

[Dan from Michigan]

This just should be shown to elected officials on state and federal. They'll probably absolutely love seeing their addresses and phone numbers there - as in their home phone numbers.
