SCAREy scary! Ultimate creep-out for me; ultimate excellent tool for a psycho stalker/mentally ill stalkers, like the one I once obtained a R.O. against and pray that the thought of me never flickers though his sick synapses again... but if it did, wow, he gets my address, a map and a photo of my house. Brilliant.

Too scared to do that but what does it say about you? Most any free people search will give your name, age, address, phone number, map of your house, and a list of your relatives. Paying a fee would get all your legal documents. Doing a search on your name brings up more.

I'm happy to say that, although I found myself there, the data was inaccurate and out of date. Of course, I didn't pay the subscription fee to see all of the data.

>>>Want to really get creeped out/ go to Spokeo.com and type in your name....<<<

Which I did! And the information was fabulously wrong on so many levels that it was funny, starting with getting my birthday wrong and working up from there.

I have bad news for you. Everything on that website could have been obtained in the pre-Internet era with a good set of walking shoes and a legal pad. Back in the old day, pre-Internet, I was a reporter (I’m ashamed of it as well), and getting all of the info on Spokeo.com was already available for someone who knew how get it. And it’s just as accurate as the media usually is about these things! LOL

Seriously... everything I saw is public record, and someone has always had the ability to take a photo of your house from the street. What creeps me out is living in a post-Constitutional republic with that information available to the state.

I had never heard of that site until reading your post. It even has a picture of the house that we used to rent. And that’s just some of it. That freaked me out.

I actually just did that to see what came up and it was a little underwhelming. They listed my home address as a house I moved out of in 1989.

Interesting... I use Spokeo.com all the time to verify my own customers identities (I sell Automotive programmers online) and had not bothered to put my own name in till you suggested it.

44 different hits with my name, none of them are me, none indicate an address where I live and none even in the state where I own my retirement property.

For someone who has lived online since the internet was made public, I've done ok :-)

Now that is spooky. They have 4 instances of me in Indiana, and all of them are me at different addresses!

You aren’t kidding. The front of my house is on that page. The only thing they got wrong was my religion.

LOL! They have a few correct facts about me - information on my house, the fact that I’m female, in my 40s, and active in the local GOP - and a lot of error.
