Ok so there is a site called www.spokeo.com that I'm sure many of you are already aware of. If you haven't heard of it or don't know much about it, basically, it will give subscribers access to lots of your personal information such as your age, phone number, address, recent facebook pictures, etc... Today is the first time I've heard of it so I'm sure there are more of you out there. In order to prevent this breach of privacy, follow the steps below:
Go to www.spokeo.com
v
Type in your name and figure out which one is you
v
Click on See It All
v
Copy the URL at the top of the Subscription Page (will have your name in it somewhere)
v
Go to www.spokeo.com/privacy
v
Paste URL, type in email address and captcha
v
Check email and confirm removal
v

I feel so violated....... thanks for the help Krillin. Never would have guessed something like this was available to anyone and everyone.

I didn't know this existed either until I saw it on FB. Kinda scary having my address and phone number that available. I had to delete like 4 me's from previous addresses also.

Wow great find KRILLIN, much obliged buddy :)
Just removed family and I from the search engines, but it does make me wonder how many other sites there are that could possibly do the same thing.
Good find ....

This is like google and white pages combined. And a lot of public docs. You can privacy but the info is still out there, though it's kinda scary how easy it is to find info.

This is something I would recommend you guys check on periodically. You never know when something is going to pop up.
