Spokeo.com - Scary site w your personal information

Original post by Diana508

Someone on FB posted about this site. It's extremely creepy what comes up. Luckily, my name doesn't. There happens to be someone in my same town with the same name but it's not me!

Try looking yourself up!

there's a million sites out there guys. i dont think this is anything new. you are listed with the people you live with. its not like your ssn is avail to people.

people can do a background check on you but... they could do that with or w/o the site.

No, it's not new. I just hadn't seen one with SO much information and wanted people to be aware and adjust the privacy settings.

btw this site pulls info from other public sites. As long as you have phones, own a house or apartment, etc...you are out there.

I believe theres prob a bunch of sites out there like this one. They somehow gather all info that you have put on the web. Some of it can prob even come from the whitepages. What I think is the scariest is how cheap it is for someone to gain someone elses information. If they are going to provide the info they have they should at least increase the price!! After you opt out of having your info on their site - make sure you check your email and click the link in the email they send you. I did this yesturday and it worked.

w t f !? I'm on there with my parents too!

my father doesn't even know HOW to use a computer!?
HOW did they get my info!?

Re: Spokeo.com - Scary site w your personal information

Why is alot of the info wrong though? My grandpa owns a million dollar home to lol. And there's a picture of a random child, not me, as a picture. I also never had the picture, I have no clue who the kid is, on my myspace, facebook, anything like that so I find it weird.

Re: Spokeo.com - Scary site w your personal information

They want an email address to make it work. Is that even safe?

btw, it says i'm married with kids, and that my education is high school (I have a masters, so that's old...), and FH is not even listed!!!



I think i'll just give my 'spam email address'
