Call it the information age I guess. This website has a collection of "free" information on everyone that inculdes home values, relationships, and other stuff. Crazy... www.spokeo.com |

Don't know whether to feel better (safer), or not. Checked the listing on myself, and the only piece of info they have correct is that I'm male. |

you mean you arent living off grid under an assumed name by now >? You havent been paying attention I suppose you still keep your money in a bank, get mail, and drive a car with license plates, have a social security number, a credit card, and registered (if you have any) your guns. How big do you want your tin foil hat? The govt, can't do shiat with the mounds of info it already has on you. it could seize the banks, nationalize them, and recall the currency to issue new 'notes' though |

yep I just checked, they have me listed too bad the address was historically a vacant plot, that until recently was empty..... The new fire house is there I am told they get an unbelievable amount of cart-sort crap to some Brian guy..... I would like to thank Jake and Elwood for that little tidbit |

Problem being if you search for yourself and nothing comes up, it will then get passed on to the spiders and it will find stuff on you. |

I'm still safe. It knows my dad but not me. It is what I use to find out where someone has been. |

There are 10 of me, 6 in GA, 2 in CA, 1 in FL, and 1 in another town about 5 miles away from my current address. I am not listed at all. Their all IMPOSTERS! |

If one pokes around a bit, one can removes oneself from Spokeo, as I have. Here is their instructions on how to do it, which is number 8 in their FAQs section: 8. How do I remove my information from Spokeo’s search results? Spokeo respects your privacy, and you can easily opt out of Spokeo’s public search if desired. Please note that since the information aggregated by Spokeo is publicly available, opting out of Spokeo does NOT remove the information from its original sources, which are hundreds of additional websites. You can remove the search results derived from performing any Name, Reverse Phone or Reverse Email searches here. To remove your Name/Phone/Email Listing(s): 1. Locate the listing to remove (for name listings, please select the state, city, then exact profile match) 2. Copy the URL (the URL can be found on the top of your browser and should look something like "http://www.spokeo.com/search?q=Smith%20Sample#Samp le:1219812367") 3. Go to www.spokeo.com/privacy 4. Paste the URL 5. Provide your email address (this acts as a verification process for the confirmation to be sent to your Inbox) and Captcha Code (Image Verification Code) 6. Check you Inbox for the confirmation email, and click on the link on the bottom to complete the removal process. 7. The directory listing will become flagged and will be removed within 1 business day. Bit of a pain, but worth it. Apparently, they buy some of the info from Facebook, or so I am told. I also signed off of that site. |

I'd much rather pay property taxes based on what they value our building at. |

We could not locate 'Matthew Gene Anthony'. Are you sure you spelled the person's name correctly? This is funny, because I'm in the phonebook. Always have been. |
