Just found this site https://www.spokeo.com

You enter someone's name and you can find just about everything even their income.

I always go through the pain of getting all data REMOVED from these sites. I wrote letters too........ Pain in the ass, but worth it in the end

I guess some info is left out for some people. I can't see anyone's income though for some reason.

We were talking about this at work the other day. IMO, privacy will soon be a relic of the past. The current generation who have always had internet and puts every single thing that they do on Facebook don't value their privacy like us older folks do. I'm noticing friends (my age) who now use the "checking in" feature.

i must be doing something right.....a few people share my name, but other than that there's nothing specific to me.....might wanna think twice about signing up at a place like this....you think they gonna keep your info secret?

It lists me about 4 times, under various addresses I've lived at... no real info aside from that though.

Website basically pulled up garbage for myself and my wife...nothing was even close to true on my profile and they had my wife's ethnicity (labeled as Indian and she is as white as me) wrong. I checked my parent's too....again everything was completely wrong or non-existent - seems like a good scam to get you to pay a dollar to remove information they have skimmed from other sites.

I'm completely off the grid. The site can't find me. Booyah.
