There's a site called spokeo.com that's a new online USA phone book with your personal info: everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your credit score, home value and pix, income, age, children, etc. Remove yourself by searching for your name, copy the URL of your page, then go to the bottom right corner of the page, click the Privacy button to remove yourself.

I checked it out and found myself - really scary. Not all the info wascorrect but I didn't like the idea of even being on this list so I removed my profile. It only takes a few clicks to get off the list!

I will look BUT I'm more upset over this! My Gran Daughter is on Facebook, So Now I am To watch over Her! Well she sent me a note so I go to check and up pops a Game called 'the YES/NO game, so OK you get stuff like: Is Lori pretty? Does Lori drink soda? Is Lori a Slut? Just blew me away :!: This is out there for everyone on 'FB' to do about everyone :!: It gets Really :evil: I call her Mom Asap! Thats can hurt someones life fast.

I wish we had the income stated because then I'd have more money for fabric. LOL!! I'm gonna look up my whole family.

A funny trend in farm country. Barns aren't taxed as high as houses in some places. Therefore, several people I know have built large (and I do mean large) metal buildings. They're large enough to put a two-story 3 bedroom house in one end and still have a large barn for machinery, etc.

How did you remove your profile???

how did you all see that info did you pay to join

I didn't pay the info was just there.

What scared me more was the part where it said, "click here" to remove yourself, and then once you did that, it asked for your email address!!!!

I'm thinking, "why", so you can add it to my information that you aren't going to delete.

Mine's not accurate either, but I figure, they must have gathered it from somewhere else on the web, so even if you get it deleted off their site, it is still available someplace else.

funny, according to this site I live with my ex and His ex in a different state :-P
I'm leaving that info up, lol

I cant get my name off...it is there twice...when I go to privacy and fill in everything where it wants code it keeps refusing saying is wrong...HELP
