Nothing is private anymore. Pretty Scarry. Removed our listing.
Although they had my husband listed as in his 80's.....LOL

I don't see anything on me that you can't find in a phone book and then checking sites like zillow.com. I'm not concerned.... try googling yourself and probably see more you'd worry about than on that site! lol

My mom emailed me all in a panic about this site. I went and checked and there is nothing there that is not easily found within public records. Hardly worth the energy and effort to try and remove it.

There are over a hundred with my name, so I can pretend it is not me... I would like to have that amount of money though. Have no idea where they got that from!

One of the things to learn from sites like this, if you post (facebook, blogs, forums, anything online), it is available to anyone, for a very very long time!

Here's a fun thing to do - you can set up google alerts - email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Well, they have me living where I lived two years ago. The house we sold in 2006 for over $300K they show as being worth $157K. I know property has dropped considerably but not that much. Since they don't know where we are or what we do I'm not going to worry about it. Not sure where they get there info but I'd hate to pay for information about someone and have it all wrong.

That site was mentioned on a local news channel a year or so ago. Even though they made a big deal about it for news sake the reporter admitted it was info that was easily available and usually incorrect, as many mentioned here.
