My laq found my address by doing an internet search for me. I was surprised she could do that, and so I checked myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and so I have a credential of LCSW. I found a listing for myself with my credential following the name (gotta be me), and it said I owned a restaurant! The name of the restaurant was "A Place to Eat." This is so funny because I love to cook and have talked about opening a restaurant named . . . get ready . . . "A Place to Eat." Is that weird or what? And just to be clear, I do NOT own a restaurant.

Maybe you posted about having a restaurant with that name somewhere and it picked up the information thinking that it actually existed.

Who knows? I have purchased kitchen stuff from a restaurant supply store, but I doubt I used that name.

You are correct that the Roman Numeral M =1000. But current usage in real estate ads 1K = 1000, and 1M = 100,000,000.

Maybe someone else has the same name as you and owns that restaurant. Have you googled your own name yourself, or the name of the restaurant?

There are a few other people with my name, and a couple of them are in professions similar enough to be confused with me.

What I find scary also is I log onto the Riverside, CA court system as my parents estate is in litigation since 1998 even though they both had a will stating everything was to go to my brother with Downes.

You can search by any persons name and find out any tickets, law suits, etc about that person.

Once when I was having problems with the web site, I called the court. I was told they had been hacked and criminal records had been removed.

My name is very unusual--enough that people call us asking if we are related. I think there may be 200 people in the country with my same last name. Furthermore, they put it with my credential following, and there definitely isn't more than one of those.

That was my thought exactly LOL

This is funny more than scary to me. My DH and I were not listed in eithr CT or AZ, and we've lived/owned property in CT for 38 yrs, AZ for 16. The governor of CT is a friend, and she lives in our town in CT - and she isn't listed either! Nor is her husband. I realize that's probably a security issue, but it's still funny.

I looked up my kids, and both were listed - with a lot of errors. DH and are listed at DD's house - DH listed as DD's husband - ewwwwwwwwww, and his age is 30 yrs younger than he is! But they got my age right.
