if you read their privacy policy it states that they have already sold your info to third-parties. removing your name from their list does not remove your name from the other lists.
not only is my son listed, but every one of his addresses from birth, including his new house and exactly what he paid for it. also the name of his wife, so if you wanted her info, you could get that as well. even though there are some wrong 'facts' such as the value of my own home and my education and the year of my birth, too much is right, including my home address and phone number. any whacko can stalk or harass me now.

my daughter is listed along with every group she's a member of privately and professionally and what the agendas were at those meetings. in order to get off their list you have to give them your email address. another piece they can sell.

Neither my husband or I are listed...I wonder if it helps that I shred all mail (junk or otherwise) that has our address or email of phone on it.

True, but with so many people's information to choose from, the wackos probably won't pick you.

That doesn't mean you're safe from the marketers, though.

well, you never know. loonies have different tastes, after all. :mrgreen:

what's great for one wacko may be terrible for the next. you MIGHT be implying that there's a phsycho out there that considers me below his interest level. (why would i immediately think it's a 'he'?)

nah, you can't be implying that! :wink:

It's a good thing to be below the interest level of a wacko. Take it from a wacko magnet who knows...

When I try this and put in my name or names of my kids, nothing happens, just says 117 in US and done at bottom of page. Does this mean its not finding me?

Interesting. First they said no such person. When I put in my nickname, it gave my address and DH's name. Under the profile it said I was a 30 year old male.
