    Yeah, try removing the aerial view of your address on zillow.com.
    How would I go about doing that?

    It is not terribly accurate. It shows my 32 year old sister in law as my daughter. LOL!

    The thing that sites like Spokeo do is simply aggregate available 3rd party information that's already floating around the internet about you. Any time you sign up for anything that asks your zip code, age range, gender, etc. etc. that information doesn't just sit there. It makes its way to the giant pit called the internet and it gets gathered up and spit out on sites like Spokeo. There are probably a dozen or more websites that have the same information collected about you. Not all of it is right, obviously, but most of it is. There's not much you can do about it other than removing yourself from sites as you find them.

    Yay public domain.

    so i wanna say is that yes this has my info online 4 every 2 c.

    but it has it under a name i don't use. :laugh:

    also it has my info all mixed up. :laugh: so it may have my address but that's pretty much the only thing it has correct.

    i don't like that it gives out this info & it's just creepy.... <icked out..> :huh: :mad: :explode:

    It was sites like that that allowed my stalker of 5 years to find out where I live, etc. Pretty disturbing.

    I wasn't able to find myself, but with a last name like Johnson, it's common. And I'vebeen overseas for 2 years. I did not see me in my current location or my permanent address. BUT I did look for my mom, and I was able to find my information (maiden) information linked to her. I can't even believe it points to the house!

    Found two entries for me and one for my spouse. Interesting that she had a child but I didn't....lol. Disturbing nonetheless and I removed all three. Unfortunately there are apparently about a dozen of these sites....

    I checked for myself and people I know--all the information I found is at least 6 years old! Guess we aren't that interesting!

    (BTW--I have NEVER been worth 284k! I WISH!)
