Should I be worried about Spokeo.com?

The first site I looked at had some accurate info on me, but it also said that I am 34 years old and then there was another match that was also me but it said I was 83 years old. I wonder where they got those ages, I'm 28 lol.

Damn

Only address they have on me is one from 13 years ago. I'm a ghost, the internets ain't got shit on me.

How have they not gotten sued yet, i would think that by now theres at least one person dead because some serial killer from their high school days found them and killed em because they signed up for the one month trial at findtorturekill.comm and it had their familys info

it's "public information", apparently.

 

[DFresh77]

you can remove your information from this site.. I did it a couple of years ago..

 

[Meta4iCAL]

Damn they know where I live, although I bought my house so that information will be more public anyways

 

[emma]

Yeah, I removed myself a long time ago too, but all of these sites have disclaimers that the info is gathered from publicly available sources.

I'm not listed in the phone book and I don't own a home, so I'm not sure what those supposed public sources were. Maybe it's from voter registration or the post office? Definitely pretty creepy either way though.

The DMV is one of the top sellers of peoples private info.

Also magazine and catalog companies too.
