Title: FYI EVERYONE
Post by: Blazin on April 09, 2010, 06:47:34 pm
 There's a site called spokeo.com and it's an online phone book that has a picture of your house, credit score, profession, age, how many people live in the house. Remove yourself by the Privacy button on the bottom right. (passing along) I personally checked it out and it is really there!! CUT PASTE ......AND FORWARD /  REPOST!! ( this is creepy..also check your maiden names!!! )
I wasn't on there, but several I know are, including my elderly mother!!!

that's funny

Here's my info, pretty accurate, but, I'm trying to figure how my house is worth over $1million yet i live in a below average neighborhood.  hmmm, something doesn't quite add up.

Age:  early 40'sGender:  Male
Ethnicity:  Caucasian
Zodiac:  Scorpio
Relationship:  MarriedChildren:  Yes
Occupation:  Tradesman/Machinist/Laborer   [wrong]  
Education:  College Degree
Hobbies:  Reading
Home Owner:  Yes
Residence:  Single Family House
Length of Residence:  19 years
Est. Home Value:  $1M+     [I'm willing to sell for that price in today's market]  
Neighborhood:  Below Average

Loves reading.  [Guilty as charged.  I love reading that my house is worth over a million bucks]
Enjoys shopping?  Ha!  If I shopped a lot, i couldn't afford a million dollar house!
Is not interested in politics.    [wrong-i think those who read my posts would think otherwise]  
I have three people in my household and have children.  All three people, according the site, are parents.  hmmmm--my 5 yr old son may have some explaining to do.

I know some of it is not correct, but there is enough that it could be a target finder for an elderly person, or single woman / mother. Just not cool.  :-X

i agree, it's scary what's out there.  Something I tried on that site is enter many of my friends and i found out something.  My friends who don't do much on the internet cannot be found.  Those who have websites, or, do a lot of certain transactions or sign up for sites with passwords and such has more of their correct info on the site.  Interesting.  My dad or brother, neither of whom have a computer, are not listed.

Yes I found the same results. If you read farther into it it implies that the more you are computer active you are the better the chances of finding your info.

LOL, I'm in my 80's and apparently live with my mom. Then I have children and live on a lake! Wooho

If you want your information removed they ask for your email address... sounds like they're just trying to get more ways to steal your identity.

I agree, the definately want more info. Most of that info is in the local telephone book. On mine, the number is wrong, I also live in a million dollar home ( which is for sale for 3/4s of that now,lol) and apparently have another dependant that I can right off. The gave the previous owner, who is deceased and has been for 3 years, my last name and shows she live here. So, I should be able to get a tax deduction for supporting her ghost,LOL

a lot of the info on me is wrong, but i think that's because i give out a lot of BS online, specifically for that reason.

it says i'm in my 40's,   i'm 27.
says i have a kid,   would that be my dog?  if not i have to make some phone calls and find that little phil running around, i coud use his help with firewood....
says i own a 1m dollar house.....  i rent
says im in a realationship,   with who?   i've been happily single for over a year!
