how do these sites even get your info?

when you register for sites (fb, myspace, etc) or sign up for thing, most of the time they will sell your info, even when they say they don't
Spokeo makes a lot of guesses based on the type of building/neighborhood demographics and puts together some informaiton about people at the address based on magazines, mail purchases, etc.  It is also not particularly current.  A lot of the specific informaiton it shows for me is clearly based on the people that lived at my old address before I lived there.  Basically, the informaiton Spokeo provides can be hella, HELLA wrong unless you've lived at the same address with the same people since the advent of the internet. 

  

I was on there, but it has the wrong address, has my parents' names wrong, and the credit score isn't even close.  Doesn't seem that personal of information if they're just guessing.

They found me through email and had my location on there.. good to see it was easy to remove

 

[kn0wledgeable]

not there

no social networking = living on the internet like a fugitive

 

[optimusprimeaphia]

They make you pay to remove stuff right? Brilliant business idiots.

 

[sneakerking757]

No trace.

 

[brandon3000]

I saw myself on there last night.. nothing serious but it linked my email to facebook and pulled up all the stations I subscribe to on Pandora as well as video games I bought off Amazon

no privacy these days

 

[kicktionair]

People getting surpeised they on there and have a myspace and stuff.

I make sure non of my info is THAT available online cause who knows the real damage that can be done in real life with some if the info floating around and being so easily accessible.

The man is watching

 

[finnns2003]

I'm relieved, I thrive on privacy and secrecy... Too bad family is on there.
