There's a site called spokeo.com that's a new online USA phone book w/personal information: everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your approx credit score, home value, income, age. Remove yourself by searching your name, find the URL of your page, then go to the bottom right corner of the page and click on the Privacy button to remove yourself. Copy & re-post so your FB friends are aware!

right, but you should google Spokeo. the site isnt the problem. the problem is your info is out there and that site is just gathering it.

But you have the ability to make it difficult for someone to get the info, by deleting it.

I looked up my self. They said I lived at my old place in Iowa. I haven't lived there in like 8 years. I guess the internet is wrong.

HeHe i must be doin somethin right cause im not on there :)

I looked up my name.  Some popped up, but mine was not among them.

My info is wrong, so I'll leave it ;)

Honestly though, you give anyone 10 bucks and 2 minutes, they could find all this and more on hundreds of more sites. Hard to completely remove yourself from the net...

Omg. They have everything from my name, address, number... How do u delete information?

If you don't want those three pieces of information out there you have to go to every house in your county and collect the phone books. ;D

What's the big deal?

It also got my credit score, home value, my salary. I don't want everyone to see it...

U might, but I don't.

Oh, I see, and I agree.  Credit score, home value, and salary are a little more personal than common information you can find the the local phone book.

Ok so how do you delete it, I don't want everyone knowing how poor I am.

home value? big deal. credit score and salarys are fake.

Which may be more reason to delete it. There are employers out there who may check things like these before offering you a job.

Did it. Thanks.

Other than the apx value of my home I saw nothing. However I did not join,login or pay to see anything.  I could not remove my listing, tried the code about 6 times.

  • Super User

A relative of mine removed her information a couple of weeks ago........it's back up again.
