Privacy issues - for those trying to stay, well private


There's a site called Spokeo.com that's new online. It has USA phone book with personal information: everything from pictures you've posted on the web, your approximate credit score, home value, income, age, even credit card #'s.



Remove yourself by searching your name, find your page, copy the PAGE URL then go back to the Spokeo homepage and at the bottom of the page click on “Privacy”.



A window will open which will allow you to paste the copied URL , insert your e-mail address, type in the code displayed and then submit. I cannot promise that your E-mail address will not be retained and sold by them. I used my AOL mail, which I ONLY use for On Line stuff, as the confirmation e-mail address. Spokeo.com will send you a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address submitted. You must acknowledge their confirmation to complete the removal process.



If you do not have a separate e-mail address for on-line transactions, then one I would suggest you get a FREE Hotmail, G-mail or Yahoo E-mail address to use for On Line Purchases. I use my Gmail account to printout confirmations and delete all the other stuff.
