Thanks for the link. Welcome to the age of information. When you buy something with your credit card.... when you apply for a mortgage.... when you answer surveys.... when you blog... when you post on forums.... when you have telephone & internet.... when you pay taxes on property....

... all your information is available.

this is another one that you can find out wayyyyy too much about yourself or others on http://www.123people.com/
right down to facebook photos and work addresses. Like I always say, there is NO privacy on the internet, as long as you remember that you wont post anything you dont want known.

About 40% correct. They have my house value listed at 1M+...yeah right. That is way off.

They've got my dad's information pretty good (90+%)

but mine was almost 100% wrong. They think I am in my late 60's...which just isn't the case.

Wow, it already removed my listing. They ask for an email address which you have to click on a link. I used one of my "dummy" emails and it worked.
