yooo everybody. my mom and i were goofing around and found this seriously FUCKED UP site. all your information, (phone number, nam, address even) is available for 2.99. like everything. please watch this video on how to remove it. (im not sure if it’s there for minors, but if you’ve ever owned/rented a house you’re definitely there. it’s worth checking it out to make sure.)

fucked up website: http://www.spokeo.com/

also, if you’ve lived in more than one place/state it has you multiple times, remove all of your profile things. (it had my mom 4 times, all over our state. even from when she lived in a house 9 years ago.)

psa over.

SIGNAL BOOST THIS SHIT

oh my god

HOLY FUCK THIS ISN’T A JOKE. THIS IS FUCKED UP.

So, THIS is how Bronies got a hold of my old CA address when they were trying to harass me… too bad it was about 14 years out of date.  Signal boosting.

Find your own profile on the site. Copy the URL. Go to spokeo.com/optout and paste the URL in the provided field and follow the rest of the instructions.

It’s funny, in the “old days” everyone had their address and phone number in the phone book and it was no big deal.  The fact that we regard these things as private information now really makes me feel like the world is getting nastier. Or more that it’s gotten easier for the nasty people to be nasty.

InstantCheckMate is another of these sites - there are multiples out there unfortunately.  Remove yourself here: https://www.instantcheckmate.com/optout

at least they had the wrong phone number for me. I’m guessing they snagged it from Facebook where I changed it to try to redirect the student loan calls to my parents
