FYI EVERYONE- There's a site called spokeo.com and it's an online phone book that has a picture of your house, credit score, profession, age, how many people live in the house. Remove yourself by the Privacy button on the bottom right. (passing along, scary stuff!) I personally checked it out and it is really there!!

I think it triggers Myspace, and Facebook users... All my friends, as well as myself are on there. A friend of mine subscribed just to see... It's got everything you could imagine about people on there. All you really need is the full legal name to find yourself.

I have a non-listed number with a non-mainstream cellular company, and they have it.

They have my old address in IL, and a picture of mainstreet Elwood, but no one would know my house because the little pin they have on the map is about 2 blocks east of the actual house where I used to live.

They have bupkis on me down here, cuz I have a cell phone and magic jack.

They have every pic I ever put on the internet... My current credit score... Where I work, as well as everywhere I ever worked... Everyone in my family... My cellular number. The only thing they messed up, was my current address. It's about three address old.

But when I type in my email addy, it shows pictures that I have posted on my profile page, and it has replies that I've made to stories on yahoo.

If I type in my email addy or my nym here(Mingle) on yahoo, it also shows posts that I've made in chatrooms, and posts that I've made here on Mingle.

It has a lot of incorrect information about me, but there's also a lot of stuff that's too close for comfort. I really don't like having that much available with a few keystrokes. In my tiny universe, this comes close to 'invasion of privacy'. I've already sent this out to my address book contacts.
