Spokeo information directory
Have you guys heard of this search engine yet? I read about it on facebook and then tried a family member's name to see if it worked. Scary stuff. Lists address, income level, property value, age and more - though not all the information is accurate.

Other than my name & address, my information was 100% inaccurate.
(although I wish I was making $372k/year like it says I do...)

That's interesting. My address was wrong, but I only moved a couple of months ago. I come closer to making $316k / decade than per year, but interesting nonetheless.

ahh....those $300k numbers look like they're supposed to be a median house value or something like that.

yeah, but I think that's probably more like $372k is the median value of households in your zipcode or something like that.

Yeah, if you want to remove yourself, get the URL for your page, click on 'privacy' at the bottom, and follow the directions. My sexy charms get me enough stalkers. There's no need to enable them with stuff like this.

It's pretty far off on me, WAY off on the value of my home and doesn't know how old I am.

It doesn't have my Austin or Seattle address, but my DFW address from 8+ years ago. It also says I'm married and it seems to think my father is my brother and my actual father is unknown.
Maybe it's right. Computers always are.

Apparently I'm still in college in California, yet I'm living with my unknown parents.

That's a trip...not to mention a bit eerie. In addition to the information, you can view a Google Maps picture of the property. Now we can see that I'm indeed a redneck as the picture shows my rundown house with overgrown trees, grass, brush and an empty flatbed trailer in my driveway. It's about 2-3 years old.
Some of this stuff is getting to be a bit too convenient...not sure that any of us want to live like complete open books. Not that we have anything to hide, but not sure I want con artist to have data that they can manipulate and use. |
