Below is some information that I received from a friend on Facebook that I just thought I would pass along:
"There's a site called People Search | White Pages | Find People | FREE! that's a new online USA phone book w/personal information: everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your approx credit score, home value, income, age. Remove yourself by searching your name, copy the URL of your page, then go to the bottom right corner of the page and click on the Privacy button to remove yourself. Copy & re-post so your FB friends are aware."
When I entered my name, my address (as well as a map to my house), phone number, people in my household, type of house, value of home, etc. came up. If anybody wanted to pay the fee to join this site, they could then have access to my email address, credit information, etc. I know there are a lot of these sites out there, but if we can remove ourselves one-by-one, I feel we are making progress.
When you copy the URL and then go to the Privacy tab at the bottom you will need to paste the URL, enter your email address and the "code word" at the bottom. If you aren't scrolled all the way to the bottom of the screen you won't think the deletion took place because another "code word" appears; however at the very bottom of the screen there will be a message in red advising you to check your email to confirm the deletion. Once confirmed, you information will be deleted.
Happy Deleting!
