Privacy

A Facebook Friend posted this:

"I'm posting this here too since not all of you are on my friends list.here's a site called spokeo.com 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, pics of where you live, income, age. Remove yourself by searching your name, find the page for yourself, copy the URL and then go to the bottom of the page and click on the Privacy link to remove yourself"


When i entered my name nothing came up , but when i entered my e-mail addresses all kinds of info came up, even though i have a lot of sites on private.
Just wanted to pass this along to my blogging friends


How to remove your info if you find any:



it will send an e-mail so you can confirm the request

ps. I do realize a lot of information is already out there and it is pretty impossible to remove personal info of the net, but this only takes a few minutes and (hopefully) can't hurt.

Thanks for this info. I have to check this out. I don't use Facebook, but I am sure there is other info they could get.

I don't do face book and I'm not computer literate. My son helps me out a lot.
