Spokeo.com is a 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, etc. You can remove yourself by searching for yourself on their site, copying the URL of your page, then go to the bottom of the page and click on Privacy button to remove yourself. Copy & repost so your FB friends are aware.



I was able to bring up my mom and daughters on this site, not only addresses shown, but a picture of the home plus other info......and some are finding their email address brings up info........check to see if you are there and get your self removed......sigh

I just checked under my name and noting there, but I have full blocks implemented on my Facebook, so my info goes nowhere unless, I say so.....make sure to check all your privacy settings on there and black it to anyone that can see...you can leave your friends on but keep them from sending your info....
