Heads up ... Privacy issue to check out

[Cetawin]

FYI-There's a site called spokeo.com that's a new online USA phone book with your personal info:everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your credit score, home value and pix, income, age, children,etc. Remove yourself by searching for your name, copy the URL of your page, then go to the bottom right corner of ...the page, click the Privacy button to remove yourself.


I removed stuff in my name, my husband's and I know several other people who have found their ifnormation there, including one of our moderators/administrators. Check it out.

Here is the Snopes.com confirmation of this
