I recieved this in email

It doesn't really make me worry. Lots of phone books have had reverse directories for a long time. You can be wise without living in fear.

I know a person can refuse to have their number printed in a phone book...but if it is still available through 411, it's open season, unfortunately!

Cool! My phone number went to an older webpage where my bassist and I have a little writeup...a promo!

The email address is LONG gone, however. :-)

If I do a search for Canada only - nothing.

I do have my info on a do-not-call registry, so maybe that is why.

I did an search for mine and it gave my moms name but the map couldnt find our address, i dont know why?

omg! I found our number.. and it said my moms name AND our address! Creeepy!

Thanks so much!

This is bad. It even gives the month and year you were born. Not cool.

Nothing shows up for mine either.... perhaps it's because I am with Vonage.

WOW, Val you're right!!
That's seriously not right that they list your date of birth!!! WOW!

Well, as long as the person listed can remove them from the listing, i guess it is legal.

Apparently, you can't.

I just checked out a few US people on Zabasearch and it shows their current and past addresses, phone number, approximate home value and heaps of other stuff that I can't remember! Also if you pay them $$ you can find out a lot more stuff that should not be available to just anyone. They can even tell you the relatives and neighbors of some people. I must have a look and see if something like that is available here. :(

There are many internet sites where you can pay to find out personal information on people. Some have been shut down, some are not doing anything "illegal", and more keep popping up every year. It is tough to keep up. Unfortunately, a lot of it is public information that people are not aware is out there, but some clever site operator will put together in one place. If you have never visited your County or State website, take a look around, you may be surprised at what you find.
