Safety check time guys...

Seems that spokeo.com has been scraping LJ, Facebook, and other social sites to link together pictures, blogs, and other information they can about who you possibly are. You may want to check how much info they have on you. I've seen mentioned that you can have them remove the info, but I have yet discover the process on how that is done.

I did it about 20 minutes after this post. I wanted to give it another hour to check to see if they actually removed the listing. At least they didn't link my real name(s) with my online ones though =-)

They actually removed my email listing. I'll remove my real name listing later (from a different email address so as not to link the two together).

The data they think they have on me is amusing. Apparently I live alone (not true for 4 years, and only for a year then) and my home is worth more than $1M. They also have a listing for me at my parents' house, where I apparently only live with my dad, who is married (true) but has no children (obviously untrue).

Yeah, the listing on me isn't all that accurate either. Apparently I live with myself as a distinct other individual ^_^ Oh and my ethnic background is also, in there minds, singular =-þ

There are 4 of me in Brooklyn alone. Something like 7 in Queens. Good luck trying to find me. I'm not even listed in VT.
