your personal info on the net


Beginning in May '05 a new database became available to the general public, free of charge, that displays your personal information names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates).
The database is found at ZabaSearch - Free People Search Engine Check to see if your name and information is in their database. If so, and you want it removed, send them an e-mail atinfo@zabasearch.com to request it be removed.
I do not know how our names are appearing there, but I checked my own and a few other random ones, and they are all in this database!
I urge you to forward this alert to family and friends

Re: your personal info on the net


Funny thing....

I'm there but the address is not mine and I have never lived at that address. There is no more information available there without paying a fee than there is in any local telephone book. If someone wants the information bad enough to pay a fee to get it that isn't the only fee-based information available on the Internet. I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone that knows how can easily get their hands on a Consumer Report from any of three major reporting agencies and even then there isn't much info there either without paying an additional fee. The most anyone could hope to find out is if I pay my two American Express credit card accounts on time or not. I don't, never have, it's a wonder I even have all the credit cards I do, amazes me.

If someone wants to know about my many felonious convictions and my years in prison and all of my bankruptcies and aliases all they have to do is ask me.

I'm not worried about that crap.

Re: your personal info on the net


I notice when I type in my name, there is a "message" area............... That's new from the last time I visited. I guess an old long lost high school flame could type in your name and leave a message there in hopes that you would some day look up your own name and discover the message....................... but I suppose a spammer, hacker, or 'evildoer', could do the same thing.
Nope..... I see that none of you guys have left any messages there for me.
