Hi guppans, i’m not sure if this was done before but for those of yall living in the US (not sure if canada is listed or not) this website stores your personal information from public records, like your address, income, names of siblings, children etc and can sell this info to third parties so that they can solicit you. Also it makes it easier for identity theft. I highly recommend doing a search for you, and your family members and removing yourself from www.spokeo.com.
go here to search for your name:
and here are the steps to remove yourself:

How to Remove Yourself from Spokeo?
To remove yourself from Spokeo, you must first search for yourself
Make sure to use the different search options to find the multiple versions that you may show up
Copy the URLs to a Word document.
Once you have successfully tracked down yourself, visit the Spokeo Privacy page to enter the URL, and your email to confirm that you have been removed
According to Spokeo, the listing will be removed within 1 Business Day**
Also on a side note when using apps on your phone or facebook don’t bother adding any app that has access to your friend’s list, your personal info that you share with fb (gender, age, what not), profile pictures and what not.
people should also understand that by going through this process of searching for yourself, you are actually providing them with these details.
if you do this and you do not find yourself, you have just updated their database with your details.....
I would recommend that you absolutely DO contact them to have yourself removed.
