    I received an email from someone I thought I went to school with and it was from Facebook. Wrong move! It gave our computer a serious virus that cost a lot to have repaired. I won't go near Facebook anymore.

    I had three listings, and none of them had accurate info. I wish me and my house were worth so much!

    Nothing there that you cannot find somewhere else on the web. If you click to remove your profile you are just playing into their hands...just tells them that you are really out there. Ignore and for sure, do not pay to see any of the info.

    Any of the information on me on this site was available via public records...Someone spent a lot of time setting up info from multiple sites....

    ....and as another poster noted....I wish I had all their money also! :thumbup:

    the day after my son and ddil bought their new house they were listed. any public info goes right onto these sites. since it's public info, there's not much you can do. what they don't really know, they make up based on what they think is the right average of your neighborhood, etc. my little ranch house is worth over 1 million dollars. and all my pigs fly.

    there are too many sites just like this. you can't track them all down. just stay off facebook, or anything that gives access to personal information.

    oh, and google can drive down your street and show the world a picture of your house and car and entire neighborhood.

    Our news source told us how to get removed from the site.
    Not all my info was correct.
    REMOVED myself and my Sis (no computer for her).
