In case you are trying to hide!!!!! ZABASEARCH

Actually not that disturbing...

The information on this site is all public record - specifically based off of your past telephone public listings... AKA - if you were listed in your phone book when you lived at the address(es) - you will show up here...

If you ever had a phone number that was NL (non listed) you will not find yourself here for that specific number/address.

I noticed I had 5 of my past houses listed - all of which were in the phone book at one time or another... The last 3 houses - are not listed in this - due to the fact that I did not list my number.

What they do is keep a history of past phone listings - thus if you have moved - they still will have it.

The birth year information on this site - is bogus - mine was wrong on all but 1 of the listings... Which at one time the phone company or other public source probably collected this info.

Not really anything to worry about - unless you have a stocker that didn't know your address - but now does...

Being in the High tech industry - this does not scare me as much as how just 10 years ago (or maybe less) - we used SSN# for our primary means of identification - do you remember how many times and places asked for SSN# for identification - and who still has it...

scary

 

Yup, you're ok if your phone number is unlisted. Otherwise someone can map a route right to your front door.

Interestingly, this does not have some individuals who can be found on people.yahoo.com...if you get multiple entries, simply cross reference with the wife's name. Voila!

 

I didn't list my birth date in the phone book!

 

Yes, but it's sitting there on your kitchen table and it heard your family wishing you happy birthday--that's how it knew. Then it just called up headquarters and updated your record for you.

 

I don't have a home phone, only a cell phone and I'm not listed in any books and my info is there except for my cell phone number. Who cares though, not me.
But it does make me wonder how they got the info since it's not from the phone book.

 

Sale of mailing lists by mail order companies, credit bureaus, real estate sale records, police records, etc.

Mostly it's from mail order companies and the companies that exist to serve their needs for good mailing lists.

 

The scary thing is, my old best friend is listed under my address on Zabasearch . My auto insurance agent also told me he was listed under my address in the DPS(Department of Public Safty) records. I received a couple of warrants for his arrest a couple af years ago and just put them back in the mailbox. He must have had a drivers license issued under my address. I wish I knew where he really lives...I haven't seen him in several years.

 

I'm not listed on Zabasearch, but I am on people.yahoo interestingly enough.

My home phone comes up as "Unavailable ID" whenever I call someone and Mapquest, etc can't find my house because the zip code I use is actually different from the city I live in. It's not impossible to track me down, but it would take more research than usual.

They don't have me - good. But all the links are dead... i searched all of Georgia for a "Carbon McCoy" and some guy named Stewart Carbon came up... i tried to click on the links for him but nothing happened... Same thing with all the other links...

 

Yahoo has an option to remove your listing. If you aren't a member of yahoo and you are still listed, contact them and request that they remove it. Yahoo should do it.
I'm not listed on Yahoo's email list even though I created a listing two weeks ago. I don't understand it.

 

I didn't have to click on the link to see his address and his phone number. The only link that doesn't work for me is the Satelite images but, I can just use google maps for that.

 

I'm in there, but the information is not correct. One of the listings says I was born in 1946. Yeah right.

 

Erik, it says that because, with the software they're using, 1946 was the earliest year the program would allow them to select...

 

Wow, I found 2 of my old adresses from about 6 years ago. Also 3 ex-girl friends & a person that I have a lien against.

 

Garbage in, garbage out.

 

I have zero debt, so I'm not worried about collectors. However, what can a person do to get rid of as much of their info as they can, if not all of it. With the way identity theft is these days what can be done? Since you're in the biz, what do you recommend?

 

The only way is to become anonymous. That would mean pretty much totally disappearing off the radar. A lot of work. There's books and net stuff on it. Not really worth it if you don't have anything to hide.

 

hope all these s+++heads - and that's what they are - are put out of business

 

No thats not what I mean.

What I'm talking about is getting rid of all the info people can get about your finances. Like I HATE when I have refinance in the past, and then all of a suddent I get bombarded with all these letters asking me to refinace. "No idiots, I just did". It really is a pain in the neck. I have been able to stop the solicitation calls, thank's to the new law, but what about the rest. The credit card offers I have gotten to slow down. I just don't like the idea of my personal info being out there for any jokers to get a hold of.

 

One thing you can do:
Keep a mailbox and don't receive mail at home--just chuck all the junk that comes without even looking at it, because all the important stuff comes to the mailbox. Friends and family might send you cards though...you will just have to deal with that.

When you refi, rent a different mailbox at a different location, and use that address throughout the transaction. After it's done, cancel that mailbox. Now, if you get solicited at your existing mailbox, you will know who "leaked" your address. And you can always switch again.

I don't do this...just a thought I had. YMMV.

 

Just in case you were wondering how hard it is get info on anybody...try this
The Google earth the address.....Oh boy!!!Have fun
