    Astounded. found my address, phone number, husbands name and my maiden name within a minute. Oh, and previous employment too. Bummer, I loved those jobs.

    I remember "unlisting" my phone number on google many years ago, I wish I could remember how I did that.

    wow

    I forget the web site but you can look our name up. Tells your name age hubby and his age. Your education level, home value sq footage and your income range. A guy showed it to me 3 yrs ago. Mine was right on!!o_O

    The income is like a range so it says like $80-100k not like $85,400 or anything. Tells number of roms and bedroms and bathrooms!

    Can you tell me why cherry is valuable? There are no cherry trees where I grew up and live. I have seen other posts proud of cherry.

    There are many sites that have the information via public records, facebook, email and even sites you buy from. They sell that info over and over. Its down right creepy!

    The county clerk's office here has a website with all of the public records on it. If you have had a mortgage, a divorce, been sued, or have been arrested it's on there for the whole world to see.

    Yep I can go to the county courthouse and not only see the original sale document for your house but see how much u loaned on it and how much you still owe.
