...and the name is Billy Bob Thornton. That can't be real. :shhh:

-Trevor

Nothing on me either

People with records that show up on places like that should really be careful with what they share on the internet.

I checked myself out. It doesn't have very much at all for me, and the data it does have is really old. :yabbem:
Oh well.

So lets think about this for a second. Assuming that it is a real email address, and it is obvious that the person posting it wants it concealed (granted that they didn't do a very good job of concealing it), what purpose does it serve you to post the email address and laugh about it?

The only reason I can think of is to be a dick, so there's an incoming neg rep with your name in it! Enjoy!

I went to this site a couple of weeks ago, and it did have info on me.

My wife sent me a link to remove ourselves from that site about 2 weeks ago.. Prior to that it did have quite a bit of info on both of us. Now there is nothing. Data mining is at an all time high, so the more a person uses the internet, the more data is gleaned.

-rep for a joke, yeah thanks. the email that I posted finded nothing in spokeo, so it isn't his real email.
and man damn.. look the pic link.. it is from spokeo blog. probably it is a example picture not a real person page...
as he said, "This is what the results look like:", if it was his page, it would be unregistered (it is a paid service), hence having no button saying "follow this person", and if it was his page he would say "This is what MY results look like:".

Think more about it when you -neg someone. If I was a dick as you said, sorry but thats the off topic, the place where we can stop talking about lasers and talk about anything.. make jokes (like I did) etc..

sorry if I offended you anyways.

I neg repped you because whether or not the email is real or fake is irrelevant. If someone blurs something out for whatever reason it's not up to you to counter that request for privacy. Posting private information publicly just because you can or because you think it's "funny" is a bad idea because it serves no purpose other than malice.

Oh, and my real email gets nothing back if you search for it on Spokeo either. That is not an indicator of whether the information is real or not.

yeah, I just don't see a reason why HE would hide his email if he is posting a system that reveals personal information using the email. I just tried it and seemed a fake pic (found different results than the embed pic that he posted), so I posted the real email so anyone can test and make their own decisions if this thread was spam or not. it is just wrong to -neg someone that had 30 rep points when you have 20000+ rep points.

I'll not post here anymore to prevent a fight/hijacking of thread.

It has me listed at two places I have lived. I haven't lived at one of them for almost 9 years and the other for 12 years. All they have is the address at both places.
