Privacy Alert



There's a site called http://spokeo.com/ that's a new online USA phone book with personal information: everything from pics you've posted on FB or web, your approx credit score, address and home value, income, age, etc. Obviously if you join, you have access to more information!?!

However, anyone can access part of this site for free, and if you have personal information on the web, it can be seen. Please go log into this site and search yourself, you will find that you can have pictures of yourself on the site, home address, phone number, financial information, and possible credit score!?!

The good news is, there is a way to remove yourself. You need to search your name, find the URL of your page and copy it, then go to the bottom right corner of the page and click on the Privacy button and paster the URL in the box to remove yourself!?!

(It's below the "Registry Defender Ad)

Contact me if you need assistance with this!?!

Today I am thankful for friends who keep me update on things that may miss out on!?!
