Read this post if you care about your privacy

Go to this site and type in your name (USA only). You will be shocked.http://www.zabasearch.comIt doesn't matter if you have an unlisted number because companies that collect your information sell it to other companies. This means if you ever fill out anything with your name and address on it, it is likely to end up getting shared with pretty much anybody willing to pay for it. You need to read privacy policies of anybody you do business with.Apparently this is legal. It probably shouldn't. Maybe we ought to write our U.S. Congressperson/Senator about this because I don't like my personal history being available to anybody that wants it. See the following article as well:http://writ.news.findlaw.com/ramasastry/20050512.html

Oooh no, I put in my dad's name and my address came up. What are people gonna do now, come visit me and be like "Hey I found your address on this website... well, bye" ?

don't tell no one ur dad's name. lol

wow, thats weird stuff. I found my dads name in it.

Not everyone is listed, and actually some of the information is wrong, and I'm not listed on there

I didn't even here of that site until I was browsing snopes.com, it's amazing what checking that site can tell you about all sorts of terrorist warnings, product, recalls, chain letters, and scams.The site isn't really much of a threat. The information is often outdated, inaccurate, and a lot of people aren't even listed. The only way to actually retrieve a decent amount of information is to pay a fee and I can't imagine anyone would waste money on something vague and poorly researched.http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/zabasearch.asp

thats just a lil bit scary

So I guess Amanda doesn't have to worry about stalkers finding her...My current address isn't listed, although I wouldn't be surprised to find it there soon.Did you check out the arial maps? They know where you live!

Ready for your own all-new, sinister ID card, courtesy of Homeland Security?It's a tough time to be a libertarian.

that is so 1997, i remember back in high school i used to think that site that shoes u a satellite image of your house was so cool. now it doesnt serve much of a purpose

of course you realise that the Zaba people have your full name nowmwaahahahaI often do a search on my name to see if I come up. Ther are a few pople with the same name as me that are a lot more famous or at least prolific. There are a couple of references to me though. Even some pictures of me and my old car in Carlisle PA.

Ok, WHERE can I find these pictures, the man of mystery thing is going WAY TOO FAR!!!!! *getting a tad peeved* :smile:

I'm not ready for the big reveal yet. but here's a hint...the car was an All Wheel Drive Turbo

I'm with you Angel! I so want to see the man behind the avatar.
If I figure out who you are...do I get a prize? :wink:

I think you know the prize

Ever go to maps.google.com? You can get a satellite photo of anywhere in the U.S. I saw my house being built. Pretty interesting.As for the zabasearch thing, I was a little shocked that there are apparently a lot of people with the same first and last name as me, and mine is rather unusual so I found this interesting.

Two-fifths of a Nobel prize. I.e., No prize.

In reply to:I'm not ready for the big reveal yet. but here's a hint...the car was an All Wheel Drive Turbo Ok was that clue meant to HELP me sigh Delish if we put our heads together we can figure this out surely.........tho I guess that would mean sharing the prize big grin

just because I'm easy doesn't mean that the challenge should be

I think maps.google.com is awesome.. they recently added the satellite pics.. but I was disappointed to see how old the pics were plus you can't really get all taht close even if you zoom in all the way
