I don't have time to write a full article myself on this, but I found a great one that everyone should read ASAP! Here'sthe article, and it's incredibly scary!
I went to the website myself, and found my name listed, with links provided so that anyone who wanted to could purchase a background check on me for $20. The site is zabasearch.com, and it is an enormous invasion of privacy. In addition, in order to get your name and information removed, you have to send them a letter by snail mail. I'm going to do it, but I'm also going to send them an email, and see about informing whomever I can to try and get this site shut down. If I hadn't stumbled across this site described on a posting board somewhere, I never would have known about it. Ironically, if I search for my name on Google, I don't even get results informing me that my name is on this site. So, they have your info for sale, they don't notify you, and they are obviously purposely blocking you from finding out that they have your info!! I advise you to break the silence, and quickly. Tell your friends, have them tell their friends, etc. Tell family members, post it on your blog, posting boards, wherever you can post (as long as you're not spamming!) This is a scary, 1984-ish development, and should NOT be allowed to continue!!!
Again, here is the link to the full article, and a link to the site itself!
Knowledge is power.
