PSA - protect your identity!

One of my friends posted in her facebook status about a website that where you can look up all personal information on just about anyone. Spokeo.com. I decided to take a chance on the viruses and check it out. It was really scary what they had for me. Thankfully under my old address. My interests and hobbies... scary how much they knew. And some of it I can tell is from my internet habits. Some of it... I have no idea. I'm almost wondering if they have some kind of connection to our electronic messaging systems. I'm not into conspiracy theory nonsense but some of the interests they had on there could only have come from picture texts. Like hunting. I don't have anything on facebook saying I hunt. No pictures on there. Nothing anywhere. Yet it listed hunting and some other outdoor interests. I've texted people pictures of the deer I've shot. That's all I can think of.

Sooo... there's a little privacy button at the bottom right hand of the screen. Click it. Fill it out. You get an email. Click on the link. It will delete your profile. Please do this.
