Spokeo, Inc

The only good thing about Spokeo is that their opt-​out is fast and easy.
This site is a serious hazard to individuals’ privacy and safety. I have no publicly available information/​social media/​telephone listings, use a PO Box, and live in a state that prohibits the commercial sale of voter registration and DMV records… and yet my home address information has popped up on this site several times.
What’s worse: even when you remove your information, it periodically resurfaces. Several other people search websites will flag your name and DOB so that you don’t get re-​added to their public database. Not Spokeo. With them, you have to keep searching their site all the time to ensure that your information hasn’t been listed again.
Spokeo doesn’t seem to have a care in the world for the fact that they’re compromising people’s privacy and potentially risking their lives. Not everyone wants to be found. Some of us are crime survivors, or have fled abusive spouses, or are in professions where we can be harassed if our personal information gets out. Some of us have made every effort to keep our information private and it still ends up here. And if someone’s pulled their information five or six times, as I have, it should be a clue that they DON’T WANT IT LISTED.
There should be a way to flag a person’s name and DOB so that once they opt out, that address and phone number STAY out of Spokeo’s directory.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE, EVER! I paid $.95 to find an address for a phone number that I had to a person who found my lost dog. I did not get an address. The only information that I got was his name and that he uses Verizon. I did not agree to a subscription but I was changed $ 19.95 a couple of weeks later, and $ 19.95 again one month later. I called Spokeo and they «cancelled» my account that I never agreed to, and could ONLY refund me $ 15.96 of the $ 39.90 that they charged me leaving me screwed for $ 23.94! What a RIP OFF!

As I can only state what i experienced with this company here it goes… user beware
Tried this web site to see what it was about and what they had on me if anyone wanted to find me it gave detailed information. Well after paying for that one search i went online as instructed by their customer service line to cancel the membership in May. Well June rolls around and i am charged $ 19.95 again. So i went online again to cancel the membership. Then July rolls around again I charged $ 19.95. So this time i called the company a second time and ignored their suggestions, i want to speak to someone about this. Well finally got a service rep by the name of «Sean»…he was very nice though the whole phone call and canceled my membership that i had been trying to cancel for 3 months. Even with me having proof of the emails I sent to Spokeo canceling my membership «Sean» was only able to refund me $ 16.00 out of the $ 60 the company sucked out of my credit card. I think the founders of Spokeo (Spokeo was founded in 2006 by; Mike Daly, Harrison Tang, Ray Chen, and Eric Liang) need to revamp their web site because the excuse of…“Oh we did not get an email from you saying you want to cancel”… is crap! how is it that I have the proof and very willing to show the company the proof and they say yea so sorry can only give back $ 16 and no don’t show us the proof… yea DO NOT USE THIS SITE AT ALL !!!
