Just heard about www.zabasearch.com on the radio today. It's up as a beta site during March but the web is due to finalize. You plug in your name and they have the following listed: your birthdate, address and in some cases, phone number, and images (if you have any on the web) for everyone to see (esp. stalkers). I was surprised to see my address as I am supposed to be unlisted in the directory. Also, total strangers can order a background check on a person and get all of their addresses dating back 20 years, their bankruptcy records, liens, information on relatives, friends and neighbors.
This is obviously a case of TMI, and is an irresistable invitation for someone to misuse this information. I've already emailed the owners requesting that they remove the information on me and my mother.

Wow.
Glad they don't have me. I tried all 7 of my legal names and nothing came up.

The free listings surprise me, but the rest can be ordered at countless sites by anyone willing to pay for it.
I've used Intelius myself. ;-) |

They have my present and former address and both my mother's old addresses. I actually plugged in the name of a half-brother who I've never met and it listed his phone number. The fact that they offer your birthdate sets this site apart from others; that is too much of an identifier. And how did they get my new address if I'm unlisted? If someone was after me, they'd have no trouble finding me now. |
