Art got this information from a bunch of his hometown buddies. They have a network that look out for each other which is great. Here's what they wrote him. I've since discovered that both my kids have already removed themselves from this listing. They were way ahead of us. Tif did send us detailed information on how to remove ourselves, but it really wasn't difficult at all.

"This was on KITV this morning. May be a good thing to look into, especially if you have Facebook or something like it.

There's a site called Spokeo.com that's a new online USA phone book with everyone's personal information: everything from pics you've posted on Facebook or any other website anywhere, along with your approximate credit score, home value, income, age, etc. You can remove yourself by first searching for yourself on their site to find the URL on your page. Copy that URL, then hit the Privacy button on the bottom of their page to remove yourself. Check your email after that, click the Click Here button and then wait about 2 minutes and recheck and it should be gone.

I checked and my whole family is listed there, take yourself off the site immediately. You don't want this info falling into the wrong hands. Please forward to friends and family also."

The Privacy button at the bottom right hand side of the page is tiny so put on your glasses to find it. I imagine they don't want everybody removing themselves from their directory. I can't imagine anybody being happy about having so much information accessible to anybody willing to pay a few dollars to get it.
