I performed a vanity search a minute ago, to see how easy it was to link a username to my real identity, and I came across "mylife.com", which showed my name, town, age, and my immediate family's names and ages. If I wanted to remove my information on line, I had to create an acocunt and gice them more information. Great. so I called them on the telephone.
They quickly removed my information with a minimum of additional information, they only verified my previous address (!).
Then the kicker. The nice woman on the telephone informed me about all the places with public information on the web, and how difficult it would be to call them all. On the other hand, there was a great service called "Safe Shepherd" which would make all those telephone calls for me for only $60 per year!
Such a deal! Racket? Scam? whatever. sheesh. what will they think of next?
According to Wikipedia they have a free service too - wonder why the nice young lady didn't mention that?
