    I have tried several times to remove my information through their opt out process and it keeps telling me that I they cannot confirm my computer or email or number yet it is there for the public to see. Actually, their site displays years of info which I definitely did not consent to share. This needs to be removed bec it makes me feel unsafe and prone to theft.

    I happened to ****** my phone # recently and I was shocked that right away this website listed my whole home address right in the search results. I've attempted to follow their instructions to have the information removed from their website several times now and nothing was ever removed. This information being so easily accessible has me extremely uneasy and I'm angered and frustrated that even when I try to take the necessary steps to protect myself, this website doesn't hold up to their end of removing the info.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Nothing has been fixed. They're saying that they don't see my information there, however, when I ****** my cell phone #, one of the first search results is my home address from their website. My name is no longer listed in their search results from their website specifically so I can't give "profile" information  they're requesting, but my address and previous residents' names are still attached to my cell phone # if ******d.  I do not want my address and cell phone # linked on their website. Just because my name doesn't populate on their website when doing a search inquiry doesn't mean this situation is rectified. I want my home address to not be listed on ****** when searching my cell phone #. 


    Sincerely,

    This company is displaying all of my person data. Name(misspelled), address, email address, age, relatives. I do not want my information to be given out to anyone with just one or two clicks of their mouse. Please make them remove it immediately. I had contacted them awhile back and they promised to remove it then, but it's all still there. Thank you, ****************************

    The internet site -truepeoplesearch.net- lists my personal information to whole world without my permission. My name, age, telephone number, address and even a map image and link of my neighbourhood are prominently displayed without my consent. I'm extremly concern about my family's safety. People even can request a full background report through this website; this insanely absurd. Eventhough I've requested a removal all my personel information utilizing the steps on the web site, I could not get any result at all. Due to the nature of my profession, I give out many business cards and this website's behaviour is a an obvious treat to my family's safety and privacy. I'm requesting an immediate help to remove all my information from this website and their database, also prevent them sharing any of my information under any circumstances in the future as well. Thank you.

    Please delete all personal information and data referencing my name, address, phone numbers from the TruePeopleSearch.com website. I have followed its instructions to remove the listing, without success. The information is personal and nowhere else on the web other than this site. It is disturbing. In the past week, I have received harassing phone calls and, ultimately today, filed a police report. The police came to the house to confirm and, following the police instructions, I did a web search on my cell phone number - for the first time ever, and was shocked to see all the detail on TruePeopleSearch.com. Thank you, BBB, for being the intermediary.
