Here is a sample of what background information can be obtained about you by anyone with only $2.95.

Check your name, home address, phone numbers, cell phone numbers, real estate info, deeds info, neighbors.

At many websites, a comprehensive background search on a person includes:

State Criminal Check
Nationwide Criminal Check
Marital Status
Phone Number(s)
Date of Birth
Address History
Neighbors’ Names
Neighborhood Info
Alias Names
Sex Offender Check
Possible Deceased Records
Relatives and Associates
Property Information
Liens, Bankruptcies, and Judgments

She also provides links for the major people search engines so that you can remove your information from them.

Of course, the information on these sites comes from public sources, so it is still “out there”, but if you have concerns about how easily your “private” information may be found by anyone who decides to look for it, you may want to check this out.
