It's no different than many other data mining sites. For a fee you can get anything on anyone. That site is not special.

There are 51 of me in Colorado alone. There is one that is "me" with my address and phone number, but all the images are wrong.
I'm not gonna lose any sleep.

I found myself (and my parents). Much of the information is fairly inaccurate.

I'm surprised at the amount of correct information, but also the amount of incorrect info! About 50/50

I think pipl.com is much, much better. Not as easy to use, but definitely more accurate and more free info.

Everything they have is public record. There is no such thing as privacy anymore.

Get off my lawn!

Yea, I saw that site last week. My house is valued at well over a million. If someone offered me that much I would only ask if I could keep the wife & dogs. They can have everything else.

Their info on me is inaccurate, outdated and wrong.
Other than that, it's pretty close!
