People search sites advertise their ability to find your friends and relatives, but they also allow others to find you. The sites have a range of personal information, not just name and address, but also family members, property records, employment info, and more. These sites are lightly regulated and often scammy. Never pay for their services. You can, however, request that your information be removed for free. The sites BeenVerified, PeopleFinders and US Search have similar processes. You receive a email to verify who you are, then request to opt out.
Key Takeaways:
- People search sites are often scammy; try to avoid them and never pay them.
- At the property site BeenVerified, you can opt-out and remove your data.
- PeopleFinders and US Search also have processes to remove your information.
“You may also have to repeat the process multiple times before your information stops coming up in searches.”
