    I checked and Google has the same thing in their so called white pages. Gives spouses name and ages, hum, no kind of white pages I've seen. I don't know if those are removable. Used one of my daughters name.

    I removed mine off Google's white pages a few years ago. I remove them wherever I can.

    I left my stuff alone.

    I figure the pictures are way wrong, and that phone number has no ringer. It is only there for 911 service.

    LOL I'm afraid of what you want a link to, Tim.

    Here's the instructions for removing info from google white pages, though:

    I'm not on there anymore, but looked up my mom.

    You go to your page, scroll down to the bottom where it has 'Local Information for your area'. Under that, you should see 'Is this you? Remove your listing'. It's an active link. Click on it and follow instructions.

    Thanks for quick response.
    However, upon opening that section I see my name for different sites such as My Life, Classmates and so on.
    I guess at this point those who wanted it already have it and those who are just waking up will start their search for it.

    If so they had to pay and you would probably hear from them. I seen people on those sites I knew long ago but not well enough to pay for except maybe a couple and they never turned up. :(

    I received it in my email, they call themselves, well on second look all it says is Not your grandmas phonebook. I would hope my grandma would have done a better job rolleyes

    As for removing, type in your name then go to privacy, you can remove yourself there.

    Says to enter an email, and go to a page to finish up on the deleting. I am just asking if this is safe place to trust them?

    I think thats the only way to do it, they have some of you info anyway. Oh, I know, set up a email just for that. Like hotmail or gmail, they send something to the email to complete the removal.
    Shut now I think of it :banghead

    Alright thanks. I did a test of one of my family members about the email thing. And it sent an email asking to go to it, to finish the removal. And so I now will remove family I know on it. I just wonder how this site got our info.

    I have no idea whether it's safe or not, I've never seen it before either.
    Well now you might want to look on Google :( pretty much the same thing

    I would imagine any public records, home deeds for one.
