Thanks for letting us know how to take it off, they do have a catch though. Only 2 listings can be taken off per email address and only 4 listings on a same name can be taken off per day. So if you have 3 listings on your name and only one email address, your screwed.
I am listed five times and each time I tried this I received the pop that said In order to prevent abuse, we must limit blah, blah, blah... I did not receive any confirmations in my email so I know it didn't go through. What else can I try?? I hate these types of websites. I guess I will get another email address and try it with that. Grrr...
I have like three profiles on spokeo was able to cancel 2 but on the third i received this message....(*In order to prevent abuse, we must limit the number of privacy requests per email address. Government officials please use your @.gov email address for priority processing.*)
Thanks for posting these directions! I deleted myself from the Spokeo last year. When I checked back today, I was listed 4 times. If anyone deleted themselves earlier, they better go back and check that they are still not on there. Thanks again!!!
Spokeo is so screwed up! Both my husband and I removed our listings about a month ago. I decided to check it again tonight to make sure we're still not on there. I'm not on there anymore, but now when I do a search for my husband's name, it comes up with his old address that he hasn't lived at in almost 11 years! It even shows his old phone number from when he lived there! How would Spokeo find an address he hasn't lived at since the year 2000?!?! It's where he lived when we first met!
these sites should just be made illegal. why wait until things crash and burn too much? people are too weirded out these days and are more stalkers. some sites get taken down by the law.
oh my gosh! thank you so much. I had no idea my information was out there.. and scary enough not only did it give my phone number, address, and family member names, and much else.. it had a picture of where i lived. what is wrong with people to think this is ok to do?
Even though you added an annotation to censor out the number, the viewer can just close it, & still see what's behind it. x) Just thought i'd let ya know.
@MissLoveTantei91 Im not actually sure, I only used my name to look up my info. Please post in comments if you find you're able to locate your identity also with email and screen name after you remove your ID by name ok?

@LAZERBEEMofTRUTH Actually, my real name is nowhere on the site. I've removed a couple emails already, but I can't figure out how to remove screen names. :/ Ah well.
Yo, thanks man that site is very dangerous.Somebody could be on the witness protection program from a crazy lover or etc.. & the crazy person or somebody in their family could instantly find them.I think sites like this should be shut down man. here is a link to lots of sites like that h t t p : // mashable.com/ 2007/10/23/social-networking-god/

@ProfDeth Pretty much as soon as I clicked on the confirmation link that was sent to my email, that ID was removed from the directory. Again I had to do it 4 different times, and once you do it twice they say "sorry but this email has been used all ready".. hope that helps.

@kevynjacobs Perhaps you can create a temporary email address to use to get your info removed, and then delete the email address?

Be aware that if you have multiple listings, which I did, you can only remove 2 w/ an email, then you must use another email to remove the rest.
