Stalker's Paradise (scary)

[BearClaws]

A friend of mine told me about this site...
http://zabbasearch.com
Do a search on your name and state, you can even get aerial photos of your house!
Is this going too far?

2. When I tried my name

I got my address, etc, But when I clicked through to get the aerial shot, I got this page:


TerraServer.com Is Not Affiliated With ZabaSearch
ATTENTION: You have been redirected to this page because we have detected that you have come from ZabaSearch.com. Although ZabaSearch.com did not make this clear, when you clicked the Get Satellite Photo button you were transferred to our website.

TerraServer.com is not affiliated in any way with ZabaSearch, nor does it endorse it. We do not have access to any of the databases that ZabaSearch accesses on their site to display personal information on a person's name, so we cannot remove any of your information. As ZabaSearch says they pull the information for the searches from public domain databases, we have doubts if you can completely remove yourself. We have discovered that e-mailing [e-mail] will get you an automated response with removal instructions. You will have to decide for yourself based on the amount of information you have to give them if you follow through with their removal instructions.

Although most of the data they use already existed out there, what ZabaSearch has done is bring it together in one location on the Internet for free, removing all the legwork someone would have to do in the past. Yes, we do feel that it brings up many, many privacy issues. Plus, their linking to existing mapping tools out there, like TerraServer.com, has made it even more powerful.

It appears that ZabaSearch modified their page on June 11th to link address searches into our address search tool and get a list of search results. This was done after the previous site they linked to requested them to stop. It is done quite transparently that many Internet users do not realize that they have gone to a different website. Because of the misdirected frustration from Internet users directed at us instead of ZabaSearch, we are currently working to get them to cease and desist using our logo and linking to our site. In the meantime, we have "broken" the method ZabaSearch was using to link to us so that address results are not seamlessly displayed and you are taken to this page instead.

TerraServer.com, Inc. is a reputable company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our business is to sell custom selected aerial and satellite imagery and this imagery is browsable on our site at 8 meters and above for free and below that for subscribers. Now that you're here, please feel free to look through our website and do not hold us responsible to the methods used by ZabaSearch.com.

Thank you,

[Dukkha]

5. I found an ex that disappeared 10 years ago

now my revenge is at hand HAHAHAHAHAH! :evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

10. That's why it's scary to me. I disappeared from my ex ten years ago.

Now he can locate me. Fucking scary to me. Talk about PTSD symptoms resurfacing. :scared:

12. me too, Maddy McCall

so much for the underground railroad........................

6. So, I type in my name and get nothing...but my husband's

ex-wife is listed at her current address under his name (she remarried and redivorced)...can she retake my husband's name w/out his permission? He was her second husband and she kept his name after the divorce.

I didn't change my name to his when we got married (I wanted to keep the name my son from my first marriage had) but when my husband adopted my son I legally changed my name to my husband's last name and he had to give his permission (legally) to take his name.

on edit:

The house she lives in now was never owned by my husband, she and husband #3 bought it after their marriage and she bought it from him after their divorce...so why would my husband's name even be affiliated with the property?

7. Driver's License records...

My dad is in there under several addresses, but his birthdate is one year off. He put his DOB as a year earlier on his DL app ti begin driving at 15 in 1948.

8. Same as People Finder.com

If you want real info you have to pay the big bucks--about $40.00 for each person,more for a criminal check.

While this might seem like an invasion people I know that own rentals use these all the time. They want to know if a potential renter is a deadbeat before signing them up.

Most of the free info is nothing more than whats already in the phone book.
