Remove Phone Listing - Comments Page 2

I am begining the long process of removing my info from the net. an wondering if there is a list similar to the do not call list for telemarketers? I was suprised when a listing had all my info, I am now in the process of obtaining a p.o box as well so all my mail goes there.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you mean a "do not email" registry, there is no such thing on a national level in the USA. Some states have attempted this, but even the FTC says it's not a feasible idea.

Thanks, Bob, for an invaluable resource. There is yet another directory website that lists my private info, but I don't see it on your how-to-remove list. That one is:
People Lookup. I would really appreciate knowing how to get my info off of there, too.

EDITOR'S NOTE: People Lookup is not a phone directory site. It's a paid service to provide more detailed information such as background checks, criminal records, real estate records, etc. You can't remove your info from this service, because they pull from a variety of public and gov't databases.

Bob, Wow. You've done such a public service, and for FREE! Thank you so much for helping me thru the maze. I can't believe I'm EVERYWHERE and its very upsetting as a single mom. Its going to take a while to get me removed from all of these places as I'm now finding out its no easy task. I've put you in my favorites. Please update when needed so I can keep 'removing' myself.

There is another search site called freeality.com This site gives multiple ways to find information. I haven't used all of them, so I don't know if they are connected to the sites you've already mentioned.

Is there really a way you can manually remove your phone number from an automated calling system by pressing the # or * key continuously? I was told that many automated calling services call your number and record the time that a number is answered so the telemarketer can call again (in person) during that time.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I doubt that's true... if so it would be too easy to get off those lists.

A BIG Thank You! I have been trying to delete these listings and it's frustrating! You have been so helpful. Also, Thanks for the update on Infospace. I was having a heck of a time deleting my post until I saw your opt out link. One question. If Identity theft is so popular, why is it that the Internet makes it so easy to gain access to our homes and telephones? I understand it's "public" information, but I think if someone wants to find you, they should have to go to the local county court. Why are they making it so easy? I have also signed up for your newsletter and look forward to more of your ideas!
Thanks!!

Hi..Can you tell us an easier way to remove our listing from Intelius, other than faxing them?
Thanks!

could i filter do not call list numbers from any directory or please suggest me a directory that is without do dnc.

I have the problem with phone book in my nokia 6300.
I cant delete phone records at once, i will be happy if u help me how to unprotect it.

I am not able to remove my name from the optout options on switchboard or infospace. It keeps telling me that my criteria doesn't match their records even thought I copied exactly as it appears. Any suggestions? Thanks.
