Peek You

Thanks for the Heads-up on PeekYou. I searched both my screen name and real name, and thankfully did not find any profiles posted. I do not like this idea at all!

This could be the internet at it's worst. Sone nut case creates a profile to damage a reputation and the harm is done.

Can't see why I would use this rather than, say, ZoomInfo. Having the profile editable by anyone seems a recipe for destroying any potential value from the outset. Search by country is limited to USA and Canada. Helloooooooooo in there :)

Although I have found an entry for myself on PeekYou, I removed the link to my photo and MySpace profile. It still shows my photo though. There is a reason why my Myspace profile and photos are private and only available to my friends.

I do appear to have a PeekYou profile. I seriously don't like that there is a profile for me on a website that I have never visited (even though the information is in error). I couldn't find an "opt-out". Do you know of one?

EDITOR'S NOTE: No, my best suggestion is to edit the profile and delete or obscure as much as possible.

I tried registering with their site and received error messages from the server: mysql_connect() Access denied for user 'peekyou_all'@'sql1.peekyou.com' (using password: NO) in /home/peekyou/write_connect.inc on line 2.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This happens often with database driven sites.

I spent 10 minutes trying to edit my profile as I am married not single. I could not find a place to do it. Also tried to edit the info in my space, couldn't find that either as peekyou links to my space. figure?

Apparently there are only 11 people living in Canada!

EDITOR'S NOTE: It's odd, but you have to drill down to the city level to see more profiles. Toronto shows 21000+ profiles.

OMgaawwd, peekyou is definately looking to get the crap sued out of them. They have a part where it states that if you want your info removed to " ' please feel free to contact us" ', but then if you try to do so, they have something going that actually prevents it! If you send an email to privacy@peekyou.com, don't expect a reply because THEY NEVER WILL!
I plan on filing something against them for refusing to contact me in return no matter how many times I have contacted them with the dire straights of my situation and the urgency of removing my personal info from their site. I don't think we're going to be seeing this website for very much longer folks! Yay!

This website is insane. We just discovered it. I plan on filing suit against them as well if I do not receive a response within 24 hours and have the profile removed. This is a complete abuse of privacy and a complete fraud as well because you cannot contact them, change the profile, get in under a new profile, or anything. I not only plan to file a lawsuit but also talk to the authorities about any possible criminal charges as well. My myspace profile is private for a reason!
