Remove Phone Listing - Comments Page 2

I am no longer providing escort service. When a Yahoo Web search is done for XXX-678-103X the below search results appear. It is urgent that you remove the website associated with the Outdated Ads, Telephone numbers, search results, Cached, etc. results. Google has advised me that the site owner must remove it before google can delete it from their index.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It's not urgent for me. I don't control any of those sites. You'll need to contact Yahoo, or the owners of each site where your listing appears and ask THEM to remove it.

Thanks so much for all this info. I didn't realize that my name and phone number was all over the internet!

Well, I'm going to fix all of this tomorrow.

Thanks again...

people keeping getting my number off the internet and calling for my daughter, and she is too young to date. so people could you remove all records of my name, address, and number off the web.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You're barking up the wrong tree. The "people" you need to contact are not reading this forum. My advice: get an unlisted number.

I used Opt Out Detectives they provide pre-written letters to all the companies that require written opt out request's along with your info to get me off the list's. It's worked great! thanks for the help!

i want to remove my phone no on the google web page.

EDITOR'S NOTE: So you visited the link I provided for that right? And what happened?

I just want to say.Tonight after several hours due due a wrong number calling me,i happened to find all my info on the web,and because of your web site i was able to remove all my info per every web site that you listed.thank you so much..

Thanks for the guide; the Yahoo page has since changed, it just redirects to a generic search page. Everything else worked great, thanks for putting this together.

hi

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree. I suggest you read the article on which you have commented.

after hours of trying to figure out how to get my private info off line,i came to this site after finding me on line..oh my gosh i was all over the internet.. first i want to add for people on this page that are saying they are un able to remove info.. its not very difficult .. heres a hint .. do a research on your self ..on all the links that bob shows ... and make sure your at your listing..you have to click on your info and then at bottom of page it says remove info or remove link.. a thank you to bob

ok heres what puzzels me. i put a comment on your web site and i used my first and last name like your site says,but guess what i do a google search and i find my self online.. right to this web site..please since this is your doing.. remove my name from your web site.. you may post what i say,but dont use my first and last name for google search.. for privacy reasons .. thank you

EDITOR'S NOTE: I can't see why that puzzles you. If you post to an online forum, and give your full name, you should expect that it will be published (just like with a letter to the newspaper editor) -- and that a Google search would find it. I will modify your name for this and the other posting you made, but you'll have to use initials or a fake name in the future.

What troubles me is how this editor thinks the good outweighs the bad. He's naive.

EDITOR'S NOTE: What troubles me is people who make judgments based on opinion.

My concern about being publicly listed is that I have lately been getting mail for other people who share my name regarding very important things e.g. student loans that aren't actually mine because some companies seem to do a national "sweep" of the name they are looking for when the original contact info they have is deemed invalid. I've gone ahead and requested that my info be removed from the sites you listed, but since you mentioned that phone directies update their databases quarterly, I take it thst removing my contact info will be an ongoing process unless I get a new, unlisted number. Correct?

How can I ensure that my address is not online anywhere? My job is a little bit shady and I do not want anyone to be able to locate me via my name.

Someone has posted my number on the internet as a girl's number and I am fed up with the calls ive been recieving, please help me out by explaining how to delete my number from there. Thanx ...

Thanks for all the sites I need to visit to get my info removed. I'll get on to that today.

I have always had an unlisted number and it is online and attached to my name and address. I think companies I buy from must sell the information.

Sending an email to webmaster@switchboard.com bounces back. Apparently that doesn't work.

Lots of these sites you have to pay to see your phone listing in their database.

In other words, you have to register on the site that has the listing for your phone number. Then you do the search for your phone number, then look for the edit/remove if it's there to delete that phone number.

Some sites will have you opt-out or fax that information to them.

I went through all of this removing my address from the internet. Now I have to go through all this again to remove my cell phone number from the internet.

Ok, this info is useful, BUT... The very act of typing in your name, address, and/or phone number is going to LINK YOU via your I.P. Number and ISP service to all this info, so you are only giving away MORE info every time you try to OPT OUT of these snoop services. Further, many of the services, like zabasearch.com and ancestry.com and reunion.com, etc., will DEMAND even MORE info from you before they will "consider" removing your private information that they've harvested without your permission or knowledge and are providing to others, for a fee, or for free. Many want a copy of your driver license! (i.e., now they have your likeness in their databases too). Some will demand copies of your birth certificate or marriage license! Their gall is unlimited.

There have to be more LAWS & PENALTIES for violating our privacy before any of this will be effective--not too likely, given that powerful lobbyists are who drives this constant eroding of our privacy in America.

PS It helps to mention "lawsuit" when you contact the snoops and demand that they remove your info... Good luck.

P.S. Thanks for the nice Confirmation page to let us know our comment was received.

P.P.S. Ancestry.com actually indexes and makes public people's DIVORCE records on their site, and it's searchable via google. This goes beyond the pale and should be illegal. That kind of stalking is not what "public records" were ever intended for. In this internet age, it is way too easy to violate people's privacy and boundaries, jeopardizing their security and peace of mind.

I have a new phone with a re-cycled number. The company that had the number is no longer in business. Their ads are still everywhere on the net and I am getting inundated with calls for this business. I went to the appropriate site on Google to delete the number and an error message keeps coming up stating url not on this server. I have tried computers at work, home, and friends. Same message. You even do reverse directory and the business comes up. PLEASE HELP ME!
