Mine is super low, too. The only cases of my full name being mentioned on the 'net are in online articles of my parent's obits. I have a fairly unusual last name, but even with that being the case, I am mike mylastname #9 on Facebook. (which I wouldn't use except to keep up w/ old online friends and classmates and my younger kinfolk. My friends list has 64 names on it, with some being local businesses) I'm not the only one on the 'net to use mikeintexas as a nickname, either. There's also a cop,... [ More ]

All one has to do is say No .

The wife is going for breast augmentation- she needs $12,000- NO!

When people hear you said YES - more of them come out of the woodwork- but if you controlling your own destiny with No , they will get the message sooner or later and leave you alone.

Ok, then maybe trying to add bad info to it would be better

This is why you claim via a blind trust. Or you could change your name to a more common one (look through your towns white pages to see the most common). You could live with that name for a year or so and then change it back to your old name. With your new name you could have everything sent to a PO Box, that way nothing could be linked to your old name or home address/phone. This would be especially useful in those states that don't require pictures to be taken (like Texas, which allows minimal... [ More ]

Sounds like if you are afraid of publicity why even bother playing a Nationwide Lottery game, if you were to win BIG you can always Move.

Yes, it's possible.

UPS Store address is not a P.O. Box, it looks just like a regular address.

I've had that UPS Store address since 1998, they were called Mail Box Etc back then.

Whatever paperwork I fill out that's the address I use, been doing it for years.

I find myself thinking if I won a major jackpot, I would be looking around when I go out to feed my pond fish early in the morning before work, etc. (thought it this morning). Sometimes I creep myself out..lol.

On PeepDB.com, I get my full name, address, and phone number by simply clicking on Get Uncensored Listing Link .

I requested removal about a week ago and it is still up. I wonder if anyone even works at that place.

Here is how they tell you to remove it from PeepDB.com:

To request removal from the PeepDB directory, navigate to the listing you would like removed and click on the Get Uncensored Listing link. Scroll to the bottom of the Full Listing page and click on the Remov... [ More ]

LottoNick56 — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 21:25:44 GMT

Perhaps for you it would be a guessing game. But remember, there are people out there crazy enough to spend the time guessing until they bother the hell out of you with requests for money. They will show up at every address if they must. My results are quite accurate. There is SOMETIMES a limit to the results but enough for them to get your home address and phone number from most every site for free. Plus, if the lottery announces where you have won, it makes it much easier for them to weed thro... [ More ]

My name is rather distinct as well (it's a French name) and I have little to no info on the

internet as is. Most of the sites that come up when I Google are in french lol

I've had my address from the UPS Store listed as my home address, since I order

from ebay ect.. and have the packages sent there, that address is even on my drivers

license.

Bottom line is I'm not worried about winning the Big One and people learning about me

it won't be much anyway.

I also left Facebook quite a while back for the same reasons you have stated, the pointless garbage some people spew onto the internet as if others care. I understand it is not entirely possible to completely remove one's self from every electronic document, that isn't what I am recommending here. I am simply showing that there are privately owned databases that collect information from linkedin, facebook, they buy it from companies when you sign up for stuff, etc and they create their own searc...

LottoNick56,

thanks for that, but could you tell me where you found info for free.

I goggled my own name and found that they had basic info, but required a payment of some kind to go any further.

One site had my name and showed I have lived in 5 different towns in the past, 3 of those towns were wrong,

one of the incorrect towns is also on my credit report, so I guess that's one of their sources,

the other 2 towns are in states I never lived in.

Meanwhile 4 other states I've li... [ More ]

Whenever I google people I know, usually their Facebook profile comes up on the first results page. That is one of the reasons I left FB in May 2012 and have not looked back. I also got tired of reading updates such as oh I'm at CVS, woop woop! or Just about to take a bath, anybody wanna join me? o_O

Anyways trying to be completely anonymous in this interconnected era is an exercise at futility. You would have to not own a car, pay all your bills in cash and have to use someone elses name to... [ More ]

Thanks, but I've already carefully planned ahead for when I win. If you google my real name, Gregory Harrison, all you would find is my facebook account. It has no picutres, no real birthdays, no addresses, and no family connections. And I have no picutres of myself uploaded to any other websites that could be floating around in cyber sapce. Also I've never been arrested or got into trouble with the police that would require it to be public info. Plus I would probably change my real name in case... [ More ]

I've read stuff about people that would make me want to avoid them. Maybe I would put some similar stuff about me out there if I ever won a lottery jackpot.

So you want to win the lottery, huh? Think once you win that you'll have it all figured out. How and when to collect the money, what people to get in touch with, etc? But what about your privacy? If you have a unique name, with a simple Google search, people can find out loads of information about you from you address, phone number, age, relatives' names, photo and satellite imagery of your current residence, and even things such as prior arrests and divorces. I have a very unique name and I hav... [ More ]
