I was shocked to find my blockshopper.com "news story" today. It contains links between a home purchase, and a linked in profile - which as far as I'm concerned is not a properly "informed join" of information. I've emailed them saying I am not the homeowner, we'll see what they come back with. To me - they have no proof that that linkedIn user, owns that home. The only data they have is name, and city information to create that association.
Hi. I googled myself and found "front and center" my name associated with the purchase of my home, my address, taxes, purchase price and all details regarding the sale. I was blown away and emailed scarlett simpson (scarlett@blockshoppers.com) on 4/11/2010 to please take my name and personal information off their website. On 4/12/2010, her entire reply is below:
"BlockShopper publishes public records. Property ownership and sales information is listed publicly in multiple places on the internet and in other publications. We get our data from the county-- it is the public record. It's our goal to be accurate and consistent, so we don't simply edit the public record on any request. "
Basically they are advertising on their website a homeowner can opt out, however, in private email responses to homeowners who request this, blockshoppers.com is denying the request in writing as of 4/12/2010 using the explanation that it is all public information so they have the right to post it on their site. Where can I sign up for a class action lawsuit?
Where does Scarlet Simpson live, where did she go to school, who is she married to, what property does she own, does she have kids - what are their names, what is her husbands name,what are her parents and relatives names, does she have a criminal background, what is her credit rating, tel#?, email address?
I doubt that scarlett simpson is using her real name. I contacted blockshopper and also got the same canned response. I wrote to the county where my records were harvested and they said they provide them through the freedom of information act. Does the freedom of information act say that they have to post my name on their county website? Seriously this is just wrong.
This "blockshopper" is the ONLY website that has refused to remove my RESIDENTIAL address. My son has a racist stalking him. If the stalker harms my son or kills him (as the stalker said) - then www.blockshoper.com is going to be on accomplish stand. I reported them to FBI and also police. This is very very scary for my child - that the bully who is harming him knows OUR ADDRESS. We wrote to these low I.Q. "block-shopper" from Nazi Israel but they keep publishing our address to the ENEMY. May the CURSE of the Powers of The Globe be on this abuser named BLOCK-SHOPPER owned by the DEVIL.
There is NO opt out with Blockshopper. This link takes you to their site telling you they don't give a shit.
