Will not remove personal information about myself without paying first.
ID Theft, stalkers, etc
Ronnie of New York NY (04/25/08)
they list no address or phone to contact them. i wish to opt out of their site. they list my name, dob, address, phone # everything that violates the freedom to privacy act.
i have written letters to peoplefinders.com many times, spoken with Intelius.com personally and was assured this matter was addressed. They now want me to send my credit card # to them with a payment to opt out. Is this legal.
Lisa of Woodland Hills CA (04/08/08)
Information about me, which I have never listed anywhere is on ZABASEARCH. I deliberately have no address in the phone book. They have my name listed numerous times and to delete any information I have to pay each time my name or former name is listed. I find this extremely violative and this provides anyone with information as to where I live and my home phone. Is there anyway I can have this information removed without having to pay $20.00 each time they list it. Thank you for your help
I just want all information about myself removed from ZABASEARCH
Debbie of Guyton GA (04/07/08)
i would like my name, address,birthday and any other information about me removed from this site please.
invasion of privacy
Vanessa of Salem OR (04/05/08)
They have all your information listed for all to see! i Can't find a single link to contact them...unless I want to pay $20 for a bunch of jumbled info. Some links are part my stuff and some, part someone else's. And on top of that, The Domestic Violence program in Salem paid $1000 to move me and my kids into a new, secret place and then Zaba posts it on the internet. Thanks Zaba! Now I have to move and 'apparently' lie about my address. Can someone please get me the current address and Phone# for Zaba so I can begin listing it as my own!
Delia of Cambridge MA (03/30/08)
Zabasearch is listing birthdates, past addresses, and other private information then requesting $20 to take your information off. In an age of identity theft, this is absolutely ridiculous. I've just survived one bout with identity theft & Zabasearch is making it ridiculously easy for identity thieves
Alicia of New York NY (02/20/08)
Zabasearch now has a new ploy...they will display your personal information (unlisted phone #s, etc.) forever, unless you pay a ransom of $20. Once you give them a credit card # they remove your data for (they promise) a period of 2 years. How can this be legal?
Lelaine of Howell NJ (01/29/08)
When searching my name, friends and family found very degrading and derogatory message left for me. From name unknown. Just google my name Zaba search will come up and my name. I don't know how to contact Zaba search, I just want the message removed.
There is no physical damage, just complete humiliation. I do teach younger children at a martial arts school and encourage them to be good role models and to do the right thing then have my name come up under the school then immediately after comes this Zaba search for the world to see. Who is this person and why is it ok to leave a public message for the world to see that is so crude? They used Zaba search to run my name and reputation through the gutter.
Leah of Williamsburg VA (01/14/08)
They Will never take my name off data searches. It causes me great anxiety. I am not a criminal - I just want my privacy.
My name and personal information and the cavalier attitude about removing my name and personal information from these sites has caused me anxiety to the point that I have to be on anti-anxiety medicine. I am a private person. I can't even have that anymore.
Priscilla of Vancouver WA (12/30/07)
I have been unable to remove my personal information from the website zabasearch.com.
This is identity theft.
Cheryl of Chicago IL (11/26/07)
A stalker\harasser is posting untrue messages on Zabasearch about me and I am not able to get them removed. I have contacted Zabasearch and left phone messages and sent certified letters with all my information and the postings which should be removed. I'm in fear for my safety and these postings just make life tougher. The legal system has proven to be ineffective. It should not be allowable for Zabasearch to publish anything they wish onto the internet.
I'm afraid for my personal safety. The message postings have cost me a job!
Adrienne of New York NY (11/05/07)
I was shocked to find all my personal information listed on this website. We are constantly warned about identity theft, but how can it be prevented when anybody can publish our public records. This is outrageous and dangerous.
C of Chicago IL (11/02/07)
Crazy people are posting slander on ZabaSearch.com, the internet, about me. I've called, emailed and sent numerous requests to ZabaSearch\PeopleData without any response from them. This should be illegal
Slanderous emails of a crazy person are preventing change of employment.
Carolyn of Wintersville OH (11/01/07)
My personal information was stolen from my college's database by Zaba.com. I do not want my personal information available to everyone with access to the internet. I've placed a fraud alert on my credit, but it appears that hasn't stopped the thieves either--as I have flunked my own personal history questionnaire when applying for credit.
I cannot obtain credit at some establishments, and I now have an inaccurate credit background/history through Equifax, etc.
Ana Fernandez of Chicago IL (10/26/07)
I and my husband have been very careful with having our personal information being public. I have unlisted my phone number and home address and this zaba search website has everything listed. I should be the one to decide who should or should not have my PERSONAL information. What can we do to get our privacy back.
I have dealt with threats from previous situation and I am fearing for my safety because my information is out in the open for Gid forbid something to happen! HOW CAN I STOP ZABA AND REMOVE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!!!
Shirley of Albany GA (09/27/07)
I have written ten letters to Zabasearch.com and no one has removed my information from the search engine. I have also sent many emails, but I have still not received a response.
Jeanne of East Lyme CT (07/12/07)
I do not want my personal information ready available to the public. I have emailed this company five times to delete/remove my information and have sent a written notice twice. I have yet to hear from them or see my information removed. This is an invasion of privacy. I pay my phone company to keep my number unlisted and here it is listed on the internet.
Rhonda of Raleigh NC (06/20/07)
I saw my name on the Zaba site. I am angry that my personal information is being displayed. I was a victim of identity theft and I thought that I had taken the necessary measures to protect myself. I've placed my name on do not call list and websites but Zaba has published my information anyway.
Lois of Stillwater OK (04/19/07)
I have repeatedly requested my name and all personal information be removed from the Zabasearch database. As of this date, all information is still available. I have written two letters to Oklahoma's Attorney General Drew Edmondson, as well as one letter to Oklahoma's Governor Brad Henry. I have received no reply from either of these offices. It appears that no one wants to address this issue of privacy invasion. The action of Zabasearch, and all other websites offering personal information, leaves the door wide open for identity theft. I am livid that this type of activity is legal and am equally disgusted that the government does not care enough for its law abiding citizens to intervene and pass a law to make it illegal to make private information available for the entire world to see.
April of Springfield, OH (04/15/07)
I requested all information about me be removed from Zaba. I thought it was removed at one time and now I discover it is on there again.
I want my information removed from Zaba!
S. of Kansas City KS (04/12/07)
Zaba has been very slow to block/delete/remove my data, even though I complied with their stated requirements for doing so in a letter dated Feb. 28, 2007. They've compromised my privacy. I've written to my state congressman and representative about this issue, naming ZabaSearch in particular, and calling for meaningful legislation against such data brokers.
Sharon of Gresham OR (04/11/07)
I learned that my private address, unlisted phone no., and other personal info are readily available by just a mere click on the computer. I work with people who have mental health issues and I feel this puts me in danger.
I have tried to follow instructions for opting out, but apparently it's all outdated: Nothing happens when I click onto the recommended sites for such and letters don't get through. I feel this is a violation of my right to privacy and unnecessarily endangers me.
Kerri of North Platte NE (03/30/07)
I have repeatedly contacted zaba search about removing my and my husband info off their site. He has an ex wife that is in trouble with people and we are constantly receiving mail and phone calls for her. I also have a very dangerous ex-husband who I have had restraining orders out on that has now tried to contact me again. We just want out of this and to have our privacy respected.
Jennifer of Oak Park, IL (03/18/07)
I do not want my information made public. I PAY for my number to be unpublished.
One of my (male) workers got my phone number from this site and called me at home. This is a threat to my privacy and personal safety.
Aylene of Woodland Hills CA (03/03/07)
I should not have my life at stake for having a website put up my home address. I have deliberately had my car information blocked at the DMV due to my past job as a social worker. Now, I am a therapist and it is dangerous for me to have clients be able to find my address. This website should not exist.
Jessica of Mocksville NC (02/27/07)
I am unable to remove my info from Zabasearch.com despite attempting to keep my information private.
Jane of Roslyn NY (01/23/07)
I read in Newsday yesterday about this website called zabasearch. They have me living in NYC at my ex-husbands address with my birthdate. I have never lived there and have resided in Roslyn for more than 40 yrs. It was published about 12 different times with different dates. Those telephone numbers are his. I do not talk to him and he has been gone for 15 yrs. Where does zabasearch get this information. And if this is public knowledge where is it made public. Maybe I am being used for identity theft of my name.
Janice of West Babylon NY (01/12/07)
I have repeatedly asked Zabasearch to have my personal information removed from the www.zabasearch.com website. I do not know how they obtain such information and I find it to be a violation to my privacy. If I wanted my information to be public, I would have announced it in the white pages.
Catherine of Cranford NJ (01/10/07)
I am trying to get my name off line. According to Zaba.com any one can find my personal information. Being I work with prisoners up close and personal, I am threatened by this issue.
I can get hurt or phone calls to my home and family!
Ninane of Floral Park NY (12/30/06)
I e-mailed the company at optout@zabasearch.com, requesting that my name and personal information be removed from their website. As yet, I have not received any response.
It's very upsetting to me that my address is available to any person who enters my name into their website. I feel this is an encroachment on my right to privacy. Furthermore, I do not want any other persomal information to be reported on my behalf without my consent.
Elyse of Philadelphia PA (12/18/06)
Despite following the directions to remove my information from ZAbasearch, I remain listed also followed instructions for removal from intellius- to no avail.
Sheron of Brooklyn NY (12/08/06)
I have repeatedly emailed ZabaSearch.com to delete my information to no avail. Something has to be done to stop this. In todays world a company should not be authorized to post personal information without permission.
Amy of Jeannette PA (12/06/06)
I emailed the website to have them remove my name and other info. They did not honor my request.
John of Cincinnati OH (12/04/06)
I have REPEATEDLY emailed this operation to remove my name and all related information from their site. They have NEVER responded nor removed my info!
Donna of Algonquin, IL (12/03/06)
I requested to have my personal information removed from their database. I do not feel that they have the right to solicate my information to anyone for a cost. My home number is not even listed.
I feel this is an invastion of my privacy.
Erin of North Ridgeville OH (11/30/06)
I want to be removed from the Zabasearch website. There do not give any instructions on how to do this. I tried mailing my request to a postal address I did eventually locate, only to have it returned to me.
I have dangerous people in my past that I do not want to locate me for my own safety. I feel Zabasearch helps to enable them.
Laurie of Dearborn MI (11/28/06)
I was told by a friend that ZABASEARCH has put my personal information on their web site.They listed my name,address and previous addresses.Twice I have requested them to remove my information yet it's still there
I suffer from colitis, panic attacks and fibromyalgia that increases its intensity through stress. This web site, by putting my personal information out on the internet for all to see has increased my physical problems
Cyril of Montreal, Canada (11/26/06)
Zabasearch has my name and whatever personal information on a list accessible to public scrutiny. this is an invasion of my right to privacy. After repeated attempts by email to have my name removed. All my emails are returned unable to reach them. They are un-reachable by email in spite of their offering an email address to have info removed. Their apparent ability to make money out of people by selling personal info is intolerable
Penny of Edmonds WA (11/25/06)
Zabba Search had us listed on their website. We wrote a week ago and asked them to take us off their website and we are still on their website.
Antonio of Erie PA (11/20/06)
They are publishing my name and address on the internet. I work in the mental health and criminal Justice systems and I believe it is a serious safety issue for myself and my family. Increased emotional stress and anxiety about having my name and address published against my wishes. Myself and my family have increased worry about our safety due to the publishing of my name and address.
Michael of Chicago IL (11/20/06)
I have requested twice for my name and information to be removed from this website twice and it is still on there. I am a Chicago Police officer who has been contacted by people whom I have arrested because my information was accessable to them online.
Sharon of Apache Junction AZ (11/13/06)
On 8/29/06 I sent Zaba Tools a letter requesting them to remove me from there listing. I did everything right to the letter as requested my Zaba Tools. I was to receive a confirmation through my email address. I have not received anything as yet, and my families information is there registered with them.
George of Chicago IL (11/12/06)
I'm a police officer, who has received threating mail from a minor that i arrested off duty for graffiti in my neighborhood. I couldnt figure out how he got my address but he was dumb enough to do it while i was in the area, and signed the letter in his graffiti name. I began to search and found this zabasearch website listed above that when provided my full name produced home address AND home telephone number (which has never been listed) and family members associated to my name. this is disturbing to say the least and especially considering the lengths that I've taken to protect my personal information.
I've had my drivers license and vehicle plate registration address changed to my work address (chgo police dept headquarters) I've opted out of getting promotional mailers, I've registered with donotcall.gov in 2004 I have fraud alerts on all the three major credit reporting agencies since 1998 and opted out of all my credit cards(even for promotional offers) leaving nothing to chance......and then I find my personal information on this website.
I'm at public servant who has successfully arrested having the state prosecute hundreds of felony cases.I feel as if my security is in jeapardy each and every day that this and other similar sites are able to provide my information ......when you click on more information on zabasearch once on my information (intelius...... has my families information listed).......god knows who else they in turn sold it to.
none as of yet.....I have a order of protection against the minor (who I cant legally name)to have no contact or comeo one thousand feet from my residence.
Isabell of Philadelphia PA (11/04/06)
On June 25, 2005, I wrote to ZabaTools, instructing them to remove my name and personal information from their site. To date, it still appears.
Sue of Rancho Santa Margarita CA (11/04/06)
No response from my multiple requests to DELETE MY NAME from ZABASEARCH. They have incorrect information. ..... PRIVACY IS AT RISK........ I've mailed request alongwith email requests.
Tracy of Tallahassee FL (10/28/06)
My husband is a law enforcement officer and it is vital that his personal information be kept private. The devious crooks at Zaba search put everyones personal, private information out there for the world to see with total disregard for safety, security and privacy. They do not honor their own policy for removal (if you are lucky enough to be able to find it). These people are criminals in the eyes of the public and should be prosecuted.
Any criminal that my husband has encountered that holds a grudge can easily find him, me or our kids and do God knows what! We need help to get this stuff off the internet!
Barbara of Glendale NY (10/26/06)
My personal information is displayed even though I have everything Private, I had a crazy exboyfreind, that I am Deadly afraid of, and I really dont want my personal information displayed to millions of online people who can take my identity plus I dont want to risk my life if God forbid my Ex stumbles across ZabaSearch.
T of Austin, TX (10/15/06)
Per the instructions sent to me from Zaba Tools, I requested that my info be deleted (2 records). Despite following their instructions precisely, my info remains on Zabasearch.
I have now sent Zaba Tools 4 letters! I have yet to receive a reply by phone, email or USPS. Zaba Tools does not honor their own policy.
Julie of Lindenhurst NY (10/10/06)
I have requested 4 times that they remove my personal information and they still have not complied. I have filed a complaint with the NYS Attorney General's office. There is no damage yet, that I know of, but I am terrified that the availability of my personal information to anyone who wants it will lead to identity theft or something worse.
Karen of West Milford NJ (10/10/06)
A friend brought my attention to this website, zabasearch.com where peoples names are listed for public viewing of all personal information, and for a small fee, can buy my ss# number! I e-mailed this company requesting my name as well as my husbands name be removed from their files at once. This was three days ago, and still no response from them. So where do I start?
Tessa of NY, NY (10/09/06)
I followed the instruction to get my info removed from Zaba's database and checked 2 weeks later nothing done. I sent two more letters and still nothing done. I do not believe Zaba will remove your info upon your written request as they say.
I am getting contacted by people I'd rather not hear from.
Justin of Phoenix AZ (10/05/06)
I emailed Zabasearch requesting my information be removed. Their auto-reply provided me instructions on how to submit a mail-in form which would only take a couple weeks. I mailed the information in August, and as of October my information is still available.
Lois of Philadelphia, PA (10/03/06)
My information is available on zabasearch.com. I emailed them asking them to remove it, but nothing happened. I want my information removed from their database.
It seems all I've done is give them my email address to add to their information about me.
T. of Detroit, MI (10/02/06)
I would like to complaint about having my name address and phone number accessable on zabasearch. I do not have my address published in the local phone book inorder to keep my address private.
I am a single woman who lives alone and due to the information being made available, had someone from my past to show up at my home address/door. I feel this is unsafe and has allowed someone who would not have even thought about me, if they had not run across my name on zabasearch. This has allowed access to stalking.
Jennifer of Dallas, TX (10/01/06)
I would like my information removed from their database immediately!
Carolyn of Austell GA (09/29/06)
Approximately 2 weeks ago I sent an e-mail to Zabasearch.com requesting my information be permanently removed from their website. This has not been done.
Christine of Pittsburgh, PA (09/28/06)
This search engine provides full information about individuals and I think it has gone over the line of privacy. I have requested that my name be removed from their list but it shouldn't have been there to begin with.
This is an invitation to identity theft.
Karen of Conroe TX (09/25/06)
This site is giving out personal information, with maps to designated addresses...and we wonder why the crime rate is going up....Can this information be removed?
Feel that I am in danger with address and infor floating out in cyberspace
Kenneth of Watertown CT (09/25/06)
Can something be done about these types of websites that give out personal information even SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS for a price?? I have been a victim of identity theft twice allready and it is websites like this that is most likely the reason why there is such an increase in identity theft today!!
Had to close bank account and switch to another bank, took time off work (Unpaid) to get this mess straightened out
Margaret of Patchogue, NY (09/23/06)
This site is selling my personal information. I sent an email to have it removed. They sent me an email back stating that I had to send an official letter through the mail. I did as they said but it has been over a month and I have no response plus my information is still posted!
Mary of San Jose CA (09/19/06)
I am highly offended and violated that there is a website that is using my private information for there use. Then selling my SS# for a nominal fee. How the hell would this website/company get this information or have the right to my privact without my consent? This is not the kind of information that I want on the web especially since they can view my emails. How can people get this web site shut down for good, and find out how this information became available to them with no ones consent? This is really bothersome, especially for people who have had identity theft, under protection or are just very private.
Amy of Upland CA (09/18/06)
I was very upset when I found all my information posted on Zaba search. I felt violated. I try very hard to keep my information private. We have the right to privacy. Why privacy laws when our lives and info can be looked up. Anyone can find my home. How safe is this and how can this be legal? I want all my personal information removed from Zaba search ASAP. How do I do this? This is a violation of my life, and it should NOT be allowed.
Deidre of Mauldin, SC (09/15/06)
I was made aware that there is a web site by the name of www.zabasearch.com that is available to the general public, free of charge, that displays your personal information (names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and social security number is available for a price). How is this made possible that your social security number is available for a price, is this not illegal?
According to the link you can send an email to info@zabasearch.com to have your information removed. I requested my information to be removed on August 28, 2006. I have been checking to see if my information has been removed daily and as of today September 15, 2006 my information is still in their database.
Bonnie of Castroville TX (09/04/06)
I was horrified when I looked up my name on zabasearch and found not only my birthdate, but every address I have lived at for last 20 years, including my personal phone number. I have attempted to be very private with all my information and I have no idea how they got all of this, but I feel violated! I only give out this information to few friends and family and fewer businesses. No wonder there is so much identity theft - - it's legally gotten! I'm incensed my personal information is on the web for every criminal, every stalker, every child molester, every kidnapper, every i.d. thief and every psycho maniac serial killer! This is enough to cause such fear & trepidation and the feeling that I'm not even safe in my own home.
Stacy of Mchenry IL (09/01/06)
I have been victim of domestic violence from some psychotic preditor that I was told by the State Attorney office of Dupage County to relocate before this individual gets out of prison because of what he has done to me.
Roxanne of Minneapolis MN (08/15/06)
A friend brought Zabasearch.com to my attention. The site freely uses and fails to protect my sensitive personal data without permission, including my unlisted name, address and birth year. Upon further research, I was amazed to easily obtain relatives' names, phone numbers, and other confidential information. In addition to finding herself listed, one of my friends, Nena Andueza, was amazed to find her deceased Mother and one of three brother's birthdates linked to her Minneapolis address: Neither her Mother or brother have ever resided in Minneapolis nor within the United States!
The site claims to also sell additional related information for a fee, such as Social Security numbers. I have contacted by writing the operator of ZabaSearch to request a cease and desist of display, use and/or resale of my personal information. In addition, I have provided background information to my State's Attorney General's Office in an effort to block the operation of data brokers like ZabaSearch who jeopardize personal identity.
Lauren of St Charles MO (08/10/06)
i clicked on a web search and put my name and all my info,family info came up, my address(s) D.O.B, phone #s, everything came listed. with a purchase you can get background info and ss#.I do not want my name listed on this web site, snopes.com. or zabessearch.com
Wendy of Kirkwood MO (08/10/06)
I got an email saying someone had just searched my name at Zabasearch and when I clicked on it to find out who it was, I got a ton of info about myself and you could even see emails, etc. from strangers. Very upsetting.
Elizabeth of St. Louis MO (08/10/06)
I would like ALL of my current and previous information removed from this web site as well as my family members information that is listed. I find it absolutley ridiculous that anyone has the ability to purchase my information from this site for a mere forty dollars!!! Anyone has the ability to steal my information and therefore they is a major possibility that identity theft can and will happen!!
Lashonda of Saint Louis MO (08/10/06)
I would like for my information to be removed. You all have my old address down 1562 Norlakes Dr. I cant believe you all just put peoples information out there for other people to see. what is the world coming to. Any one can just see it and use it. Please please remove my name off this sysytem
I have a fraud alert thing on my credit report. How can I have that on there if you all have my info out there. I have to much trouble with people trying to use my name and now I see where they get it from.
Joanne of Winter Springs FL (08/04/06)
ZabaSearch has no address, phone numbers or email address BUT it has information on me, (and you) that is incorrect and that I object to. I have tried calling but in searching their site, there is a number on the Intellius site which is cleverly integrated to Zaba. When I called the number I learned that I had reached Intellius and they had nothing to do with ZabaSearch, but that they did advertise with Zabasearch. I emailed Zabasearch, they emailed back with a lot of hot air but did say I could go to tools and edit or block my information....NOT SO...when I finally did find ZabaSearch tools, the page came up invalid and unavailable. This is a dangerous sight.. People can use this sight fraudulently in a very easy way.
The possibilities of the physical and economic damage are endless and freightening. I suggest you look at it for yourself at www.zabasearch.com
John of Indpls IN (07/28/06)
They have published my personal information on the internet. There is a suggestion that you can opt out so I sent them an email and they want me to send them a letter before they would remove me from their database. They even have my social security number there, my home and telephone numbers. I believe that you prebably have your information on there.
Lisa of Nashville TN (07/05/06)
I demand my name and all other info be deleted from their files. This is outrageous! These laws that allow these companies to do this to individuals are insane! This is America! What happened to our rights! Almost every law now is to protect the bad guy. I want my info deleted from all these types of files. They have shutdown their site of info@zabasearch so a person cannot do this. This is criminal. No wonder there is so much identity theft!
Jacqueline of Chicago IL (09/12/05)
i do not like the idea of my personal information on the internet
Joseph of Lafayette LA (06/03/05)
A friend told me personal info about me was on this website. I checked the info about me was there. I e-mailed the company, asked to be removed, was e-mailed back stating that I had to write them a letter, giving them more info about me to be removed.
I give no one permission to create a file, on me. I should be able to have records of me deleted by E-mail.
Warren of Santa Fe NM (04/27/05)
I was told to view this site due to the fact my name and date of birth are listed there. I viewed it and in deed I am listed on this site. We talk about idenitiy theft but yet we allow people to create sites like this.
