Zabasearch


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

My child's name is listed on these Internet search sites! So is my address, phone number, and map to my house! This is very dangerous! I don't want strangers knowing where my little girl lives and what her name is! How did they get my child's name? I never use it on the Internet or MySpace or Facebook, never. They even have her middle name spelled wrong, and the only time that happened was on a tax form I filled out right after she was born because she was named after my husband's aunt and I spelled it wrong for a month until I learned better. How did these people finder sites steal my child's name from my taxes? I never showed anyone my tax paper, so they got it without my permission. Isn't that illegal?

If my name is put into Zabasearch, no information is listed for me in Massachusetts. I was looking for my next door neighbor's telephone number on your site, and found all of my previous addresses listed with her name, Barbara **. How does this happen? Can you correct it? My classmates from college have been looking to locate me for a reunion and are not able to.

I recognize that Zaba has my date of birth in May 1966. I have previously faxed in the information I was required to do and my name was temporarily taken out and then placed back in again. Please remove the name and all other information associated with the name. Thank you.

The company is listing my personal information without permission, and I work in a correctional setting, which could put me and my family at risk.

You have no right to take my name, wrong date of my birth, where I live. phones, etc. I want to be removed from Zabasearch immediately! I am furious and I will talk to a lawyer if name and addresses are not removed! I did not give you permission and I would love to sue you for this intrusion of privacy! Get me off Zabasearch!

As a former law enforcement officer, my life was threatened and I have PTSD as a result. This Zabasearch site has done nothing except exasperate, as well as made my condition worse! Please do everything possible to get rid of them! And, yes, I did send them a fax with the info required to "opt out" with no results! Thank you!

Okay, so how in the World can Zaba and these other online information sites manage to mess up people's identity? Then, they don't even bother to correct it. In my case, one or two locations (for cities lived in) are correct. So this is supposed to be me. The rest is totally ludicrous! I am offended by the false statements attached with my name. My age is totally wrong. Relatives and people are totally wrong, I don't even know who some of these people are. When and how do these things get taken off on these slanderous sites? How can these all be removed or how can I correct this misleading highway of offensive information?

Horrible customer service, horrible business practices. Complete violation of an individual's "rights to privacy. " File a complaint with the BBB against PIPL.com - which is zabasearch.com.

Someone has placed derogatory, menacing and notes about me that were just defaming me of character. That includes my name, address, telephone numbers (which I've had to change several times) on a site called Zaba search, a search engine that gives out your name and address for free. I've asked them to remove this information and they refused. As a police officer, I cannot have my name and home telephone number on the internet and take great precautions against it especially when my name is being degraded.

How could anyone come up with all these false statements on people through search sites? They have my relatives wrong and my age as eleven years older which is totally wrong and yet they have several addresses that were correct.

How can these mistakes be taken cared of?

My name appears, and the last phone number of over 8 years, under another DOB in 1946. I am a female with an all-male name and an identical twin.

I have suffered from mail redirections, online identity hacking events, banking issues (both online and in person), and continue to get my mail redirected due to my name. The DOB now showed up under all my previous addresses.

I have repeatedly contacted ZabaSearch for removal of a posting link/URL. Not only is the content false and libelous/slanderous and unfounded, but the posting also has my full address, name and date of birth. It also has a property search link on the posting! It was sent and addressed to my brother, but his name is misspelled, so he cannot even send a letter to ZabaSearch and ask for removal because they don't accept his identity as it does not correspond with a misspelled name!

I have sent multiple letters to ZabaSearch per their removal conditions, but the "URL" link still appears. Google cannot remove it until ZabaSearch does, so it repeatedly appears if you Google my name and address. This could impact my safety and open me up to identity theft! This posting has impacted my ability to get work and earn a living. I consult and work with both government agencies as well as not-for-profits. I have been applying also for full-time positions, but the content of this link is so inflammatory and derogatory towards me, I lose the ability to be a candidate for this position which requires high standards of ethics and character.

I have located a phone number for ZabaSearch, but when you dial it, it goes to an answering machine and you never get a return call. ZabaSearch needs to be held responsible. They are a public forum where anyone can post anything about another person without any verification of its truth or veracity. They do not vet or authenticate the postings. This is blatantly wrong and harmful to innocent people and an unacceptable standard for a company.

ZabaSearch does not respond to email or fax or USPS requests. I was a victim of identity theft and need the information removed.

They have somehow gotten private information about me and are displaying it without my permission. This information can be crucial to anyone who may want to do me harm. They have even displayed my birth date. And since all they actually need is a letter, stating my name, address and DOB, which since they have it posted anyone can get, to delete it, they still say it can not be completely erased. I am outraged at how I have to compromise with them in regard to my own information in which I do not want to share at all! I want it removed.

I really like ZabaSearch. I've been able to re-connect with a few long-lost friends and relatives. It's a great search engine for finding people! I figure most folks who worry about being found are ones who may have hurt people and are afraid of retribution. In which case, it should be your 20 bucks to keep hiding.

Zabasearch.net is providing incorrect information to its users resulting in numerous annoying phone calls looking for individuals, numerous instances of unwanted phone calls and mail delivery.

A man was able to pay a fee and find me. I also had a woman in Ontario, CA search me. My daughter is schizophrenic and my only goal now is to keep her safe. If she does well, they free her from locked facility. The result is always the same, she goes AWOL in open facility. Someone in Ontario was able to go into Social Security and become the payee. How does this happen?

I am legal conservator and mother, a very stressful job that I do to protect her. Social Security was so rude to me. I had a terrible time straightening this out and they could care less that this lady stole her check fraudulently. I go through 'hell' to become conservator every year, go to court, obey all that is asked of me, and this woman in one day takes her into social security and becomes the payee. What the hell is going on? I found out this same woman did a search on me. I live alone and this could have been dangerous to my life.

Everything in this world seems so screwed up. The bad people are taking over and have more rights than us. I was treated by SS as the criminal and bad person. I am telling you it was horrible straightening this out, even though I had a huge file of past years of being conservator and her birth certificate, they treated me like I was the bad person. They were very rude. I had no rights that day according to them and this person stole one month that was for my daughter. How many other people does she do this for? I tried my best to get someone to track her down. She could have kept my daughter locked in a room stealing her check and I wouldn't even know where she was and the fact that she found my address on "My Life" is appalling and frightening to me.

Something has to stop. This is so wrong. We can never find the criminals because they hide like little rats, undocumented, no drivers license insurance, homes, etc., while the average American does everything right and by doing this is exposed and vulnerable, naked to the world of crime. This is insane! I have a hard enough time coping with my poor daughters illness and worry about one day when I am not here to help her. She will obviously become a victim to evil. I am so tired of fighting life. What should be right is wrong for us hard working Americans and so easy for the low life scum that will take our money, leaves in two seconds without a thought. By the way, is anyone that gives a ** reading this or care?

I have been harassed. We have our phone unlisted for a reason, and have opted out of annoying phone calls, etc. Zaba needs to take my family and all forms of our name off its site. I have a disability and constantly having to screen calls and look out my window have taken a toll on my emotional health.

I called 888-200-4388 and the man on the phone told me to contact John, we set up an appointment to which he did not show up or call. I called and left several messages, none were returned. I was quite upset by this so I called the 888 number again, only to be told I would have to deal with John as he was the one who serviced the account. Pretty poor service if you ask me. I see the ads and hear the talk but no one is really there for you. I am very disappointed in DirecTV. Thank you for your time. By the way I am in the public service business as well. I am not a complainer by nature. I am just really fed up!

I am extremely upset to find not only my phone number on this site, but also my address (all my addresses I've had) along with a map on how to get there. I keep asking for my information to be removed from Zabasearch, but nothing has happened. How many people have to be attacked and killed before the public makes sites like this? Stop Zabasearch now! They will display your personal information (unlisted phone numbers, etc.) forever, unless you pay a ransom of $20. Once you give them a credit card #, they remove your data for (they promised) a period of 2 years. Is this legal?

I am receiving very frightening phone calls from unidentified strangers, claiming to have located me from ZabaSearch website. I have also gotten many emails from men and women I don't know asking me for "dates".

my name is on zaba search and i can not get removed unless i pay 20.00. i do not need anyone to know my personal info. that is why i had an unlisted phone number. i do not think this is safe for anyone can find out where i live or even get in touch with me without my permission. can you help. Thank you

I am a police officer in Milford, Ct. It is no surprise that more and more Identity thefts are being reported and performed. The above sight offers private compiled information to anyone willing to pay. Even more disturbing is that I purposely divert my personal info to my dept's address and phone number for the past 8 years and it is still on this site. I would hope that none of the individuals, that I had dealt with,during the course of my duties, would use this site to find my family or home. Another unsettling aspect of this site is that a picture of my home as well as directions, are just a mouse click away. The insult to injury part of the site is that they want me to pay them $20.00 to block my information for 2 years. Maybe they should obtain permission from each and every person on thier site to post thier personal information and pay them $20.00. I would suspect the people getting rich off of giving away personal information will probably be the first in line at the police dept. when some type of identity crime or personal crime is committed upon them.

zaba search has an unknown middle eastern male living at MY ADDRESS. i HAVE LIVED HERE SINCE 1997 ALONE AND VERY UPSET WHEN i SAW HOW SOMEONE CAN JUST USE MY ADDRESS AND THERE'S EVEN A MAP GIVING DIRECTIONS TO MY HOME. i DID SOME CHECKING WITH IMMIGRATIONS AND THIS MAN WAS DEPORTED 10/2001

Zaba search has listed mine and my wife's name and address without our permission. At their Web site it has a form to fill out to remove it for a cost of $20.00 which is only good for about 2 years per their ad.

My wife is a Social Worker with the County of Orange, Ca. Having our name and address listed with out our permission puts her in a dangerous situation, for her clients can do a search and get our address and then they can come to our home and cause problems. Our license plates are restricted so people can not get it and find out where we live.

I have discovered that this website has my address, birthyear, and a map to my house. I live in a small town and I am frightened about this. They require a credit card and a $20 payment to block this information. I have received frightening phone calls that could not be traced. I have twice had my credit card used and the card had to be reissued.

i cant get any way to contact, i innocently did a zabasearch and out of nowhere M PART OF ZABASPHERE, HAVE PEOPLE nd emails constatly, i want to opt out but they want 20 buckets to do that..I have a family, we have been harrassed by internet bullies who get info and bother us at home, we moved once already...i just want that zaba search removed for my name

I went online and couldn't believe that all of my personal information was posted including a map leading to my home. Is this legal? I would like to have my information removed without a cost and never posted again.

I went on PIPL, which is zabasearch, and could not believe all the info they had out there on me. Even the map to where I live was there, which is a very private information that you don't give to anyone. This is very dangerous! Then they want money from you to take it off. This is very fearful for me, and it is exploiting and should be stopped immediately. How could they get away with it? They shouldn't. They should be slapped with a very big fine, and everything should be removed. There should have been an option to have it removed! And if there was anyone who wanted the info, let them pay. Of course, they figured they can make money this way too, because they have it the other way under some other name.

This website has all my personal information on it. I never gave my permission or have ever joined this organization. When I tried to delete my information, this website states I can do this by paying a $20.00 opt-out fee. Why should I pay them anything? I found out my information was being advertised by a friend who said it and told me to log on and see for my self. Can you help me get rid of this?

They are publishing my (and your) personal information including name, address, telephone numbers, and a Google Map right to my front door. Isn't this illegal? I want to stop them. Help us please. They are putting me and my family at risk for identity theft and harm.

This company is using loopholes in system to make money on ordinary people by putting all of us in risk. I sent several letters to them requesting to delete my personal information but nothing was done. Sites like Intelius, USsearch have opt-out options and they respected my request to delete info. I do not understand why not this site?. This might be publishing our senetors and cogressmen information and putting them in risk.

I see that they are now providing google map to our home address. This should be stopped. I sent a complaint to FCC. Also I suggest fellow brothers and sisters to contact your senators and cogressmen. I would like to mention thanks to Connecticut Governor for initiating some action against this kind of legally protected illegal companies.

Emotional torture and fear generation

I have asked Zaba Search to remove my address several times. They don't. I am very attractive and this has caused a major problem with stalkers. Not really. That was a joke. But I am in Higher Education and I have had problems with disgruntled students showing up at my home.

Harrasment at late hours, potential vandalism to my property.

Due to the nature of my job and my work environment I requested that my name and address be removed from the web as it poses a danger to me and my family, but zaba search engine continues to display pertinent information about me and my family. I would appreciate if this matter be taken care of.

ZABASEARCH is publishing my private information including address and home phone which is causing me issues. The information is supposed to be private and on their website, they want $20 via credit card to remove up to 6 records. They have me more than 6 and I should not have to pay for an illegal site like this.

Many unwanted calls and requests. I would like to sue this company for the issues they are causing me.

I do not want my name on zaba's public list. They should not be allowed to do this.

I get harrasing calls from this

Someone has posted a message under my name, attempting to impersonate me, saying vile and disgustingly untrue things. Now this post is available for the world to see: future employers, business customers, my fiance's family and children...anyone who Googles my name.

The post is new so the damages are yet to come but I expect a plethera of them, including my personal and professional reputation, and my employability with the government agencies to which I have recently been applying for work.

I would like for my name and old address to be remove on of zabaseach. A friend of mine inform me that this website has alot of information post on the web and i didn't give any approve for this and would like for it to be remove. I don't anyone looking for me it could be someone crazy and it has all my information up clear as day with a Map beside it please help me clear this off. Thank you

I did not request my personal information to be listed on the internet under Zaba Search. I am a victim of fraud and all this information listed about me in my opinion leads to identify theft.

I wanna remove my information from zaba search.

There are about 50 to 75 posts under my maiden name on zabasearch that I would like removed I shouldn't have to pay for something I didn't do. So one else has been doing the posting. Zaba wants $20 per post that is just not right it's a free site. Now there are sites that allow you to remove things why not zaba?????

I am extremely upset to find not only my phone number on this site, but also my address (all my addresses I've had) along with a map on how to get there. Why are there no laws against this kind of thing? It makes it to easy for pedophiles and thieves. Let me guess, nothing will be done until something actually happens. This needs to be stopped now! If anyone enters a class action suit against this company for both this and fraud (since paying the $20.00 to get your name removed doesn't work) please let me know.

I keep asking for my information to be removed from Zabasearch, but nothing has happened. This is an invasion of my privacy and it needs to be stopped. No one asked for my permission.

I am linked to my x-husband who is crazy and I don't want him knowing my address. I am scared. I keep getting his mail and even receive his bill collectors mail and calls.

My name and address and telephone number are listed on these web sites. I am 84 I live alone and I have been bothered in the past by harrassing phone calls, my home being bothered by people attempting to break in. This to me is very unfair. In order to have my name taked off I must pay $20.00 I already sent in my Drivers license, as my ID and all the other info they required and still my name is listed on these sites

I am 84, and live alone. I have had harrassing phone calls, someone trying to break into my home. My age should require them to unlist me without having to pay them a fee. I live in fear

They should not publish any information about me because I have a restraining order on my exhusband, and also I had to relocate to a different county, and also relocate my Job. My life is in danger. Please have them to remove this information about where I live, and my name. Thank you. I do have a court order.

This has cause me to have lots of stress and fear for my Life.

want to get off his wed-site zaba search. I did not give him permisson to use my personal information. My friend found my personal information on the web-site. I paid to have my Phone number private and my address also.

I am distressed to discover that the names of my MINOR children are listed as relatives, along with a satellite map to our address. We had fled from a violent situation, and until now the perpetrator had no clue where we had relocated to. This puts our safety at extreme risk. Why is this public invasion of privacy, including posting information regarding minor children, allowed??

How can I get my name off of Zaba Alert prmanetly? I pay for the private number and did not give any permission to post my address on the website.

I put a message on zabasearch looking for an old friend, but i did not feel comfortable with my name and email address for everyone to see. There is no way to contact anyone to get my information off of there. Please help me. I really want that info off there.

None so far but i just do not feel comfortable with that on there

zapasearch is a rip-off. I purchased a 50.00 package to gather information about people I needed to get in contact with. They offer relatives, neighbors, phone numbers, friends, etc. The information that I retrieved was nothing more than what I had. Their database is not current information. You are only able to seek information pretaining to one person.

I would like to be refunded.

I've been divorced for 14 yrs. and have a different name...but recently found Zaba has linked my ex's name and his new wife to my address...that he and she have never lived at...consequently I am getting their mail. Can it be removed.

I informed zabasearch via letters that I wnat my personal information removed from their website. I also informed them that someone found my personal information through their website and is now threateing to do bodily harm if he/she ever sees me outside. The person wrote a note telling me my information was easy to obtain from zabasearch. This person has my home address, date of birth as well as other personal information. Plese advise zabasearch that by posting others personal information on the web they are putting people lives at RISK.

For over two months, I have written to posted address for removal of info, yet ZabaSearch refuses to remove my information. I am receiving very frightening phone calls from unidentified strangers, claiming to have located me from ZabaSearch website.

Zabasearch continues to publish information about me, when I have demanded that they respect my privacy and take information about me off their websites. I have received strange phone calls from unknown people who say they have found me on zabasearch, and I am frightened.

Some of the information they publish about me is even false, leading me to believe that some of the phone calls are intended for someone else with my same name. What are we going to do about these invasions of privacy? Why won't anyone stop this?

Strangers all over the world now know where I live, how much money I make and other details. I am also being confused with someone else who may have dangerous associations. Please, please stop zabasearch.

This website has my name and address published on their site and for a little more than 2 years I have asked them to remove my information. They have only responded once and asked for money to remove the information and I have refused to pay. I am a victim of violence and always keep my information unlisted and I became petrified when someone called me to tell me that my information was listed immediately I wrote to them and asked to be removed and they responded by asking for a fee. This practice is appalling and bordeline extortion to consumers. Obviously they do not realize how dangerous this is.

I have been found by this perpetrator and now reliving in fear once again because my address became known to him by these websites.

Mr. Matzorkis (at ZABASEARCH) is putting my life at risk. His website provides any user with my personal information and even a map to my house (though if you note, the site doesn't work if you put in his own name - for security purposes I'm sure). I can't find out how to contact him or his attorney.

I have been stalked and don't want my information on the web (hence why I didn't put it here). I have tried to contact his site via the links he provides, but they are not really ways of contacting him by email or phone, and he disclaims any harm he is doing to anyone. I don't understand why a big legal firm doesn't pick up stuff like this as pro-bono to stop folks like this. I am all for fredom of speech, but not invasion of privacy. If my records are public, make someone GO TO THE COURTHOUSE (where their face will be videoed when they ask for my information) instead of letting folks like this put it on the web for thugs to look up my personal information in the privacy of their home.

How many people have to be attacked and killed before the public makes sites like this stop! I'm sure he wouldn't want a map to his house pushed on the web if his wife or mother or child was being stalked. Acting in such disregard for human life is so sick. If he wants to make the almighty buck to support his Malibu house, he should charge people $ for getting listed on his site, instead of harming folks, then turning around and charging the victims of stalking crimes money to have their info taken of - after the fact. I mean really, what is the point then? Our government should protect citizens, not allow money hungry people like this to be the venue folks use to inflict physical damage to folks. Can't you help?

Will not remove personal information about myself without paying first.

ID Theft, stalkers, etc

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.

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

i would like my name, address,birthday and any other information about me removed from this site please.

invasion of privacy

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!

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

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?

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.

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.

I have been unable to remove my personal information from the website zabasearch.com.

This is identity theft.

A stalkerharasser 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!

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.



Crazy people are posting slander on ZabaSearch.com, the internet, about me. I've called, emailed and sent numerous requests to ZabaSearchPeopleData without any response from them. This should be illegal


Slanderous emails of a crazy person are preventing change of employment.

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.



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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.


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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am unable to remove my info from Zabasearch.com despite attempting to keep my information private.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Despite following the directions to remove my information from ZAbasearch, I remain listed also followed instructions for removal from intellius- to no avail.

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.

I emailed the website to have them remove my name and other info. They did not honor my request.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would like my information removed from their database immediately!

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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!

i do not like the idea of my personal information on the internet

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.

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.
