Blockshopper.com Reviews

My wife is a social worker who regularly interacts with the public over very emotional issues. For her safety and as a matter of county policy, our home address and phone number are unlisted. Yet, we were recently alarmed to find that our home address shows up as the first result when one puts her name into Google now.

This company publishes and distributes on search engines private information. This information is drawn from municipal government records which are not entered into internet search engines and therefore is protected by municipal servers. The questions are: How does BlockShopper download the information? And does the government express permission to enter the information into universal search engines?

I have asked repeatedly for my name and address to be removed from their website. Like many others, I have been told that it is public information. Yes, I realize that; however, via the state sites, my name is not "googleable"! And, if I can opt not to have my name and address published in a phone book, I should have the right to opt out of having my name and address listed on the Internet. This is a violation of my privacy and I want it stopped!

Blockshopper totally invaded my privacy by putting personal information in one place for all to see. We have small kids and are now concerned for their safety. The site not only shows what we paid, and where we live (aerial view) , it also tells my professional biography. I received numerous emails from people telling me that they received google alerts with my information showing up. I work for a company that is high profile, and the publicity is not good. Even if Blockshopper.com's actions are not illegal, they are immoral.

They have invaded my privacy by listing my name, address, and property description and location on their website. I asked them to remove my name from their website and they refused.

I am one of the homeowners listed on this site: **. Please remove the reference to me and my husband, as well as our unit number. I have just completed the arduous task of changing both my work number and cell number to avoid being found by somebody who has been harassing me for years, and your site could possibly enable the behavior to continue, potentially leading to disastrous results.

I googled my name, and it brought up my address on the front page of the search. I am a single woman who does not give out my address to strangers. What the hell! This is unsafe and a violation of my privacy. Please make them cease and desist. Anyone could come to my door to find me. It's uncool.

The website publishes my full name with my home address along with the amount that I purchased my home for, all with the intent of gaining profit from the information. I requested my name be taken off the website, and was told it is public information.

Blockshopper.com posts people’s personal information as far as address, their property purchase price and date of property purchase. I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission about it but they do not take individual complaints. So, I need a group of people to file complaint with FTC. I see a lot of complaints about blockshopper.com here. They do not call or write back. I moved to get away from my psycho ex-husband and now he can locate me any time and turn my life into hell again. I thought I was done with him until I saw my address on blockshopper.com.

I am interested in a class action lawsuit. I have sent the staff of Blockshopper.com (Scarlett, Brian, Drew, Timothy **, and Rob) several emails pertaining the risk they have placed my family in by listing my complete address. I informed them that I work in a banking center which requires me to open and close down a center that carries a ton of money. They were also informed that I have a unique name that no other women has. I also informed them that I live one city away from my job and based on my job functions, I receive threats and anyone at anytime can locate me. Their response was, "It's public information."

If Blockshopper.com can put up information with disregard to people's privacy, then they shouldn't be so unhappy when they see themselves over and over and over and over in a negative light on Google, which states this very thought (that Blockshopper.com gets to put on the web every public record they can find). Well, I say fine! Everyone should keep writing how unhappy they are that Blockshopper.com will not remove that information. Let's see how happy they are when their ad dollars go down and down and down. Don't get mad, get even! Nothing personal, it's just business! The business of getting even!

Blockshopper.com will not even entertain the idea of removing your information upon request. Advertisers should consider this before signing on with them.

After being victimized and moving with an up number, I see my address on blockshopper.com. I asked to be removed but no one has the courtesy to do it or return an email or call. I am now posting the CEO's family address and phone to see how he likes it!

This company legally posts public information on individuals as related to real estate transactions. The problem is they make it readily available through a simple google search. With public records, you generally have to go down to county records to pull this info. This site makes it easy for stalkers to show up on your doorstep. There have been several victims who have complained. One lady was running from an ex and he found her through blockshopper.com and showed up on her doorstep. Is there anything that can be down to shut this site down or have them make it more difficult to get your personal info?

I was informed by a friend that googling my name revealed my full name, full home address, a picture of my house, what I originally paid for it and the name of the previous owner. I do not appreciate my privacy being invaded like this! I realize that we live in a time when protecting one's privacy is a challenge; however, it shouldn't be! I never granted my permission to BlockShopper to use my information publicly. They should be sued for their blatant disrespect of privacy. I am now looking into writing up an online petition in order to move forward with the proceedings of a lawsuit. Anyone interested in signing, please email me at **.

Blockshopper claims to list publicly available information online. This is fine. What is not fine is make this information available through a single name search in Google. If I want to know where you live, Blockshopper will tell me. I tried to explain this to the stupid ** Scarlett ** but she does not care. They always don't until sued. If anyone wants to find and kill you, Blockshopper helps because they list everything.

This website is displaying property information, as well as names of property owners on their website: www.blockshopper.com. My information is mentioned there along with the address and picture of my property without my consent--posing a danger to me and my family. Please have them remove our names immediately. They furnished mine and my wife's names, along with the property address on their website (with picture) without our consent, posing a grave danger to us. Please have them remove our names immediately.

They display my home address when someone Googles my name. This is negligent and poses undue risk to consumers. I have tried to contact them to get my name removed. Something must be done about this site!
