The information is simply wrong, they siphon information from other social community sites and re-use content and pictures in clear copyright infringement. Add to that list the breach of privacy and it is hard to do worse. I wonder which business would want to associate its reputation to that kind of dishonest activity.

A friend of mine started writing to advertisers about this company- explaining the info they are publishing and that they refuse to remove names. She's now been threatened by blockshopper.com that if she keep complaining they will sue her!

These people [this is a stretch] behind this site are bad for the Internet and bad for America. In addition to scraping data for websites that pay for data, they offer no opt-out function which would protect social workers and others that work with dangerous people. Blockshopper could careless if an innocent person is harmed or ID is stolen.

I canceled my home insurance with Pemco because they were advertising on www.blockshopper.com

They show everyone's addresses and refuse to let people opt out, even if there is a safety issue (like someone being stalked, or someone working in a job that places them at risk). Worse, their pages get indexed by google so anyone can find you with a simple google search. People angry about this website are banding together to do something about it at www.OptOutMovement.org

As with those previously noted- blockshopper.com has refused to remove my personal data even when informed that I had a stalker that could find me & harm my family. The open door they have created for credit card fraud is also a huge issue and the surface has only been scratched on this. Why a website would want to put people in harms way in this manner is beyond my understanding.

This website publishes home addresses and names which are frequently credit card billing addresses. It will cause unprecedented levels of online fraud on E-Commerce websites which do not require a ccv code. The people that run this site are truely the scum of the earth. It is also now possible to find out a young girl's address because of the fact that she is listed on her High School's honor roll. Thats right, we not talking Facebook folks. Simply copy her last name, school name, and the word "blockshopper" and you get her parents address.

This site posts personal information about property values INCLUDING owners names. For my personal security purpose, as well as privacy, I don't wish this information to be posted as an open search.

I contacted the company and they said they would not remove my personal name, address and property value. This openly reports this information for friends, customers, vendors, thiefs, and others.

Don't I have any rights to my own privacy? If not, this is WRONG!
