Someone sent this to me this morning, and, thinking it was a hoax,

I checked on it. And I was surprised and horrified to find that it was

NOT a hoax. I checked on my own name, it had nearly the correct

address and a flattering birth date, but the correct phone number.

And, what was more horrifying, it had my cop son's address and

phone number, that is supposed to NOT be easy to find. I also

checked another friend's name/address/phone number, who is

a local cop, and found that his is there also.

Please check your own and families' names on this. This is a

horrid breach of privacy, and far too easy for a stalker to

find his victim.

This is for real. You may want to check it out and follow up on this.

Beginning in (JULY '06) a new database will be available to the general

public free of charge that displays your personal information (names,

addresses, phone numbers, birth dates). (Soc. Sec. is available for a

price.) The database is found at http://www.zabasearch.com/ type in your

name and check .. you'll be SHOCKED as I was!

I urge you to forward this email to family and friends. Check to see if

your name and information is in their database. If so and you want it

removed, send them an e-mail at info@... to request it be

removed. I do not know how our names are appearing there, but I checked

my own and it was in this database!

After opting out by email, check back after a few days to make certain

your information has been removed. If it has not been removed then file

a complaint with your State's Attorney General.
