It appears they pull from public records IMO. They have an address on record that I never lived at full time or said I lived at on Facebook but that was an address on my driver's license (my dad's).

No one give them your money.

Maybe your identity has been stolen. Your public records might have been contaminated with someone else's data. It happened to a girl I know and she couldn't close on her house because she had so many liens against her. I would nip this in the bud before it hurts you and your reputation.


Is this just a REALLY sophisticated spam thread? Are you advertising for this site?


Ha, this is the first time in a long while that someone accused me of being sophisticated - thank you! I never said that you should pay this fake site money, I merely suggested that they nip this problem in the bud before it gets out of hand. Contamination of public records is at best a nuisance. At worst, it can prevent you from getting a job (criminal record, etc). Same for credit records.

All of this data exists in databases owned by a handful of companies and no one has any incentive to care that it is clean and accurate - except for you. Why do you think the Equifax breach turned the security world upside down? You can ruin a person's data records with just their name now. Look how much this little fake site knows about you with just your name.







But the way to check this is by pulling your credit reports. If there's inaccurate information there, you should be concerned.

Yeah I don't see a FB correlation...


+1 I'm out there and I don't have FB. I also don't fill out surveys.

I am on facebook, but my info is not on Mylife.com I have the same last name as my husband (we've been married 20 years.) When I look myself up by my maiden name, my info is all there. Except it says "info pending" for my income, networth, ethnicity, and religion. It also states that I have no children--but I have 4, and the oldest is 18, so it's not like that's a recent development!

But yeah, it has my current and several former addresses, former phone numbers, the names of my parents and siblings, my birthdate, etc.

I don't have a FB but it has a good bit of info. on me but only about 50% is correct.

I love how it tries to entice me to buy the full report to see my criminal record, which I do not have.

I wonder if they just use criminal results by last name. If so, I'm sure a lot popped up because of my sibling...

Here's the page where they describe how they get your information:

Yes, they use your social media accounts, but they also use your credit card info, your IP address and "other tracking technologies".

PP - how far off was the income/net worth???

If my XH’s income and net worth is even HALF of what’s listed, he’s a liar and a bad person.

Doesn't pull from Facebook because my life thinks I'm a single gle man. I'm actually a married woman; they have the income wrong as well.

I googled a relative and it said they were Asian when they are not. It's funny.

It has no info on me at all. Only two other people with the same name.

I got a poor reputation score. Then I paid the six buck and got a great reputation score. Thanks OP!

I looked myself up- they were wrong about my salary and marital status. It also said I had a criminal record, which I don’t.

I just looked myself up. It lists the wrong religion, says I’m married when I’m not and gives a huge range for possible income. It also lists my parents, who died 20 years ago. Oh, and it says I’m Middle Eastern, when I’m European-American. So much misinformation that I can’t imagine anyone would use this as a credible source.

I'm not on there and I have Facebook. I'm actually not anywhere except Facebook if I search my name. My previous married name comes up, but we divorced 8 years ago. It's kind of odd.

I know there are predictive models to guess your income based on a combination of public records - age, gender, zipode, etc. So they aren't necessarily getting credit reports or Facebook data.

I looked up myself. They list relatives who aren't my relatives, a criminal record, etc. My credit report is clear, but I wonder if I should be concerned about this false information on the MyLife site.
