And it’s probably more than you’re comfortable having out there:
…This is why I do not use my real name online unless it’s absolutely necessary, i.e. in making a purchase. And even with that? Even with my legendary extreme paranoia?—Yeah. They got me. They got me good.
Haah. It’s only a matter of time, obvs, but I was hugely relieved by my own results. They had my house address and my house phone number (terrible!!!) but not my cell. They knew my parents, and knew my parents were in their 50s… but think I’m in my 80s. Also I’m married with kids, like sports and don’t care about politics. They also think my mom “has elderly parents” when in reality she was orphaned in 1977.
But… they know how much our house is worth. They know we have a pool. And they know that my mom loves reading. In fact, except for the “elderly parents” (which may, bizarrely, be me— since I’m apparently eighty)… they know a lot. An awful lot.
I think I’m going to tell my mom to ask to be removed, too.
