I don't wear a tin-foil hat, but I guess I've managed to stay off of whatever radar spokeo.com is using.srothstein wrote: As an aside to see what is available to you, go to http://www.spokeo.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and search for your own name. You will be surprised at what is available on the net already. I have not paid for their services to see my full record, but it may be scary for those who are not aware of data mining and what it can do.
I don't appear in any of the addresses I've been the last 10 years. I have a savings account, a checking account and a credit card at separate institutions and have a car loan in my name. Cell phone, electricity, water bills. Also have insurance (car, renter's, medical, dental, vision), 401k, etc. Member/convenience cards at every major grocery store.
I've purchased firearms from many dealers and once, picked up a Marlin .30-30 from Academy.
I'm sure my info is out there if someone really wanted to dig for it, but I'm not going to worry about a single firearms purchase from Academy. And if that is something you're worried about...just don't buy from them. Plain and simple.
