opt out system is used to gather more info

This site owns and operates TruthFinder com InstantCheckmate com Intelius com and USSearch com which means they also handle the opt outs for these sites However the opt out system doesn t work First of all right off the bat they want your email before they ll let go to the next step for opting out which is absurd and frankly I think it s just a way for them to gather email addresses Then you go to the next step and they want your name and birthday So first they require you to give them an email then they require you to give a birthday at this point it seems like this entire process is really just to gather information on you You then have to click save which won t actually save unless you give your middle name too see the ongoing trend here Next step they supposedly look up your info and guess what absolutely nothing comes up They claim if you give more info they might be able to find your listings Funny you don t need anything other than a name to use their regular search function and find your info but the opt out pretends they need more and more info Well I go ahead and put in an address just to see if anything will come up and guess what even still nothing comes up It s at this point that you realize the opt out is intentionally broken and all they are doing is trying to gather more information on you Extremely shady company that needs to be shut down --Update They ve slightly changed the opt out system where you now see your listing but they won t let you remove it unless you provide verified details It s like they had a meeting and said What can we do to reduce opt outs What s particularly ridiculous is what permission or verified details did they receive from the person trying to opt out to post this information in the first place Zilch absolutely nothing This is just your typical dark pattern garbage intentionally making opt out as difficult and convoluted as possible PeopleConnect is a terrible company that knows exactly what they are doing and they need to be shut down immediately
