Anyone hear of Zaba people Search data base?

I received an email from my son saying that all of his recent and past info was listed on it. He went to it and opted out. Is it a legit site?

1. www.zabasearch.com

I don't know what you mean by legit but it certainly does sift through public records and "find" people.

2. Dunno, it works well.

http://zabasearch.com./

Easy way to find people.

3. I use it instead of a phone book.

A lot of my friends fear it. It's the best I've seen. I don't know whether that is good or bad.

I actually found a long lost friend from elementary school. She had a most unusual first name and I didn't know the last name.

4. My theory is -- the "zabasearch" list is like a phishing device --

people who send the information they want "removed" are providing REAL information to zaba that might be hard to get otherwise --

If you read all the way through the article at the Snopes site, the zaba info is not all that surprising, just stuff most of us have out there in cyberspace --

But the tone of the "Oh This Is Terrible" e-mail and all the detail about opting out make me think the e-mail was originally generated by the Zaba people, phishing for valid info submitted by the searchees themselves.

This e-mail has been making the rounds for some time already.

5. Thanks

I was thinking the same thing. If you opt out that would give them additional info. It is like getting spam faxes. The more I opted out the more I got. It was like giving them my number.

6. They have me listed six times.

3 entries for where I live now, one for where I lived five years ago, one for ten years ago, and one for 18 years ago.

7. I had a CLE on civil discovery, and zabasearch was recommended

by one of the presenters as a great way of tracking down debtors.

8. I couldn't find how to opt out, any direct link that your son could provide?

Thanks in advance!!

9. Yeah, I'd like to know that too!

10. I have not gone into the site

The opt out must come up once you put your name in....I will email him and ask. I will get back in a while with the info.
