I have over 900 business and friends contacts in my email, which it imported all of, without giving me an option to choose anyone. It’s all or nothing. So needless to say, I spent nearly an hour deleting records I never wanted after they were all imported.

Then it pulls up all sorts of information–like one of my friends has a naughty book on Amazon she wants to read, as well as a recent order for more underwear. These aren’t the sorts of things I want or need to know. Seriously.

After 30 minutes of looking through the friends I wanted to keep track of, I decided that Spokeo must be in league with the NSA, because nobody else could possibly want that much information about people.

Creepy. Seriously creepy at this point.

Oh, and when it scans for contacts from your address book, IT SPAMS THEM ALL AND SAYS THAT SOMEBODY WAS LOOKING FOR YOU ON SPOKEO.

Seriously, I didn’t try it to spam and spy on my friends. If that’s what it continues to be, I’ll never use it again. And I’ll encourage others not to as well.
