For years, I could pull up a stranger’s home address, cell number, and the names of their relatives in about a minute. It was part of my job in healthcare staffing, and we used data brokers to track down the prospects we wanted to reach. And I was always surprised by how much information they could provide for a small fee.
I later worked in fraud prevention, and I learned exactly what someone can do with your name, your address, and your date of birth.
Then I began making videos as a creator, and I became a target. My identity was stolen. I’ve received threats on my life because some folks didn’t like what I was saying.
And I’ve learned that most people don’t know that data brokers can legally collect your personal information and sell it to anyone online with a credit card.
I’ve been using DeleteMe, and when they asked me to partner with them on this sponsored video, I said yes because I’ve seen the results. The very first report they provided to me showed 83 instances of my data exposed, which they have removed, and they keep scanning and removing all year, because these sites find a way to put your information right back up. When I’ve had questions, I’ve called DeleteMe and talked to real people.
DeleteMe has been doing this for over 15 years. Removing your data from these sites helps protect you from the risks of identity theft, stalking, and harassment.
