I have found the same thing on my name completely by acccident. First, last, (Maiden) and mothers maiden name. I have written them several times with no respones. I do not believe that I ever signed up for Reunion.com, and if I did ,I closed the account right away.I am very interested in a class action suit as well. This practice of reunion.com could cause me an identity theft at any time.

MYlife.com?/?/? I'm sorry, but I'm not understanding the name of their new site. Shouldn't their new site's name actually be MYliveS.com, I mean, since the owners of the site must be living all of our lives. They have all of everyone's PERSONAL info posted on their site as if it all belongs to them, and that it's all about them and their personal lives. Do you agree with what I'm saying or not?/?/?

So far today the Reunion.com site will not open. ??? Interesting development and just on the day that I was going to go in and remove my info if possible.

I have just signed on less than one hour ago and I am reading all these complaints,it's very upsetting. This company lured me in with the pretense that some was searching for me. I fully expected to find who the searcher was.After I paid to sign on.Nothing. Not one word.I wrote to them and they replied with the excuse that they cannot answer everyone's e-mail

I have never joined reunion.com and have never given it permission to use my information but it has all my family and my personal information for the public to see. This is ridiculously unacceptable! It's a total invasion of privacy!

I too never signed up with them and never put any of my personal information on the internet or anywhere else.
I suspect they are getting private records and aiding and abetting identity theft and criminal activity as well. I would suggest people start calling the Los Angeles DA, State legislators and sentator and making this a real issue. IT IS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY AND PUTS PRIVATE CITIZENS AT RISK....WHO IS PROTECTING US FROM THESE INFORMATION BROKERS THAT ARE HELPING TO COMPROMISE OUR SAFETY AND IDENTITY.

Frustrated — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 22:53:08 -0000

I have never heard of reunion.com before...just found it when I searched my name. I have NEVER given any personal information, have never been to their website and am VERY frustrated that so much of my personal information is there for the public without my permission! What do I need to do now?

I called the 800# to the reunion.com a few weeks ago and supposedly they removed my listing from their site promptly (within an hour). I had to give the person on the phone the last 2 addresses where I resided. This only suppresses my name from being shown on their website, but it will still indexed and shown as a cached (perhaps) web page on Yahoo. It doesn't show up at all on Google any more.

Now when I click on that LINK from Yahoo, there is nothing there on reunion.com's site about me. Although, when I do a search DIRECTLY from reunion.com's website on myself, it says that there is 1 possible match for me. It's possible I am still in reunion.com's directory listing. ??? I have a very unique name, so there's no chance that it is someone else. It could just be a come-on to get me to sign up.

I would hope and imagine over time that the link will on Yahoo falls off the next time Yahoo crawls the site. Who knows when that will be.

Possibly if you give them false info to try misleading them, they might get upset and post even more of your personal info. It might be best to just leave them alone, and certainly don't join, not even for the free time (you'd be confirming yourself with them if you join, even for just the free time they give, as you'd be confirming the info they already have on file is correct or somewhat anyways).

As I've already noted on this site, that I tried in an email to get them to remove my personal info file off their site, and they just posted more info on my profile.

Just leave them alone and don't join, and hopefully someone will start a class act against their site.

So what can a person do once they have your info?

How can you let friends know NOT to get involved if your email addresses are attached to their site?
Change your email address? But somehow they will get that...
Adjust your information on the site to mislead them? Does that work?
Any advice?

I agree, these aren't good sites to be on internet.

I didn't register with the site (as I've already mentioned), not even for the free time they allow.

Angry, that's horrible if they did get one of your addresses they have from the post office. Can't figure how they could have gotten it. Yes, I guess when you notify them to try to remove your info it must prompt them to get even more info about you, your family and so on. Really a horrible site, and could possibly be dangerous, as possibly could be making it easier to bring your personal info to the public, so therefore, easier to steal IDs, locating people who don't want to be found for some reason or rather (maybe person being by an old girlfriend or boyfriend or a person trying to start a new life, etc) etc. I agree, these arern't good sites to be on internet.

I too googled myself and found all of my information on reunion.com. One of the addresses that was listed for me was a friend's address that I had my mail forwarded to for only about a month. The only place I filed that address with was the Post Office. How would reunion.com have gotten that information? Thanks to everyone that posted. It appears that attempting to remove myself may just provide them with even more information. This is such a violation of privacy and needs to be stopped.

I have clicked to join Reunion because my good friend sent me the email. But now I have a headache that it continues sending garbage emails to my address book.

I didn't even join Reunion, and they have my (and also my family's) profile on their site.

I signed up for free with reunion.com 7 years ago, but didn't join as a paying customer. I just ignored their subsequent emails to me that "someone was searching for me." Until 2 months ago, I googled my name and found that they had posted my name, age and the city I live in, all without my consent or permission. It was the very first listing that came up on google for me! That is not the kind of information I would give to a stranger upon first meeting, let alone to the general public. I went to the reunion.com website and closed that "free account." But even after 2 months, that damned reunion.com listing with my name, age and city still appears on Google. I feel that my privacy has been violated by this company. And I hope this serves as a warning to other people to be careful about joining reunion.com and other websites of their ilk.

Well, they could be making it much earlier for people to steal people's idenity.

Here's a lawsuit for Reunion below:
