FW: Fw: Important Privacy Issues ( PLEASE READ)

 

This is a little too close to " big brother " for me. Please note that there

are about 6 more web sites listed that offer the same service.Look closely,

as google lists thos other sites when you are removing your information from

their site.Just click on the " phone " icon to get started. This is extremely

DANGEROUS. Please tell all children (adults too for that matter) to NEVER

give out any information over the internet. It's too easy to track someone

down.
