Spokeo make use of an algorithm to search public databases and return the results to one centralized place, making it easy for their users to use. This means that the information will only be as accurate as the manner in which the source databases are maintained.

According to Arkansas Deputy Attorney General Jim DePriest, consumers are taken aback by the nature of the personal identifiable information that is available on them on services such as Spokeo. Many consumers feel that their privacy has been invaded by making these services public.

While many users may make use of these services with legal intentions in mind, it is a fact that fraudsters are continuously prowling the Internet looking for means and ways to defraud people. Are these services creating a platform for fraudsters to commit their offences with lesser effort?

We headed off to Spokeo and conducted a free search. We were amazed at the information made available on individuals, without paying the monthly fee! One of the results that could be obtained is a wealth meter on individuals. What better tool exists for criminals to choose their targets?!
