Problem: AboutEveryone.com

This site is an anonymous posting page. You can type in a facebook or twitter profile, and then find out what people have anonymously said about you. Then, the site says if you pay $19.99, you can have your stuff removed.

Now, when I naively looked myself up, it said I'm cheating, cannot be trusted, and to "be aware." I panicked and defended myself. Then I looked to see if there was a Page about it on Facebook.

Here is that page:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Petition-to-prevent-AboutEveryonecom-from-posting-anonymously-about-you/171857616196290?sk=info

At this time, it only has 340 members.

I posted about my "comments." Then, many other people posted that they had the exact same comments. I also found a link to the ic3.gov page to file a complaint, which I did.

There's another problem. The owner is Chris Poole. I don't know if this is true, but I have read that he has a good relationship with Facebook AND ic3.gov, which then essentially makes it really difficult, if not impossible, to get this off the internet.

This website is a problem in so many ways. Personal rights, privacy, extortion, ruining of reputations, bullying, relationships, etc. It is downright evil.

Please LIKE this Page on Facebook...let's get AboutEveryone.com off the internet!
