I googled my family members, and clicked the link regarding it and it had TONS of info on my whole family!! Here’s my story:

I made a fake email and signed up, then claimed my “dad’s” profile, which required me to answer questions to prove it was mine, and the questions were about my OLD HOME ADDRESSES. Even one that i haven’t been to since i was in elementary school, which of course I couldn’t remember. So guess what, I HAD UNLIMITED chances to try to get it in (from multiple choices that never randomized) I finally got it and I changed what info I could, like where we live currently, number etc.

I couldn’t get more and I happened to have a friend who got suckered before me (how I heard about it in the first place), and she looked up the name and it had ALL sorts of stuff I barely knew about my dad myself such as his past marriage over 35 years ago (I’m 22) old jobs, ugh! What’s worse is that there are multiple accounts for my mom, my sister and another one for my dad. If I truly have to pay to change the important stuff, I’m looking at 300 dollars mim. I’m going to do whatever power I have and get this place shutdown… Of course I’m sure it’s on other websites as well… What’s the use?

@Dare That may be so, but for something that said it was free and charges you 107.00 I don't think it is worth that much. I don't know where my head was when I gave them my CC info.

Thanks for posting the article. I’ve seen the ads online and on television, and the service ALMOST seemed compelling. Thought I would check out what the buzz was on the service online, and I found all this great information to warn me. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity the easy and inexpensive way!

Further more, I cannot even to to mylife.com. I just tried it. It comes back an error. Does anybody know what it going on. Is the website shut down? I think someone should start a class action suit! Are there any attorneys out there who are also victims of this or would like to start a claim.

After deleting MyLife account I have been trying numerous time to unsubscribe to the constant spam emails from MyLife. When I click on Unsubcribe the page never loads. Says there is an error. I have been trying for over a month to unsubcribe but no luck. Who do I complain to? Isnt this against the law?

I think myLife is bad news for every one. What if you don’t want your information publicly available to everyone? What if you’d rather not find anyone and not be found by anyone? What if you just wanna be left alone? What I don’t understand is how is this company making people’s information available on the internet without their consensus? Is that even legal? If person X does not sign up myLife, what right does myLife have to publish any and all information about person X? Is that not invasion of privacy and interference into someone’s personal life? I think its time for people to join hands and go the class action law suit path.

it said to post my name ( this is not mylife ) so i didnt cuz im not sure. moving on to mylife. i read all the comments and seen the commercials. it seems like a scam and for stalkers. whatever you decide, i recommend not joining. its says FREE and you pay for adresses, memberships to buy ADRESSES and other crap. its not worth it. if you sign up and then see if people are looking for you, and you dont know anyone that age or something similar, they are either testing(not likey) or are stalking you. you probably already have an account if you didnt sign up, because as it says in some of the comments they find all your relitives and their relitives etc. and if you go onto that account, it confirms you are an actual person. so they they can publish it. there should be a law, but i guess that the goverment figures common sense. they shouldnt even been going on the scam of a “free” website. Account = free, search on account = GIVE US CREDIT CARD. it also says in above comments that they want your social security number, your phone # and other things such as adresses and birth dates. In one of the comments it says that they got a notification somone is looking for them. They said it turns out to be their dead fiancee. so, goes to prove, your name may be being used by someone else right this very minute. creepy thought.

Next point. does it seem safe? people seem so. on commercials it looks safe, and they say its FREE! nope. probably says http, not https, like this website. which of course means they can pobably sell the email you gave them, so, give out fake things. unless you want certain things which they send to your email. Example: On toontown, they say if you want to type instead of speedchat, you must go into options of something, and they send it to your parents email. of course, i trust disney. i dont trust disneymovierewards. they sell your email. back to my point. that is the only reason i give emails out. i dont even have a youtube account. Sad, huh? moving on ( sorry i get off topic ). that was the example. so really, if you trust these websites, you might as well cancel your bank account. you are getting scammed.

most likely anyway. i havent signed up. i was goining to tonight, but i wanted to make sure it wasnt a scam. im glad i did. this is pretty long, so im gonna go. DONT SIGN UP.

Mylife.com is a complete scam and rip off. It was created by a once-modest, happily married guy whose ego has flown past the sun. He divorced his wife, he’s is a complete player and now preys on people’s vulnerabilities on this site. Cancel your account and stick to FB and classmates.com.

I have been fighting MyLife for months. I had a person stalking me and my family. All my information was on this site. I have yet to understand how to remove it.
It says to click “This is me”on your account and it will delete all information. I have no “This is me”. I have tried to change my name and information, email addresses but they keep everything. They show every alias that I have tried to fool them with and have my relatives and contacts on each account. I have finally purchased the service of a company to remove my name from this site but when it is removed, it resurface. You don’t have to be on the web to have your information on these Search sites. If you have ever place an order with some companies, they will sell your information to MyLife. If you don’t believe that you or your child is on MyLife then click on their site. You will learn things about yourself that you never knew.. You would be surprised at the relatives that you will have required, some that are dead or never lived.. If you want to see just how bad this search engine is,make a false account.. Look that name up and you will be promised to give all the information from birth for that false person and you will pay for it. You don’t have to join it just give them information and they will keep it, after all they don’t care if it is true, maybe someone will buy it..

I’m trying to figure out how they got the names of myself and immediate family members. I never signed up for an account nor do I think a family member has. I read through the FAQs and while it says one can delete one’s public profile, it does say any information they have is a matter of public record. So Effun What! I did not create an account so other people could find me. I’m not interested in other people finding me. Nonetheless, in order to delete the public profile, I have to login and click on some link and follow directions. Ok, so now I have to create an account to remove my public profile. That kinda like clicking a link in Phishing scam or an “subscribe” feature. Once you respond, you just validated your existence and whatever else Personally Identifiable Information revealed. Effun Jerks! Well, this issue is dead. Last post was 43 days ago. MyLife.com is safe and secure. Good night princess ….
