FAQ

What is PeopleLooker?

PeopleLooker is one of the largest data broker websites that you can find on the internet. It includes the personal records of thousands of people. They include full name, current phone number, past phone numbers, current address, past addresses, social media profiles, misdemeanors, criminal records, relatives, acquaintances, property records, work-related information, and sex offender status.

By making a payment of $1 to the website, anyone can uncover more information about a person. They include tax liens, bankruptcies, marriage information, divorce information, licenses, and background reports. Having all this data about you on the internet would increase the likelihood of being subjected to stalking, identity theft, fraud, phishing attempts, doxing, and discrimination. Hence, you should get your data removed from PeopleLooker as soon as possible.
