Give me a break. The information is publically available anyhow.
I looked up Steven Sobol ...
Among others, I found Steven J. Sobol at 2000 Cottage Grove Drive, Cleveland, OH, 216-397-9396.
That's an old address and phone number of mine. It was listed in the phone book. Note that the street sign at Cottage Grove and Cedar Road actually says Cottage Grove *Avenue*, which is the correct street name, but I listed myself with the phone company at 2000 Cottage Grove
*Drive* because at the time, that's what I thought was correct (the big street sign hadn't gone up yet, and the signs on the poles didn't say "avenue" or "road" or "drive" on them back then). So this listing is obviously from the phone company's database ...I also found myself at 26241 Lake Shore Boulevard, Euclid, Ohio. 216-289-6586.
I was also in the phone book when I was listed there.
My current address and phone number, which we have chosen not to make available in the phone book, isn't listed, and I've lived in Apple Valley, California for two years now.
Background searches are available to anyone paying for them, not just over the web either; employers routinely run background checks. I've had to do background and drug tests for several organizations I've worked for recently.
That is my impression too.
