A FRIEND of mine on Face Book told me to ask you guys this question:

I went looking for some info on my Mom. I had typed in my Mom’s first and last (married) name in the Google search engine. I found her on about the 5th page in, up front and center WITH her SS printed clearly. Below that info was the link to the website that provided this information.

The website is http://www.faqs.org/people-search.
At the top is the alphabet. Say you’re looking for “Smith.” Click S. Then it takes you to other levels. When all is said and done, you find who you’re looking for, along with a million other people….and all of their SS numbers are included.

It just doesn’t seem right that people’s SS numbers are there for the whole world to view….especially the SS number of people who are deceased (because if their number is stolen, who would know?)

What do you guys think of this?

I want to reiterate…I didn’t find the info on my Mom by going to that website. The info was on the main website search pages, along with her SS number, and there was a link into the faqs.org there. But once your in there…man….
