There are countless people search sites out there, and we’ve been gathering them up into one mega post, complete with opt-out instructions. Tap or click here to remove yourself from these sites. For this week’s entry in our Opt-Out Tuesday series, we’ll show you how to remove yourself from Radaris.
Here’s the backstory
Don’t ever pay for any people search service. Most of these sites are scammy in nature. You may think you’re paying for one report and find that you’ve been roped into recurring charges. And never pay to remove your information from any site. This process must be provided for free. But be careful which links you click when opting out of people search sites. Links they provide are often ads that lead you to another site that requests payment. We’ll provide accurate links to remove yourself from these sites with each Opt-out Tuesday report. Do you have older relatives who may not know about these sites? While you’re opting out yourself, why not do the same for them? Just type in their information as you would your own, and follow our steps to completion. RELATED: Privacy tip: How to delete cookies from your phone
