How to remove yourself from TruePeopleSearch
TruePeopleSearch is a people-search site. Sites like this build listings from public records and purchased data, often with your address, age, phone number and relatives. Here's how to ask it to remove you, for free. You don't need Free My ID to do this.
What you'll need
- The web address of your listing on TruePeopleSearch (you find it by searching for yourself)
- A few minutes to open the email TruePeopleSearch sends and click its link. If you skip this, the request may not go through.
- A picture puzzle ("I'm not a robot") you solve yourself
Step by step
Search for yourself on TruePeopleSearch and open your listing.
Copy the web address of that listing.
Paste it on the removal page. A picture puzzle (captcha) appears; you must solve it.
Open the email they send and click its link within 24 hours.
Allow about 3 days, then check again.
Opens www.truepeoplesearch.com, TruePeopleSearch's own website.
We haven't been able to check these steps against TruePeopleSearch's live page yet. Sites change their pages often, so if something looks different, follow what the page says.
You should never have to pay to be removed. If a people-search site asks for money or your Social Security number, stop.
Or let Free My ID do it
Free My ID opens TruePeopleSearch's removal page in your own browser, with these steps beside it and a Copy button for each box. On sites that allow it, it can fill the boxes in while you watch. You tick any "I'm not a robot" box yourself. Then it checks again later, because sites can list people again.
