This is not a joke email, there are no funny pop-ups...

A website has been brought to my attention that may pose a risk. The
website is www.b4usearch.com and by clicking on 'People' and typing in
an individuals name and area it brings up their home address, phone
number, details of other members in the household, details of neighbours
in the same street and also directions to your home.

I would advise that if your details can be accessed via this website,
that you have them removed. To do this send an email to
privacy@b4u.co.uk and your request should be removed within 21 days if
they are not removed within this time you can complain to the
Information Commissioner's Office by sending an email to
compliance@ico.gsi.gov.uk

Please pass this on to others you may consider it is useful to....

Apologies if this is old hat, I didn't realise electoral role information was available like this.

(and on 192.com).

No, you are right Mark it is a huge concern these days with all the identity theft that is around. Good shout.

Is this so bad, you can find the same info from Yahoo, or the BT phone book or did it have more info than your "name, address and phone number"?
Are you ex-drectory?
