Hey guys, today I'm going to show you how you can remove yourself from multiple online databases.
The first thing you need to do is go to each one of the websites listed in the description for this
video. There are multiple of them here. I've got six different places that you can remove your
information. One is your phone number, others are online public databases that cover actually
multiple databases. So different things like the email database, address, phone numbers,
all of that kind of stuff. We'll go over each one in detail on how to remove your information from
the public record in case that you don't want to be found online. So this is the first one. It is
the National Do Not Call Registry. Just go to do not call dot gov. You can type any of this in
Scroll down, it shows you all of the things you need to know right here. So it's basically
most telemarketers won't call your number after about 31 days, so it's about a month
after you put your phone number in that you will still receive phone calls and then after one month
it'll be pulled off. And then if you still receive them after a month, you can go right here and hit
submit a complaint and then put in who's calling you xyz and then that will kind of have the
government contact them and say hey quit calling this guy. So first thing you can do is hit register
a phone number and in case you if you didn't remember or maybe you registered your phone
number a while ago, you can hit verify registration to see if your phone number is already in this
database. So if it isn't, most people it's not, just hit start here, register a phone number,
then it brings you up to this. It's like a double opt-in, so you can either verify if you've
registered previously or you can register a new number. Go ahead and hit register here.
Now you can enter up to three phone numbers per email address and then hit submit. You'll have
to check your email after that and open the link within three days to verify that you want your
phone number is removed. So you can just type in phone number one, phone number two, phone number
three, or just one or whatever, then your email address and confirm it. Once you're done you hit
submit. They will send you an email and again you need to open that email, click on the link to
verify you want your phone numbers removed. Now should you have more than three phone numbers
you'd like to be removed, just go ahead and enter in another email address. So you can have you know
three phone numbers per one email. You could try using the same email every time but just you know
most people have multiple email addresses. Use it and remove yourself from the telemarketers list.
Okay so the next place we are going to go is the people search from Intellius. Now if we hover over
here it shows you billions of public records instantly, search free now. This is literally
billions of public records. It has places from criminal records, identity records, it has email,
phone numbers, address, previous address, all kinds of stuff like that. So the first thing you need to
do is because they run strictly through courthouses, public records, DMV databases, everything like that,
what you do is you upload your driver's license. So take a picture of it, scan it, whatever you can do,
browse and attach your photo here. Now they want you to cross out your photo and your driver's
license number. All they need is your name and address. Whatever is on that form of identification,
that information, that address and listing will be what they scan their database and remove. So if you
have an old ID with an old address and a new ID with your new address, do them both. Not at the
same time, you have to do them separately. Then you can throw in your email address which is optional.
I would recommend it, that way you will get an email confirmation when you are indeed opted out.
Then after that you can throw in some additional information. This is optional but I highly
recommend doing it. Just put in something like, I would like to be removed from the public databases
because, come up with a reason. You moved, you are in some bad situation, got a new job and it requires
under the radar, you're in the military, whatever. Put something down in there just so they can
verify that it's for real. Then go down here and type in the two words that you have right here.
Hit submit opt-out. That is it. That is how you will remove yourself from the Intellius database.
And again, the link for this will be down in the description or you can just copy it from right
here, read it off and put it in. Okay, now the next one we are going to go to is PeopleFinders.
This is, again, another huge database for all kinds of records that you will want to remove
yourself from. So what you do is you go to this place here, this website. Again, it will be down
in the list but in case you want to know it's peoplefinders slash about slash help. The link
will be down in the description. Just click on it there. It will be brought directly to this page.
Go ahead and hit contact us and you want to go through these and select the one that says how
do I remove my information from your website. In case you don't want to remove, you know,
you can ask them all kinds of different questions. Where do you get it? How can I update it?
But for this purpose, how do you remove it? Then what you need to do is it says to remove
your information from the website, please click here. You can also hit this contact customer
care button as well. So for now, we'll just hit click here. Then what you need to do is find your
listing because they need to know what you want removed. So we're just going to do a fake one
here. We're going to do John Smith and we're going to do it in Atlanta, GA. Find my listing.
Okay, now it'll scan all of the databases and let's say it's this guy right here.
So what you would do is you'd hit this is me. We can just click on it because it won't
remove it yet. And then you can choose how your public information will be displayed.
So you can either keep showing it or you can opt it out. So what you'll want to do, obviously,
for the purpose of this video is just click opt out and then it'll confirm and you will be opted
out. If it's not you, you can start over. That will remove it from all of these different places
here. Then in about a week, you can go back to all these databases and type in your information,
see if it's opted out. If it isn't, follow the steps again. So once you're done with
PeopleFinders, we'll click on PeopleSmart. Now this one is a multiple directory listing.
So it has more than one. It's like PeopleSmart is like a database of seven different databases.
So it's like with phone books, you'd have, you know, decks and smart pages and all these
different ones. PeopleSmart is like a combination of all the different phone books. So to do this,
you first need to find your listing, just like in this one right here, PeopleFinders. So
PeopleSmart and PeopleFinders are, I think they might be related, but they're two different
databases. As you can see from the, we'll close this one and see here, there's no security deal.
This one here, it has an inflection.com incorporated. Okay. So anyway, what you want
to do again, type in your name. So we'll use John Smith once more. And then location,
Atlanta, Georgia, find my listing. And it searches through their seven or so or however many
different databases, and it will pull up your information. And here it is. So we'll just say
it's this guy right here. That's the one. Then who are you opting out? So you can do this for
anyone you want, yourself, family member, or someone else. So do it as yourself, hit submit.
And then what you need to do is enter in your email and confirm that email and verify it,
because that will confirm that you want that listing removed from this database. So you enter
in your email, I'm not a robot, send the verification, click on the link, and your
information will be removed. Okay. After that, you'll want to go to this one here. This is Spokio.
This is again, a database of multiple different places. And it's super simple, spokio.com slash
privacy. Again, link in the description. Once you're there, you can see where they get all
their stuff, phone books, real estate, online maps, social networks, surveys, all kinds of
different places, everything public. They index it and conglomerate it into a database. To remove
yourself, use this opt out form on the bottom. So click that. And again, they need to know what
profile to remove. So you will have to go to the normal spokio.com website and find yourself on
there by typing in your name. Then once you find your listing, you will simply copy the URL and
paste it right here. So here they have a sample for you, profile URL slash Smith sample Houston
TX profile number. Okay. So that's what it should look like. Paste it right there. Put in your email
address here, select that you're not a robot and remove the listing. They will send you an email
confirmation that you will need to confirm. And then your listing will be removed from the Spokio
database and all of the other databases that they maintain. After that, we will go to the
white pages. This is a phone book of the internet. So to get here, you just go to the secure dot
white pages.com slash me suppressions page. Again, address will be in the item description.
Click on it. You will be brought to white pages.com. It is a login screen. So you need to
either log in or create an account. This makes sure that you are a real person who wants your
profile removed. Once you create an account, you will be brought to this direct page, which is
copy and paste the URL of your profile here, exactly like Spokio. So you can have to go to
the main white pages.com type in your name, you know, John Smith city, Atlanta, Georgia, find it,
click on it, copy the URL here from the address bar. And they have an example for you. So name
again, John Smith, Seattle, Washington, and then the number, paste it there and hit opt out. Now,
since you are already logged in, you have, there's no need to confirm your email or anything.
They will send you a confirmation that it has been opted out and then you will be good to go.
Once you have done all of these, about a week or two weeks later, you can go back on each one of
these websites and search for your information. If it is still there, go ahead and opt it out again
and wait a few more days, check it out. Chances are within two to three weeks, you will be
completely removed from multiple online databases. Any place like even yellowpages.com,
even though we didn't remove it specifically from yellowpages.com, a lot of these places
retrieve and communicate with other places like that. There are other spots online. I'm sure
there's like phonebook.com, email.com. You can get all of these databases that you could remove
yourself from individually. Or if you do these six, you will be pretty much taken care of on
all of the databases. So do these six, wait a couple weeks, find out how it went. Any questions,
comments, concerns, go ahead and post them in the comments section under the video. Also check out
the Facebook group. You can post them there. And that is how you can remove yourself from
multiple online databases to become sort of invisible online. Alright, good luck. Until next
time.
