I have found that the accuracy of these sites is atrocious. What they could find of me was so incomplete... totally shocking. As for the relative list. Some are and many are not my relatives. Someone just doing a Google search using my name would find a lot more information (such as I have several State of Wisconsin Licenses (ones that are not easy to get - and one of them obviously requires a criminal background check); have presented papers at professional conferences, own businesses, etc.)
They don't even locate the legal records that a simple court record search would find on me (in Wisconsin there is a state wide system for court record search). There's nothing unusual, criminal, or wrong with my court records. Anyone involved in business for any length of time ends up being involved in a court case sooner or later (not to mention the time I was the victim of a crime). But, its amazing that the so called sites that claim to search court records cannot find what is freely available in our state court record search system.
My best guess is they work off of phone records, and certain other "soft" sources where accuracy is not required at all.
IIN sites like Spokeo have me listed as a male when I'm a female?
