  This company advertises as a free reverse phone listing directory but when you get to the listing they apply a charge to their free service so unless you subscribe to expensive monthly fees you get nothing!

  Complaint: 18555460
  
  I am rejecting this response because:The complaint is that I attempted to use the"reverse" phone number look up for free as advertised but after the number was identified the cite required a fee to see the result. How can there be a fee to use it free? It is false advertising just to get people to try it and at the end they ask for a fee!

  I was very shocked to find out that white pages have my current address on their website. I left my ***************** to move to my current address because of all the harrising phone calls I was getting on my house phone, which the caller informed me they got off the internet. I had that taken care by you and now I am feeling very Afraid of being stalked at my current adress. I even changed my house number several time's since moving and now white pages are offering anyone to pay and get my cell.phone number. I am deathly afraid and have anxiety because of my information on white pages. Please have them remove my information. For I fear I may e attacked and left for dead because of the information they have of me on their website. Thank you.***********************************-*******

  This company somehow acquired my personal information without my consent and makes it easily available through a search engine. In their takedown form, they request that you provide them with additional information on top of the information they already have.

  Several years ago, I suppressed my information in the Whitepages.com site. I jumped through their hoops to have the information removed. And it was removed.Today I found that my information had been reinserted. Why?I did not put time parameters on my suppression request. I wanted my information suppressed FOREVER. What part of forever do the people at Whitepages.com not understand or grasp? This is a creepy company.
