Subject: FW:My personal information is online - look for yours!
Hi, I'm real surprised but it actually works.
This is quite new, and with the Government and companies losing data
you really wonder what is going on next.
Due to the Freedom of Information act, in many countries its now
possible to see your own personal data online NOW!
The website asks for your full name, city, country and county where
you live, and the results really surprised me, I didn't know what
would be online but there I was.
How can governments lose so much data, and other stuff still be
online for all to see.
Its real spooky - have a look, you could be shocked!
Due to data protection acts in most countries it should be pretty
easy to get it removed.

Sometimes people give away too much information, especially
when on social networking sites to friends that they hardly know. Even with
the smallest amount of information it is possible to find out even more
information. If you have a persons date of birth, their first and second
names plus their address then you can start committing credit card fraud
with the minimal of effort.
Point them in the right direction, and save them a whole load of trouble.
