Harry Sachs Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The reason I ask is that, I have just had the press at my door. A family member was gunned down today but to be honest I couldn't care less about the guy, it was very much deserved. I asked one of them how they found out, but he said he pulled it from the family tree!! Is this even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Sorry for your loss, I heard on the radio about a shooting in Shotts. The Voters Roll or Experian would find you, especially if you have an unusual name. If you're called Campbell in Argyll then you would be more anonymous!

Supra Gaz Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Voters, experian. As above really, that's kinda it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Someone that had the same name as a guy that I worked with got kidnaped abroad a long time ago. The day the press found out about it they called up my work mates mobile asking if it was him O.o and then if he was related. They quite litrally went through all the phone books. I would say sorry for your loss but sounds like it wasn't much of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Sachs Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's a bit of a bold move tbh, chapping someones door hours after a relative has been popped, with the hope of getting a story and a picture lol. IS there no way that you can remove your details from any of the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 IS there no way that you can remove your details from any of the above? Yes: Don't complete the annual survey by the local council for Council Tax, Don't be over 16 and live in a Housing Association or Council house in Scotland, Don't have a bank account, credit card, store card, catalogue and exist only using cash. In other words, live outwith the 'system'. Easier to tell the press to feck off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'd hate to have the press all over me like that. Are they persistant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Sachs Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'd hate to have the press all over me like that. Are they persistant? To be fair to them, the guys were very pleasent and respected the fact that I didn't wish to comment. The only point in which they became ever so slightly pushy was when they were looking to obtain a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Sachs Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 The phone book? That's the thing though, I'm not in the phone book, I ain't on the voters role either, and I stay in a bought house. I'm thinking it's most likely to be Experian. Follow them home? It's how I meet my women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
