When my name was googled, my home address, my partner's name popped up. Although these may well be public information, they are brokering my personal information along with my name search. I am getting scam calls and getting harassments from cash buyers as well as real estate agents for their business.
This is a violation of my privacy.

BlockShopper.com Fraudulent misrepresentation on website

Blockshopper.com is fraudulently listing an ownership that is inaccurate. This property is owned by IDA LLC. They need to correctly list the ownership or take it down. I want them to contact me immediately at [protected]@cox.net.

Despite numerous emails and calls they have continued to incorrectly publish false information on their Block Shopper website. I am the legal manager for this LLC and I am demanding that they take this listing down immediately.

I will expect this listing to be removed no later than September 15, 2020.

BlockShopper.com Owners sister inlay

The only way to have your information removed in my expeirince is to reach out to his relative Gretchen Kren. I called and spoke to her and explained my situation and that its impossible to reach anyone at blockshopper.com and if she can please reach out to Brain Timpone (owner) regarding my situation and sure enough she called me back a few days later notifying me that my information would be removed.

Edward "coach" Weinhaus and Brian Timpone (Blockshopper's owners) are crooks who profit from selling your private information without your consent. The person who replies to emails goes by the name Scarlett Simpton, but her real legal name is Scarlett Melinda Chapman. Some of their associates are: Timothy Landon, Timothy O'Neil and Robert Navarre. These people have zero respect or concern for your safety and privacy. They refuse to remove your information from their website, even in extreme cases when your safety is clearly at risk. They don't give a crap about the consequences to anyone. Just greedy, selfish a-holes that couldn't care less about the welfare of others. It doesn't come as a surprise that Brian Thomas Timpone is the son of disgraced & disbarred attorney Leonard T Timpone who filed for bankruptcy in 2005. Edward "coach" Weinhaus aka Edward Andrew Weinhaus aka Edward Weinhaus is a deadbeat parent who barely see his children and spent years arguing in court about not giving his wife and 6 kids any money. He pretends to be an expert in crypto currency, but his own crypto currency business was dissolved in less than a year. Sounds like the wannabe crypto investor started buying bitcoins in 2017 right before the bitcoin crashed. LOL Must be sad to be them.

I guess Edward's his cryptocurrency business didn't do so well since it was dissolved in 2017 a little after starting it. Did the brilliant crypto investor start buying bitcoin in 2017 right before it crashed? LOL:

Coach Weinhaus the rabblerouser?

https://coachforged.com/#cooc

didn't he sue the crud out of blockshopper and those lawyers - he got a court order that they had to have him let him run their podcast?

https://www.alabseries.com/episodes/episode-27-coach

Is that why we complain anonymously here? I can assure you Coach - I mean you no harm! You are the rocker of worlds.

This is AWESOME!Brian Timpone and his ugly [censored] wife are currently selling their home at 1725 North Dayton Street, Chicago IL 60614. Today's date is September 14th. Maybe we should go to their house and take pictures and put them up on line and spit on their stuff while we're at it!

Brian timpone and patricia timpone (blockshopper's owners) are crooks who profit from selling your private information without your consent. The person who replies to emails goes by the name scarlett simpton, but her real legal name is scarlett melinda chapman. Some of their associates are: timothy landon, timothy o'neil, robert navarre and edward weinhaus. These people have zero respect or concern for your safety or privacy and they refuse to remove your information from their website, even in extreme cases. There are many documented cases where people are victims of violent stalkers and the owners refused to honor their request to remove their address and name from their scummy site. They don't give a crap about the consequences to anyone. Just greedy, selfish a-holes that couldn't care less about the welfare of others. It doesn't come as a surprise that brian thomas timpone is the son of disgraced & disbarred attorney leonard t timpone who filed for bankruptcy in 2005. Brian will soon end up like his father considering all the legal troubles he has amassed over the years.

Interestingly enough, they don't even list their own properties located at 922 lathrop ave, river forest, il 60305-1449, 7141 n kedzie ave apt 601, chicago, il 60645-5808 and 705 daniel ln, willard, mo 65781-8321on blockshopper.com. But everyone else - and every other property is ok to list? I guess privacy and security is a right only reserved to them.

BlockShopper.com Personal information

What a terrible site! They don't respect other peoples privacy and they are truly horrible!
I contacted Blockshopper many times and asked them to remove my personal information like name and address from their site and got nothing but empty promises. They said sure but did not remove anything and all my personal information is still available on their site.
That is not right way to do a business, they should respect their users more! I'm planning to remove my business from their site because I don't want to deal with them in the future!

BlockShopper.com Revolting company that destroys privacy & safety

This company is truly horrific.
I keep to myself and keep my internet impact very low. There are very few results that return when you Google my name. Until Blockshopper. I was so happy to buy my very first home last year. However, Blockshopper decide to rain on that parade by taking my full name and posting it along with my full private home address on the internet.
Now, if a stranger or person with malicious intent decides to Google my name, they get my full address on a nice easy to find platter!
I have obviously emailed "Scarlett" (apparently a fake name, may not ever be a real person as all answers to my emails seems to be computer generated) and implored her to simply change my last name to my last initial so I could have SOME security in my home. Blockshopper claims that wanting to feel safe in your own home isn't a good enough reason to have your last name shortened on the website.
I even explained to her that my mentally ill mother (who has threatened to harm me and my property on multiple occasions) has recently Googled me and found out where I live. Wonderful! I have been HIDING from her for years, and now she knows exactly where I live - all thanks to Blockshopper.
This company does not care at ALL about the general population's safety and well-being. They refuse to do something that would take away nothing from the purpose of their site (change my last name to my initial, I told them I don't care if the price I paid is up, etc). They would rather maintain that their site is "legit" than be decent and show some concern for another human being.

BlockShopper.com They stole money and my person details

The company www.Blockshopper.com broke the law. Someone must stop these liars. I haven’t had any deals or purchased anything through them, but one day they got the access to my account and stole money. As well as they started to post my details on their website. It was illegal action. However, if you complained they didn’t react. Do be careful and share this information. It might be very useful.

BlockShopper.com refuse to opt out

Block shopper created a special web page for me and my spouse which are published for the world to see without our permission. Our right for privacy have been violated.
For the past year we have been sending emails requesting to remove us from block shopper advertising, but we are not having any success. We also requested from county records to seal our records and we had no success either. We understand that this info is public record, but still we don't wish to have our name advertised on the web with such an easy access for the world to see, we long for privacy.
We are very disturbed and feel very unsafe and we are very scared because this private information puts us at risk for identity theft We understand that it's a public info, but still there's a big difference on having such an easy access to it on the web compare to going to the public record offices.

All other web sites kindly removed our information upon request, but Block shopper is refusing to remove our info.

this company collects real estate data and publishes it along with personal information including current and past address without the subjects consent. this company is exposing the people who's data they publish to unwanted calls, inquiries, identity theft and stalkers at a minimum. this company should not be in business and i hope someone can do something about this.

Re:Wednesday, May 4, 2011 2:34 PM
From: "Rob Biedermann" View contact detailsTo: "kenneth gilgoff" Kenneth, is this English that you write? I can't understand you. We don't remove addresses or names. If you find it necessary, please contact your Senator or Attorney General. Have a nice day.
From: "Scarlett Simpson" View contact detailsTo: "kenneth gilgoff" We abide by all local, state and federal laws in regards to privacy and the first amendment. You can contact the county in which you reside. If they are willing to remove you from the public record your information will drop off our database during our next update from your county.
I will do exactly that I sent my senator an email from them saying this. They can not argue freedom of speach because they have no right going to public records and publishing it. I am asking each one of you to write your senator and advise him or her of this. Maybe we can bring a class action suit agaignst them. Follow me pleaee The hell with them.

BlockShopper.com Violation of Privacy

I was made aware of the fact that a company called Blockshoppers uses search engines like Google to expose information from public records, making anyone's personal information like home address, EASILY accessible to ANYONE who knows how to use Google. They claim to have an opt-out process, but it is not true. I have tried to go through it, and still got my request denied. They claim to only post public records, which are already available to everyone. While that may be true, their service is the only one that allows a simple Google search by a person's name make available very personal information. By doing so, Blockshoppers puts lives at risk, and should be shut down.

BlockShopper.com Attempted to gather personal data

After I noticed that a real estate transaction that I was a party to in recent years popped up on a Google search of my name within a private for profit web site known as Blockshoppers.com, I contacted Blockshoppers to request that my information be redacted from their private web pages as Google had instructed me to so do. Blockshopper does not allow contact by telephone as Blockshopper guards THEIR privacy while prostituting mine. Communication with Blockshopper is by e-mail only. Scarlett Simpson who’s e-mail address is [protected]@blockshopper.com offered nothing more than frustrating avoidance, lame excuses and absurd logic which lead me to think that one of us suffers from dementia. Multiple e-mails resulted in Blockshopper’s agent attempting to gather highly sensitive data from me for what I can only assume is a no-good purpose.

Happened to me and lots of others as well. These guys are raping privacy principles in public. Their claim that all info they post on their website is public is based on false premise. For you to get this data one has to APPLY to county offices and request this info after filling out a form, whereas they make this info available without any such requirements. They are essentially making data which was more secure completely unsecure. Write to your senators/congressman in your district to stop this nonsense.

BlockShopper.com Unwanted online postings

In typical Blockshopper.com fashion, they used a picture of me they stole from a website for a conference I spoke at.

I told them that because they were using my picture for commercial purposes (i.e. they get paid per click) and yet they do not have ownership of the picture, then they had 24 hours to pull it down or I would sue them for copyright infringement.

In less than a day I got the following response:

~~~~~~~~

From: "BlockShopper.com Editor"
Date: February 7, 2011 7:30:41 PM PST
To: @me.com
Subject: BlockShopper picture removed

Dear Mr.,

I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for informing us of your
unwanted picture on our site. One of our editors has removed the
picture from our system. Please allow 24 hours for the picture to
actually disappear.

Kind Regards,
John

~~~~~~~~~~

Small victory, but a beginning. If they are using your pic, please send them a "Demand Letter or Email" about removal of our pic. You own the picture, they don't.

Email me if you have questions.

BlockShopper.com - Privacy Violation

Has anyone tried to sue BlockShopper in their county small claims court? It's fairly cheap like $50 and you don't need a lawyer - you can represent yourself. BlockShopper has to send a permanent employee to defend themseves at trial - I figure that's really worth the hassle even though you may lose the case and the $50. If enough people do it - maybe they'll allow people to actually opt out.

I also googled myself and was horrified to see as the second listing, my name, address, and how much I paid for my house. When you click on the link, you can also send me a message (somehow).. I emailed Scarlett S and nicely asked her to take my info off the google search. As a single women, living alone I am very sensitive to my personal information being too accessible. She wrote me a curt response telling me it is public information and they have every right to post it. and refused to take me off the web site.

I wrote back agreeing it was public info but if I DO NOT want it posted they should respect my privacy wishes and remove me since they are NOT a .gov or .org county or state web site, they are a for-profit site, profiting off ad space for MY info! and i also reminded her that they removed the info for Day J (due to his lawsuit) and I deserve the same courtesy. No response from her after that. is anyone looking into a class action suit. I am interesting if so. I agree its public info but if you can be unlisted in a phone book then we should be removed from this site if we wish.

I goggled my name today and surprised to see my personal info be listed in sf block shopper.com. I checked their web and you have no way to opt out your info! I think they have no right to post my personal info in their business website. If we cannot rely our govt to protect our rights, at least our victims should voice out or do something to stop them. Should we join together for a group complaint or lawsuit? Or tell all people about their bad practice in all social media? Would like to see more insights from intelligent people. Tks.

"Whether they have "freedom" or not to publish such information, the way they are doing it is most assuredly a violation of Google's policies."

I agree and they have gained and used information from Linked in and I have contacted their legal department.

They can get public information but cannot do so by violating the agreements they signed to gain the information.

If you purchase a house, that is public record and is public information - sorry. But the other information they gather and post is breaking the law.

I dont understand why no action has been taken against this site. I have been a victim of cyber crime. Periodically, I check my online prescence for my personal safety. To my horror, a simple Google search brought up my name, along with all of my personal information. I emailed a simple request to have my name omitted from the site. I would have been content to have my name and phone number replaced with a generic 'a****a' or 'anonymous' or 'withdrawn' as a placeholder next to my address. This would not compromise the accuracy of blockshopper's database while retaining the public's safety. My request was denied.

Consequently my privacy, financial security, physical security, and identity security are further compromised than need be. Additionally, my information is more easily accessible to mailing lists. I have been exploited without my knowledge or consent.

These people create a separate web page for every single name associated with every real estate transaction. I pulled my name up while in Europe- it was on the first Google search page. Blockshopper refused to remove my name, citing freedom speech. This regardless of the fact that I have serious concerns for the well being of my family due to the business I am in, and prior crimes already committed and targeted against those in my industry. Whether they have "freedom" or not to publish such information, the way they are doing it is most assuredly a violation of Google's policies.

BlockShopper.com Home address and purchase info displayed on my Goolge name search results page

Hello -- my home address and purchase price details display as one of the first things on a Google search of my name. While I understand all home sales are a matter of public record, is it lawful for my personal info to be so easily revealed and accessible via Blockshopper? They claim it is and that unless I am removed from the county record itself, there is nothing I can do to hide this information from my Google search results. And with the internet I realize we have lost much of what was previously private simply b/c it was harder to obtain, but having this level of detail about myself so easily accessible to some looking for general info about me, seems like a breach of privacy. I understand if someone were specifically wanting that type of info, as well as things like marraige or divorce records, they could find it; but is it lawful for this type of info thru Blockshopper to be displayed about me without any consent from me? Would be curious based on other similar complaints.

Thanks!

BlockShopper.com Do not do business with this site

Blockshopper.com invades peoples privacy, has no "opt out" if you don't want your personal information promoted to top of the google search. By doing so they put familys at risk. Also, if you google Scarlett Simpson, who is the contact person for this company, you will see loud and clear that she is a rip off artist. Do not do business with this site, and do not trust the information they present; at least in our case the information is wrong so that leads me to believe that their system must be wrought with errors. Read the reviews blockshooper.com and scarlett simpson are invovled in unethical bussiness practices and should be removed by google.

BlockShopper.com Revolting practices

They invade all of our privacy and make it so easy for identity thief. Yes, this is public information. They are correct. But who gives them the right to place it on the web for anyone to see. Just one click. Their opt out policy is a joke. YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM THAT YOU ARE AT RISK. They want a police report? You must be joking. How money-grubbing is that? Deadbeats, perhaps, who are putting all of us at risk for their advertising monies. Shame on the three 'boys' of blockshoppers.

You can write Mr. Biedermann at [protected]@gmail.com and let him know how you feel. He thinks he has a way with words with his B.S. degree in journalism. Also Brian Timpone at [protected]@gmail.com. I'm sure they would love to hear from everyone. I've filed with the FTC and encourage those who feel they are at risk to do the same. I would also suggest calling all of their advertisers and realtors to voice your concern.
