Gone For The Weekend & Robbed

A Nightmare Unfolds

Cathy had just gotten home from a great weekend visiting her son and his family, a 2-hour plane ride away.  The moment she pulled up to her house, she sensed something wasn’t right.  When she walked and saw it she couldn’t control herself, she started to sob right there.  Her home had been ransacked, things were scattered everywhere, and the entire place looked destroyed.

Now, weeks later, Cathy has had time to file an insurance claim and clean up her house. She is starting to think about what exactly happened.

She was only gone for 2 nights; how did the thieves know precisely when to rob her house? 

She posed this question to me the other night without expecting an answer, but I had an idea.

I pulled out my phone and Googled her name.  Soon enough, I found a data broker website selling EVERYTHING about Cathy: her home address, work history, and even her online browsing and purchase history.

It was right there, the purchase of the airline tickets and when the flight was along with her home address—the perfect information for any thief.

Cathy was astonished and asked me how I knew to check. I explained that I had been researching it lately.

Did you know your personal information—like your home address, salary, and even what you buy—could be a quick Google search away?

So How Can You Protect Yourself?

Here’s the hard truth: removing your personal information from the internet isn’t easy.

There are over 400 data brokers in the U.S., and new ones pop up all the time. Legally, they must honor your request to remove your information—but contacting each one, following up, and staying ahead of the ever-growing list is an exhausting and endless task.

I decided to give it a shot myself. Armed with a list of data brokers, I spent an entire afternoon requesting my information be removed. After hours of effort, I’d only contacted 15 companies.

At that pace, I realized it would take weeks of work to even make a dent—and that’s not counting all the new brokers I’d have to track down in the future.

Frustrated, I turned to professionals. I contacted a few local lawyers, only to be hit with quotes ranging from $1,200 to $7,000. One firm even told me they couldn’t guarantee complete removal. That kind of money just wasn’t in my budget. This was an example quote I got:

Finding The Best Solution

Determined to find an affordable option, I started researching online. That’s when I discovered Privacy Guardian, a service designed to do all the hard work for you.

After comparing reviews and prices across several options, Privacy Guardian stood out as the clear winner. Not only did they offer a reasonable price, but they also provided a service guarantee, something even the lawyers didn’t offer.

Privacy Guardian takes on the task of contacting every single data broker, demanding your personal information be removed. They keep working to ensure your privacy stays protected as new brokers emerge.

Signing up with Privacy Guardian was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It saved me countless hours of work and gave me peace of mind knowing my personal information was being handled by experts.

Here is my comparison between Privacy Guardian and going with a local law firm.

Benefits Of Data Privacy – 90% Less SPAM

Now that Privacy Guardian has removed my personal information, a random business or person cannot just buy it on the Internet.

A big added benefit I had not even considered was how much less SPAM I now get. See, most of the annoying phone calls, emails, and junk mail come from someone who bought your information from a data broker.

When data brokers can no longer sell your information, you tend to get much less SPAM.  It’s been nice not to get 2-3 spam calls per day.

If you don’t want your private information available for anyone to see—or want to avoid becoming the next Cathy—you must take action now.

For a limited time, Privacy Guardian is offering over 50% off their normal price.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Protect yourself and your family by signing up with Privacy Guardian today. Your personal information shouldn’t be a commodity for criminals—take back control now.
