By publicizing peoples' home addresses, ages, relatives' names, past addresses, etc without their consent, BeenVerified places people in risk for physical harm by stalkers and financial fraud by identity thieves.
BeenVerified makes it virtually impossible to remove one's own personal information from their site. I folllowed the directions on their site for removal (which it takes forever to do, by the way, compared to similar sites), even got a confirmation from BeenVerified that it had indeed been removed. A few days later, I searched my name and got a result with my age, name, and even sugggested relatives (my actual relatives).
This is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
