What is Spokeo?

Spokeo is an online people search and background check website launched in 2006. It enables users to search for information about people by name, phone number, email address, username or address. Spokeo aggregates data from public sources including phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, and other public data sources.

Some of the information Spokeo provides on individuals includes current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives and family members, property ownership records, criminal records, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, and estimated wealth information. Users can also view photos, social media profiles, and other details found online.

Spokeo markets itself as a way to reconnect with old friends and acquaintances, research a potential date or employee, find long lost relatives, screen tenants, verify identities, and avoid being scammed. While some of the information found on Spokeo is in the public domain, the site has also faced criticism over privacy concerns related to aggregating and surfacing personal details about private individuals.

Spokeo offers both free and paid subscription options. Free search results provide a snapshot of information that users can access after creating an account. Paid subscriptions provide unlimited reports, advanced search filters, data downloads, and more comprehensive information.

Overall, Spokeo aims to be a convenient one-stop destination for obtaining background check information on individuals from thousands of sources across the internet. However, users should be aware of privacy issues and ensure any information accessed is used appropriately.
