Maggie Maybe<p>Oh look I’m still getting fake phishing attempts pretending to be my schizophrenic cousin because of all the doxxing thing he did on that find a grave website. Fun!</p><p>I was delighted that New Hampshire consumer protection/DOJ sent that company a letter on my behalf. </p><p>They will probably reply that the PII has been taken down, they really need to ban this man though. </p><p>I suppose it could be him trying to do phishing on me, the email address it’s actually coming from is nonsensical but it doesn’t mean it’s not him I guess.</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/FindAGrave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FindAGrave</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/doxxingForProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doxxingForProfit</span></a></p>
Maggie Maybe<p>I dropped off a Complaint at the AG’s office this morning. Then support finally emailed me, they deleted my mom’s profile so I could make one so he couldn’t make a new one. They didn’t look at anything he had done because about an hour ago I looked at my grandfather’s page and his Social Security number is still up there. And he’s a veteran. </p><p>I still have to file a complaint with the FTC, I got all the way through their website but it won’t submit so I have to start over. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/findagrave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>findagrave</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/doxxingForProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doxxingForProfit</span></a></p>
Maggie Maybe<p>I can’t believe that I have been flipping out for three whole days now about findagrave.com letting my psycho cousin Robert Webb doxx my whole dead family and I TOTALLY FORGOT I GOT THIS SCAM EMAIL LAST WEEK.</p><p>I didn’t click the link, but I opened the email because it kind of made sense since it was the week before Easter.</p><p>So yeah, even if he hadn’t publicly shared everyone’s Social Security number, simply listing all the past addresses for all the dead people in my family and sharing photos of my gravesite where my birthday is listed has potentially caused a problem (if I fell for it.)</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ancestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ancestry</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/doxxingForProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doxxingForProfit</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/findagrave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>findagrave</span></a></p>
Maggie Maybe<p>oh BOY. So this morning my cousin replied to my edit request asking him to take my mom’s addresses down. This was his reply:</p><p>“Anne's residential history is important for me to document. I did take your other suggestions. By the way, if this is Maggie, I say Hello! I'd love to know how to reach you, where you are living and how to reach your brother. Thanks, Robert”</p><p>I LOST IT. Bruh NO. I discovered that this website is actually part of <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ancestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ancestry</span></a>, and according to their terms of use publishing people‘s addresses is a violation.</p><p>It’s impossible to contact this company but I did find six different email addresses for them so I emailed all of them and I copied the Attorney General in New Hampshire and the Attorney General in Utah where the website is based. I don’t know the rules about websites but I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to be some kind of mod or ability to stop just anything from appearing online, there’s no report button anywhere except to report a duplicate grave (ooh maybe I should make one then report his as a duplicate?) but WHY WOULD I GIVE HIM MY INFO AFTER THIS.</p><p>Oh, and EVEN WORSE. The entry he made for my grandma has all of her addresses on it, but the entry he made from my brother and my father and his father do not. He’s literally only victimizing women. There is no legitimate reason it’s important for him to publish all my mother’s addresses. If for some bizarre reason he needs this information for himself he can keep it in a drawer at home.</p><p>Anyway I don’t know how to reply to him so I suggested another edit thru the site and I pasted the body of the email I sent to the AGs in it. AND the paragraph from terms and conditions that says he can’t do this.</p><p>PLEASE if you have your burial plot, maybe go make a blank entry on this site so no one else can make one and write whatever they want to about you because apparently that’s a thing and there’s no way to get it taken down swiftly. I never imagined anyone with seize control of entering my family on find a grave website and then refuse to respect my wishes regarding private information. He even made an entry from my father‘s parents, for a grandmother who was dead before my father even met my mom.
