I looked at the site and thought it good and did a few searches. After a few I was asked to agree to the terms and conditions and register which I did. I declined the invite for B4 email. When my confirmation came though to use the B4 site, I also received an email telling me that my application for email had been succesful. I tried to unsubscribe from the email use but have received a letter from mail administrator which says the mail was undeliverable plus a lot more which I do not understand as it is in German. Has anyone else had any problems? Jacky

Jacky I have just made the same mistake. Go back to your e mail scroll down to Mailpepper information. click on the link to the site. login to access your profile. you should come accross within some text UNSUBSCRIBE. click on this. you should then recieve an email confirming you have now unsubscribed. Silly us.... bet we both sent an email with unsubscribe !!! elaine x

Yes that is what I did - clicked on the email link and sent one titled unsubscribe. Thing is I then deleted the email! Jacky

Jacky Dont worry about the email you deleted. Go back to the website & log in with your username & password. you should then follow the links to unsubscribe. If you have also deleted the email with your log-in details, someone, or a link on the website may help. Elaine x

Thanks Elaine, I do have my details so can do that. What concerned me though was being told I was now registered for email and a few other bits when I said I did not want them. The email address wasn't B4 either but some other name. Jacky

Jacky. I too thought " what have I gone & got myself into". I diddn't recall consenting to join the email service, and I too wanted to opt out as soon as possible. At least it diddn't ask for any credit card details, so no harm done. Elaine x

Extremely useful site ...... that's if we are all honest law abiding citizens and looking for the same. Unfortunately there are some nasty people around who could use this info. for unsavoury reasons - I have entered the name of a policeman friend of mine and it not only did it give his name but, with a simple click, a map of where his house is. Now that is SCARY!!!! its far too accessible and totally unacceptable. As a teacher living in the catchment area of the school, I had better watch how much homework I give my pupils!!! or I might become a 'victim'

and after you register you get a few more free goes, they then ask you to take out coprate subscription, i dont know how much that costs, i think if you delete your cookies you can keep useing the site for a few free searches,
