[QUOTE="Noema, post: 3848268, member: 51052"] I don't do it, because quite frankly, I just don't care enough about anyone to do such a thing, but i came across a crowd that did this all the time. Dox people. No i wasn't friends with them. They were just in the same chatroom and i'd lerk most of the time. Anyways, there were two sites that would do a deep dive on someone for a small fee. Apparently its accurate, because this is how they send pizzas, swat and other stuff. There is also social engineering. Have you ever met someone who befriended you quickly and asked personal questions, such as, "what is your favorite pet"? Talk about family in a way to make you share information about yours?
