have seen lots of my friends details on it so have been emailing/pm'ing them to let them know, hopefully we're all doing the same


wouldn't be at all surprised if that's how they got your details NNW sad peeps that make others unhappy by doing things like that :sad:

I also got numerous marketing calls and when I asked some how did they get my details, they said 'you left them on the Internet' :eek:
I, too, wrote the company a very strong-worded message. Let's see..

Thanks again x you are life savers!

OMG I feel so sorry for that lady having her address up in full on this main page -

This is a form where you can report the problem to Google - although I don't know what response you will get. Remember that Google is not the only search engine so other sites might have our details cached.

Once google has cached it I think it may be on the web for a very long time.There were complaints re google caches a few years back but they are still able to store masses of info.I think if you are on the list it will stay on google.

With respect, I am only going by the route I went to remove my profile and trying to help others. As you stated previously, you are not registered with this website. After I removed my details, google no longer took me to a page including lovethatwine and my username, whereas previously it did.

It could be just a security error in the way they set up their database. I'm not excusing them but I'm saying they may not have been aware of the problem.It's prob just a flag they need to select to hide the details.Hopefully they will do it first thing today when they see all the complaints.

With respect, that is almost certainly true. It doesn't help with the fact that people's details details have been up there at least over the weekend and possibly longer.

I also received that generic email.

Bit bad she couldn't address my identity theft details.

Same email here, to be honest I feel very fobbed off, who knows who has my details and it was very widely known throughout the weekend peoples details were showing before they fixed it. Then again what can we do about it?
