Why doesn't one person do it, let us know what happens, then we can all go 'woooooo' without spending any money.

They mentioned it on Galaxy Manchester. I have already done it, They knew what school I went to and where I live.

It's something to do with this......

It clearly queries publicly available databases (such as electoral roll) that contain personal information and relays it back to you.

Did they allude to it or 100% state the school. I mean, they didn't say, "You used to go to a building for small people between the ages of 5 and 16 in the south of England" did they?

Both of which are online somewhere I take it. Lets say you MySpace site for the old school (yes, it is on there) and Im assuming that your home address is on a CV maybe, or the electoral role?

Locations can be easily taken with the right equipment now from mobile phones. So as long as you are fairly close right now to where you went to school they can work it out. (I guess)

They gave my old address for which I was never on the electoral roll and also said I spend a lot of money like a big kid. Possibly a playstation reference.

Because I was terminally bored at lunchtime, I gave it a try. Even with a relatively uncommon name, it cam eup with something about knowing two people of that name. One working for a company I've never heard of, and the other is a big flirt :confused:

I could have had another cup of coffee with that £1.50 :(

That was a pile of **** didn't know anything about me or the other half. Can't believe I wasted £3 on it to try it out.

I suppose on a plus side there isn't much about me available on databases for people to use and abuse
