PhoneBooks.com's own search and opt-out are unavailable
Checked November 9, 2026: the search and opt-out routes return permanent redirects to Spy Dialer. Redact cannot currently complete automated PhoneBooks.com scans or removals through those routes. A redirect does not confirm that an older record was deleted or that another site's opt-out covers it.
Broker profile
PhoneBooks.com
PhoneBooks.com now redirects to Spy Dialer. On November 9, 2026, its search and opt-out routes both redirected there, leaving no independent PhoneBooks.com directory or form to use. The effect of a Spy Dialer opt-out on older PhoneBooks.com records is unverified.
Before the redirect, PhoneBooks.com offered free name, phone, address and employee lookups. The California registry filing we reviewed on August 5, 2026 listed it among ten domains operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, alongside FastPeopleSearch. The directory and filing details below describe that earlier service.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of November 9, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
When reviewed on August 5, 2026, PhoneBooks.com offered employee lookups alongside name, phone and address searches. Its workplace search connected a business to named current and former employees and employment phone numbers. These describe the former independent directory, which the November 9 redirect check could no longer reach.

The former site's employment data could connect a person's home details with their workplace. Its August 2026 pages described public-record lookups without a paywall. The redirect does not establish whether those older records were retained, transferred or deleted.
A redirect is not removal confirmation. PhoneBooks.com's old search views cannot currently verify an earlier request. Keep any confirmation you already have if you need to follow up about an older listing.

The California filing reviewed on August 5, 2026 listed PhoneBooks.com among ten Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC domains. A redirect to Spy Dialer does not establish the current ownership or suppression coverage of older PhoneBooks.com records.
The filing described the former network. In the August 2026 review, the operator said a record-sale opt-out applied across its ten sites and that collection from visitors needed separate requests. We have not verified the effect of those requests after PhoneBooks.com's redirect. Check each other brand's current removal guide for its own process.
FAQ
Q & A
Who operated PhoneBooks.com before the redirect?
The California registry filing reviewed on August 5, 2026 listed PhoneBooks.com among ten domains operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, alongside FastPeopleSearch and USPhoneBook. The November 9 redirect to Spy Dialer does not establish who now holds older PhoneBooks.com records.
How do I remove my information from PhoneBooks.com?
PhoneBooks.com's own opt-out route redirected to Spy Dialer when checked on November 9, 2026, so the former form is unavailable. Our removal-status guide explains the historical contact and what remains unverified. A Spy Dialer opt-out has not been shown to clear older PhoneBooks.com records.
Did PhoneBooks.com list employment information?
Its pages reviewed on August 5, 2026 advertised free employee lookups with current and former employees, employment information and workplace phone numbers. The former search views are unavailable after the redirect, so we cannot currently check an older employment listing there.
Is this the same data as FastPeopleSearch?
The August 2026 registry review placed them on the same operator's filing. We did not verify identical records, and the later redirect does not establish where PhoneBooks.com's older data went or which request would clear it. Use each site's current guide for a listing you find there.
Is PhoneBooks.com a consumer reporting agency?
The former site's footer reviewed on August 5, 2026 said it was not a consumer reporting agency and barred employment, credit and tenant-screening use. Its operator's filing also answered no to FCRA regulation. Those are historical statements from before the redirect.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. They also submit removals for most brokers Redact covers and hand you the opt-out link for the rest, then re-scan on a schedule and file again if you reappear. Coverage varies by broker.
Search and opt-out redirects checked from a US connection. Historical directory and registry details were reviewed on August 5, 2026.
