Our editorial assessment from public sources as of May 22, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of May 22, 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
USPhoneBook.com is a free US people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site operating under Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, a California-registered LLC (entity #201720710064) with a principal address in Sacramento, CA. This is the same LLC that files for FastPeopleSearch.com in California's data broker registry. The two brands share an operating entity, a Sacramento California principal address, and a business start date.

USPhoneBook's pitch is reverse-phone-lookup-first ("type a number to find out who's calling you"), with people-search by name + address as a secondary feature. The product surface is closer to a traditional phone directory than to a true background-check service, but the underlying data is the standard people-search aggregation of names, addresses, household members, phone numbers, age, and email associations. The site monetizes through display ads and outbound referral links to paid services like Spokeo, BeenVerified, and TruthFinder.
The corporate address picture matches what we documented for FastPeopleSearch. USPhoneBook's main BBB profile is filed in Sacramento, CA (matching the LLC's principal address). A second BBB listing gives Dallas, TX at PO Box 660675, a PO box rather than a street address. We haven't located a Dallas street address, a named office, or any local Texas executive staff publicly tied to USPhoneBook. The Dallas BBB listing appears to be a registered-correspondence address only.
USPhoneBook is best understood as a Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC product, not a standalone broker. Opting out of USPhoneBook doesn't automatically opt you out of FastPeopleSearch (each brand runs its own opt-out flow), and vice versa. If you're cleaning up your exposure to the LLC's data products, plan to run both opt-outs back-to-back. Both walkthroughs are in this directory: the FastPeopleSearch removal guide and the USPhoneBook removal guide.
Data Published
Data types
Sensitive: elevated identity-theft, doxxing, or safety riskStandard public-record field
- Full names, including aliases, maiden names, and nicknames
- Current and previous home addresses (often back 20+ years)Sensitive
- Phone numbers (landline and mobile), with carrier identification on reverse-phone lookups
- Email addresses
- Approximate age and date of birthSensitive
- Names of likely relatives, household members, and known associatesSensitive
- Property and address-history records
- Reverse-lookup data: phone → name + carrier, address → resident, email → name
- Outbound links to paid background-check upsells (Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruthFinder, etc.)
Data sources: US public records (voter rolls, property assessor data, court filings), commercial data aggregators, and indexed online sources, the standard people-search data-feed pattern. Records aren't verified against the actual subject and may be stale, mismatched, or attributed to the wrong person. Same data sourcing notes that apply to FastPeopleSearch.
Reverse-phone-lookup framing. USPhoneBook leans harder on the reverse-phone-lookup product than FastPeopleSearch does, with a homepage prompt to type in a phone number to find the owner. The data shown for a phone-number lookup is the same name + address + relatives panel as a name-based search; the carrier-identification and spam-rating overlays are the differentiating UI.

USPhoneBook is one of ten domains on Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC's California data broker filing (CA #201720710064). The brands listed below share that LLC and the 1915 21st St Sacramento CA address. None of them are cross-marketed on each other's sites; the shared operator shows up in the California registry filing.
Related broker network: Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC
USPhoneBook is one of several brands operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC. No filing we can cite links the LLC to Confi-Chek, Inc. The LLC's California registry filing says an opt-out submitted "on any of these sites … will apply across all sites" for the sale of personal information, while the opt-out covering what each site collects from its own visitors has to be submitted separately on every website. We haven't tested whether a record actually clears the sister brands, so treat the filing as the operator's claim rather than a result: run each brand's own opt-out below and re-check.
Reputation
Trust signals
USPhoneBook has limited third-party review coverage. The BBB B rating with 172 three-year complaints is the most authoritative signal; Trustpilot and Sitejabber don't surface dedicated profiles for usphonebook.com itself, so numeric review-platform ratings aren't available in the same way they are for the more consumer-prominent people-search brokers in this directory.

Litigation
Litigation history
We haven't located a Federal Trade Commission enforcement action, state Attorney General consent decree, California Privacy Protection Agency Delete Act settlement, or named class action specifically captioned against USPhoneBook.com as of the last-updated date below.
A 2025 Colorado class action against the operating LLC, Elliott v. Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC (D. Colo. 1:25-cv-02384), was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in September 2025 (docket). The FastPeopleSearch profile has the details.
No FTC or state-AG action specific to USPhoneBook surfaced in our research; the BBB B rating reflects complaint patterns rather than litigation. Direct enforcement against the brand specifically (rather than the operating LLC) would be the next major-update event for this section.
FAQ
Q & A
Is USPhoneBook a data broker?
Yes. USPhoneBook is a free US people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, the same California-registered entity (#201720710064) that operates FastPeopleSearch and PeopleSearchNow. Business started July 19, 2017, the same date as FastPeopleSearch, and BBB rates it B with 172 complaints in the past three years.
Who owns USPhoneBook?
USPhoneBook is operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, registered in California with principal address at 1915 21st St, Sacramento, CA. The same LLC files for FastPeopleSearch and PeopleSearchNow in California's data broker registry. Its BBB profile gives the same Sacramento address; a second BBB listing gives a Dallas, TX PO box (PO Box 660675).
What information does USPhoneBook publish?
USPhoneBook publishes full names with aliases, maiden names and nicknames, current and previous home addresses (often back 20+ years), landline and mobile phone numbers with carrier identification, email addresses, approximate age and date of birth, likely relatives and associates, property and address-history records, reverse-lookup data, and outbound links to paid background-check upsells.
Can I remove myself from USPhoneBook?
Yes. USPhoneBook offers a free opt-out at usphonebook.com/removal. The Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC registry filing says a request on any of its sites applies across all of them for the sale of personal information, but we haven't verified that a record actually clears siblings like FastPeopleSearch or PeopleSearchNow, and the opt-out for what each site collects from visitors is per-site regardless. Run each brand's own flow. See our USPhoneBook removal guide for step-by-step instructions.
How long does USPhoneBook take to remove information?
USPhoneBook doesn't publish a specific SLA on its opt-out page. BBB complaints describe records reappearing as new public records are indexed even after successful removals. Allow a few business days for the initial suppression and plan to re-check periodically since listings can come back.
Is USPhoneBook covered by FCRA?
USPhoneBook presents itself as a free people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site, not a consumer reporting agency, so it isn't a source for FCRA-regulated employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions.
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 the USPhoneBook removal for you, re-scan about every 15 days and file again if your listing comes back.
