Incorrect Information About You As a Writer
May Turn Up In A Search Engine
WRITERS BEWARE:
Readers used to "vet" you by looking you up in a "Who's Who" or similar paper book brought out front by a reference librarian (I'm in a lot of them). Some of that info, printed on paper, would be out of date, and some of it never was true.
The same thing happens on the internet, only sometimes the info page is not dated. What you read must be kept in your tentative-file, and not believed until confirmed by direct contact with the individual involved.
We all know better than to believe anything found on the internet. Except, sometimes, you are in a hurry and find something that looks legitimate, and just use it as if it is true, or the whole truth. Much of what is written about any public figure will have been written by enemies of that public figure.
Published writers are not immune to this phenomenon.
So READERS BEWARE.
Here is an example that might be illustrative of using a well known name as click-bait for a scam selling information about Internet Figures, people known on social media to be influential. It is possible this site might be collecting info with bots, then reselling it to advertisers. They did not consult me before excerpting these items.
A friend of mine found my name used thusly:
http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Jacqueline-Lichtenberg/1625153
It appears some of this is lifted from things like classmates.com or ringsurf.com and other subscription services -- where I often fill forms with untrue info because it's none of their business. A lot of it is true, and lifted from my sites -- Facebook -- simegen.com -- by some kind of "bot" that really does not know how to read! Some of it is true, or was at some time. All of it is online somewhere, or was at one time or another.
What I'm posting here today is true as of August, 2016.

There is true "information" on that page mixed with information that is not true or way out of date.
