Hello all,

It was brought to my attention the other day by a friend that my name and personal information (birthdate, passport number, hometown, education, etc) comes up on a few Korean websites after a simple google search of my name. This bothers me immensely as a) providing such personal details on the internet is asking to have your identity stolen b) I never gave permission to this Korean recruitment agency to publically advertise my details - in fact, i've never used this company in the past at all! c) i no longer work in Korea and have no plans to return. I have emailed the companies in question and have yet to receive replies. I have also tried calling one of the phone numbers provided on their site and it appears to be a defunct line. Does anyone have any suggestions how to remove such personal information off the web? Thanks in advance.
