It has at least one taking up residence at Sunset Cemetery, so I wouldn't take too much from this site.

Try it a few times, you get different results each time. I was suspicious when it listed 15 felons near my mother's residence. She's only got three neighbors at all!

wow, I can't believe I was actually duped.. I'm always the person that figures out people are being scammed by an e-mail. How embarrassing.. I should've thought of that too when I got it from the person that is notorious for sending this garbage out.. Hopefully someone can delete the post so nobody else gets fooled. thanks for the info

No worries!
I think it's human nature to want to believe stuff that is useful in keeping us and our kids safe. I was hooked, until I looked up Mom's address!

I knew it--I know a convicted felon and I put his address in--and NOTHING!! He's lived there all his life, too, so it's not like they couldn't catch up with him--well, all his life minus 6 years.

meh, probably better to leave the post up so others don't get fooled.. I still can't believe I fell for it..

Don't beat yourself up--did you know "gullible" is no longer in the dictionary?

And someone rep him for at least trying to share good info with us....I need to spread some more....that sounds so bad.

I looked at the site and kept renewing it. I know of 2 felons who live near me and neither one is there. Then I noticed that there are 2 living at the zoo. One in Brackenridge Park. Someone put alot of work into fooling people. I also noticed that almost all of them are 70 to 75 years old. I guess you live longer if your a felon.
