123People.com Posting Private Information

123People.com is posting personal and private information including email addresses on the web - easy for spammers to scrape. That's lovely. Additionally they are posting completely bogus information including addresses and phone numbers.

It is looks like they are probably scraping this information off social networks and possibly other sources based on the information I've seen so far.

It may also be somehow related to the Manta site which also displays completely bogus information about businesses, because I found some similar information on both sites. Could be a coincidence but at least these sites are related because they both post bogus information.
