Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map Quest, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book. If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.

Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the map quest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary.

Please look up your own number. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google (http://www.google.com/)

Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours. Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this. Please share this information with friends and family

hey mdl, u wann see something scarier? put your first and last name into google... maybe a zip code... ;) hate to scare, but if you don't want this to work, u need to make sure your number is unlisted.

omg

MIne aint on there..thank God!

yea if your listed in your local white pages, i think you can pretty much be found via this method, tho i just noticed if you ARE listed, you CAN request to be removed from the listening(s)

wow....thanks for that info

Nazis. The chip in the hand is soon coming. Track ya like a dog they will.

Guess what...try putting you user name for this site on goggle and see whats happens, they can see your profile, posts, everything but your emails

zabasearch.com has been doing it for years.its how i found one of my birth sisters...

It's probably Hillary and her New World 'Odor'.

Unless you have multiple identities, it gives new meaning to "Say what you mean and mean what you say".

Welcome to the future.

Now when they can fit the family car and fit it in a briefcase, I'll really be impressed.

nope hilary wasnt my birthsister..

nope hilary wasnt my birthsister..

Holy smokes, news to me.OMG,WTF, cyberstalkers delight

The best way to avoid that problem is to not have your address listed, at all, in the local phone book.

They want to charge you to take your number off their data base too I wrote them an email about that.

wow!! i am amazed at the stuff it pulled up for me

What a world... what a world...

Thankyou for the warning.
