I put my phone number in and it is very scary. Imagine if someone is
stalking you......

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.
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.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google
_http://www.google.com/_ (http://www.google.com/) Type your phone number in
the
search bar (sample 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.
Please share this information with friends and family.
