GOOGLE REVERSE PHONE LOOKUP

I got this from a friend and want to put it up for those interested in personal security. It does work. Happily for me, the map lookup was off by about 2 miles :).

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 MapQuest, 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 mapquest 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/ < 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. (?????)
