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, 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) 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, b u t you may know someone who needs to know this.

 

Please share this information with friends and family.

Mine either. I have an unlisted number and it brought nothing back for my home. Returned some things for my other number, because of my online business.

I removed mine but you can still go to one of the other reverse lookups and find it and I notice the map to my house will get you lost,GPS also has the addy wrong.

There are several sites where you can do this type of thing. Check out anywho.com. We use it a lot to find people we're looking for.

This is nothing new, it's been going on for years now.

I tried my phone number and got a company in China and one in Germany.

AT&T has offered this feature in their search engine for years.
