URGENT NEWS FOR ALL CITIZENS!
This is URGENT news! The real key is to print out your listing EXACTLY as they have it and then enter it the same way on the removal form. Don't wait...do this NOW!

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 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. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: google & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; (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. & nbsp; Please share this information with friends and FAMILY.

This is nothing new, perhaps new for google, but it is just a simple reverse phone number search. There are reverse phone number searches on websites such as whitepages.com and many other websites which give you the ability to search a phone number and retrieve the address/map of the location etc. posted by

Like Smokey said, "Nothing New." I believe that if you request to be unlisted then you should be safe. posted by

Google has had this feature since there was a Google. Basically, if you are listed in the phone book you can show up. My number is unlisted and it doesn't come up. Nor does anyone else I know that has an unlisted number. You can open a phonebook anywhere and get addresses of listed people. Why is this suddenly alarming now? posted by

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm glad so many of you already knew about this. I did not and thought it would be helpful to others who also did not know. I guess "no good deed goes unpunished", eh Gube? You'll see to that. posted by

Jimr try googling your name--you may have to add Tehachapi or California but you will be amazed what you find out on someone from the net.
