Protect Yourself ! Check this out.

Hey everyone... I got an email at work from a fellow co-worker. I did this and it did come up with my house and name and directions. Follow the instrustions to take your phone number off. Even more so pay think of this for you that have small children.

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 Map Quest and directions straight to our house.

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.

You may know someone who needs to know this - someone who has little kids.

Check your own number and (although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact).

It takes Sex Offenders right to your front door!!
