Interesting but dangerous feature.....
Hello, Take a look at the note below - if you go to www.google.com and
type in your telephone number it will actually pull up directions to your
house - there is a way to have your number removed. Many people are
unaware of this danger. I was, in fact! Go to www.google.com then type in
your phone number (separated by hyphens, including area code) and click on
Google Search. If your phone number is listed it will show your name and
address and give you two map options. Yahoo and MapQuest. See how accurate
the map is to your home. VERY SCARY!!!
Any person wishing to discover the physical location of a phone number, be
it a home or business address,could use this feature to locate a physical
street address, and receive directions on how to get there from anywhere in
the country. In the age of
the internet communication we all know the dangers of this - for adults
and CHILDREN!
Google has made available an option that will allow anyone to REMOVE their
telephone number from the database that is linked to the mapping feature.
You will first need to check if your number is listed in this manner by
attempting a search-entering your full telephone number separated by dashes
(e.g. 555-555-5555). If the number appears in the mapping database, an icon
resembling a telephone will appear next to the first or second entry on the
results page. Clicking on this icon will take you to a page containing a
description of the service, and a link to
request your number be removed from the database. So far unlisted numbers
and cell phone numbers, do not show up. Happy searching! Be safe!
