ALERT ! ::Personal Security versus Google::

Posted by lil' jimi on October 16, 2003, at 18:43:59

1) go to http://www.google.com
2) enter your phone number in the search field
... like 444-234-6578 ...
3) click the search button
4) this will retrieve your name and address
5) click the 'Mapquest' button beside your address

.... .... and there's a MAP TO YOUR HOUSE!

i thought this was another internet hoax when i got it ...

The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. This is not a hoax;
Map Quest will put a star on your house on your street. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: http://www.google.com Type your phone number in the search bar with dashes (i.e. 555-555-1212) (dashes/spaces very important) and hit enter. This will divulge your name and address. You will see a link option to the right for Map Quest (click onit), which will use the address to provide a map to your home or place of business.

If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on the telephone icon next to your phone number.
I removed my name, but it takes 48-hours. If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but it is a good idea just to check.

... ... But this is NOT a hoax!

just a word to the wise folks,
protect yourself and your loved ones,
