I tried this out. It doesn't work with my number, but it does my neighbors. Check it out. It is a reverse telephone book by Google that can map your location. This could be used by our politicians.


Subject: Fw: Try this if in doubt

1. 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 at the end of your
address, 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 for myself, and encourage all of
you to do the same. Quite scary.
Please look up your 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
(555-555-5555)
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 you 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.
Please share this information with friends and family,
