a word of caution

Published Dec. 5, 2007

I haven't been on much lately (busy at work) so I don't know if this has already been posted. Someone told me about this and its true - try it yourself.

In the search bar in Google, type in your phone number. Your number, name, address and a map to your house will appear. So much for privacy! If you click on your name, another screen will appear that allows you to remove this info from Google. I did and checked 2 days later - it was gone. We don't need someone getting our phone number and then getting accurate directions to our house! I wish Mapquest was this accurate - LOL!

Rosebud and headlong: when you go to read the directions about phonebook name removal, go down to the "Important Note" box and click on "try a google search". In the sponsored links on the right-hand side of the page, ways are shown to find someone with unlisted phone numbers through reverse lookup.

I googled my cell phone & nothing came up. But by pursuing the reverse number lookup, I found that for a price, you could get the info. I'm not sure what info would have shown, because I didn't pay the price.

All of this is very scary. And we think computers are so wonderful!!

My # came up, requested it be deleted. I will check back in a couple of days.

I tried 6 home numbers and 1 business.only the business came up,and I guess that's because they have a web site with that info already on it.

I have VoIP, no one associated with my number. I'm a ghost.

boo.

www.daplus.us has the most information I've ever been able to find.

it is true, tried it the other day ...... but my number came up with someone elses name and address.

You can also go to www.whitepages.com, put in a name, city, state and it will give you the persons name, address, phone number, and you can click a button that says "neighbors" and get their information too. Also most counties have a government web site, tax office, register of deeds, etc, where all you need is a name, you can get the address and aerial map. You can see how many cars are there, dogs, neighbors, their cars, etc. Scary to know so much info is out there. I try to never make anyone mad, too easy for them to find me.

Your search did not match any documents.

Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords.

Mine neither works...I am unlisted as well.

Funny thing but GPS system and Google maps do not show any houses in our neighborhood nor our street name exsisting...we have been here over 6 years and all you see is trees *LOL* I warn everyone if you are using such things we are not found so best to follow my directions

It didn't work on mine, probably because my number is unlisted, so I tried my moms, and it showed everything. Thats scary.
