This is for real guys. This is no hoax. I even checked my old phone numbers and they came up too. Get yourself off this list now!!!! Read on:
Google has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be given a map to their house.
Everyone should be aware of this!
Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked.
Before forwarding this, I tested it by typing my telephone number in google.com. My phone number came up, and when I clicked on the
MapQuest link, it actually mapped out where I live. Quite scary.
Please, look up your own number.
Read below for details. Think about it--if a child, ANYONE gives out his/her phone number, someone can actually now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to 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 phonebook results link above your phone number and scroll down. 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. If your number does come up if you hit map, it will show you a direct map to your house...
Might want to pass this on to friends and family.
