GOOGLE TELEPHONE! PLEASE READ!

Just got an email about google telephone. Not sure if you guys already know this, but wanted to pass it along. Go to www.google.com and type in your phone number ie: 555-555-1212, if it is listed, your name and address will show up alongside your #!!! Then a MAP is provided TO YOUR HOUSE(if your address is listed in phone book) If you want your number removed, just click on your phone number and follow the instructions and your # will be removed within 48 hours. This was scary to me, luckily our # is unlisted, but I found our second phone line there under DH's name, luckily no address, just City. Everyone should check this out, just to be safe, any weirdo could find out where we live if they know our #. I guess they could get a phone book, too, but to be on the internet is an invasion of privacy, IMO. What do you Think??

I guess our posts crossed...I guess I could see that, but how would they have the # to type in?

It's mainly a privacy issue for me. I guess you don't have any enemies or worries about anyone getting your # that you don't want to have it.

I happen to actually be a person with a crazy exhusband. Which is precisely why my phone number is not listed in the phone book.

From your kids? I'm done debating it, I just feel it is a big privacy issue for me. I never have my # listed, but I saw my friends on there....and some people have husbands in law enforcement and want privacy.... you never know.

Ahh yes.....well in the case of your children giving our your phone number to strangers they may be speaking to online, you do have a point.

ok, well I am offended, because in this world this is a problem with me and my family's privacy. I didn't ask for google to have my info like this (my DH's # is on there)

Sorry to post such a trivial thing, I guess talking about the silly things our kids do is more important than trying to protect people.
Sorry! i think people need to re-read the rules and realize if you don't agree with the post, ignore it.

Am I right, Laura? Sorry, but I didn't expect this type of response and my temper has now gotten the best of me.

Thanks

Kim, if your friends have spouses in law enforcement, they should really make sure their phone number/address is not listed in their local phone book.

Well, i haven't posted in awhile, and I thought this was important because people don't ask for google to have this info, but they will allow the phone book to have it though (if they want to.)
When I am told this is at the "bottom of my list of worries", it's a little hurtful and embarrassing. Maybe I'm just sensitive...some of us are.
