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 don't want to alarm anyone, but zabasearch.com has a lot more info listed. I typed in my name (no state) and it searched all 50 states and listed everyone with my name, addresses, and dates of birth (some with just the year, some with month and year). On the extreme right is a service called Intelius. I clicked on it and (for free) it listed my address and five relatives (DH, MIL, and three of my BILs). The only reason I guess my mom wasn't on there was because I used my married and not maiden name. For the low price of 7.95, it will give you some more info on me and for 19.95 it will do background checks on me, bankrupcies, jail records, and a SSN check (??? I thought that was private!!) If I join Club Intelius for 9.95, I get 10% off all my searches (HOW many people do I really need to find?) Oh, and did I mention that some of the info was wrong (one of the addresses listed is not mine, but my BIL; I NEVER lived there). AND it all perfectly LEGAL.

All of our info is out there somewhere on the Internet and it really is a scary thought that people could be making money selling my info to someone. Identity theft is getting easier all the time, thanks to websites like this one. Kim, I think you have every right to worry.

You can get the same information at anywho.com as well.


Just go there, hit reverse lookup - and enter the phone number.
It will bring up name and address.


You've been able to do this for years and years.


I guess, for me, I have to choose to live my life without unnecessary worry over things I can't control.
Yes, if someone had evil intentions they could track me down through my phone number.
But - they could also follow me home from the grocery store, or even choose my house at random.


You try to be as safe as you can.
