I checked it out there it was. Cindy lou someone sent us this message / warning and we tried it and it is true. please read. Google has implemented a new feature where you can type someone's telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given a map to their house. Think about it - if a child, single person, or anyone gives out his/her phone number, someone can actually look it up and find out where he/she lives. (It's worse than this - a predator could just place calls until he finds a target, then google search the address.) The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. This is not a hoax, mapquest will actually put a star on your house on your street. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to www.google.com and type your phone number in the search bar with dashes (i.e.555-555-1212) and hit enter. Note, if your phone number is not public you should be fine. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on the telephone icon next to your phone number. You will see a link where you are allowed to remove yourself. Please, everyone do this!!!!!
