Your Telephone Number and Address is on Google

[MiniMoog]

Try this: type in your telephone number in quotes, likes so

"555-555-5555"

Watch your name and adress (or of the person who gets the bill) show up! Try it for a buddy and cringe.

Women, did he really give you his home number? Same for men?

5. you can remove your number from the search engine

farther down the page, if I recall correctly. It's been a while since I took mine off, so I don't know if it's still that easy.

10. Someone just put the phone book online, that's all

I looked up an old number and it's listed the same as it was in the phone book: first initial, last name. This is no bid deal. Same as thumbing the white pages.

[VermontDem2004]

11. That is exactly what it is

My phone number wouldn't be there if we choose not to have our number listed in the white pages.

14. The paranoia around here gets a bit much sometimes.

13. DON'T DO IT...IT'S A TRAP..THEY CAN GET YOUR IP NUMBER

and connect it to your name and phone!!!!!1




























gotcha:evilgrin:

16. not if you have a cell phone only

& probably not if it's unlisted.
I have a cell phone only and it's not there.
I never get any calls from telemarketers either. I haven't since I went to using a cell phone only about 3 years ago.

[Interrobang]

20. Mine isn't.

My address, phone number, etc. do not appear in Google; I tried this some time ago.

In fact, if you Google my real name, I'm *way* down in the hits ranking even for casual mentions. Even my two best handles are way down in the rankings. I'm practically anonymous!

[SOteric]

21. Nope, not me.

:7

[Kenneth ken]

22. no big deal

I'm in the phone book too. :shrug:
