Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Sat Nam, A friend sent me this: Google has implemented a new feature which enables anyone to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book. If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious and alarming. Note: You can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the Google Map and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. This is quite alarming! Please look up your own numbe In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google link here http://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 your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48 hours Check your own number and, although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, you may know who needs to know this. Please share this information with friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an unlisted number, then I completely understand how this would be of concern. I have no children. My phone number is in the phone book. I am protected by light and love. I clear myself and my home regularly. I declare in my heart and mind that no harm will come to me. I work hard to undo my negative karma and the negative karma of my ancestors to facilitate abundance in my life. I live righteously. That is my protection. I do not want to live in fear. I could easily become afraid based on this email you sent. I choose not to. Anyone could find the map to my home simply by going to the phone book, and then entering the address into Map quest. I accept this as part of living with other people in this world. As a therapist and yoga teacher, I want people to be able to find me. I use my divine given powers of yoga and clearing my space to protect me from harm. I declare that the right people will find me. And if those people do harm to me, it is because there is a lesson that I need to learn from the experience. But thank you for alerting me to this feature. I do not want to be in denial of the dangers, just not afraid of them.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Doesn't this only happen if you are already publicly listed in the phone book? If so, then what is the issue? Personally, I am much more concerned about the massive domestic surveillance operation being executed without warrant or oversight by the federal government, in conjunction with the telecom companies.
