It came to my attention tonight that by googling your complete phone number 000-000-0000 that you can see the name listed and there is a map to get right to your address. There is also a form to fill out to stop this.
Check it out if you don't know about this already. This is for real. TW

Just doing a search in yahoo or google didn't work for mine; I had to use a reverse directory look-up. I think it's a handy thing to be able to do.

You do have to keep the dashes in between the numbers. TW

this is old news, a reverse directory search has been available for a while. you can get special printed phone books that will do the same thing.

Whoa.

Typed in my martial arts schools phone number. Not my home number...my business. It came up with my age and said "name available." Typed in my friend's number and it had her age and her husband's age.

Now THAT is a good database. Frighteningly good.


Regards,


Steve
