[QUOTE="area43, post: 230177, member: 4862"] Hey folks, just a quick note. First, Im no computer guru as you might can tell. Anyhow, it has come to my attention by my wife via her co-workers at the hospital that Google has a new or maybe old feature. There might be other search engines out there that do the same thing, but this is the first that I am made aware of. Ok, all you need is your area code and phone number. When that is entered your whole first and last name will appear and your wife's also(if applicable). Second your full home address is shown. Third the Map Google shows exactly where you live. I might be niave and relatively new at this stuff, so I might sound a little,dumb. LOL In closing, be careful if you have children that go on the internet or even yourself. Remember, were all anonymous, yes there should be a high level of trust and honesty, but you never know. Just use common sense. I hope this dosen't make everyone to paranoid. Just let a lengthy amount of time go by before giving even a phone number out as you can see that's all it takes. It appears it dosen't work with cell numbers. At least in my case. So, go ahead. Go to Google and put in your phone number. There is a small window(hard to see) where you can have your info removed. Curious, members please post if your info comes up. If it does, I would highly suggest for you to remove it. sincerely Area 43 [/QUOTE]
