Cell phone caution:reverse phone# Google search

I got this from a friend. I think the largest concern might be with your personal cellphone. One person said he was able to locate his personal cellphone within 100 yards via Mapquest with just his cellphone number, Google, and Mapquest.

Note there are a lot of other databases that can contain your personal info that are not removed by this search, and I don't know how to deal with them. I don't know if they include cell phone number data.

Google has implemented a nationwide reverse telephone book. With it you to type a telephone number into the search bar, click enter, and are given the person's name and address. This works for both land lines and cell phones. If you then click on MapQuest, you can get a map to the location of the phone.
The safety issues are obvious...
I tried a few phone numbers of about ten people I know, and was amazed with what came up; some email addresses were included. But not everyone I tried is listed. If you do not have an Internet presence, your phone number will come up, but you may not be listed.
You can have your phone number removed or blocked. I filled out the removal form, and encourage all of you to do the same.
To test whether your phone number is mapped and remove yourself from a listing:
? Go to Google at http://www.google.com
? Type your phone number in the search bar (e.g. 555-555-1212) and click "Search".
? Click "Phonebook results for (the number)".
? To block Google from divulging your private information, click "Request to have your name
removed from this list."
? Repeat with all your phone numbers.

Removal takes 48-hours.
