Google Shared My Phone Number!
(danq.me)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Guy uses phone number for business, shocked when it gets listed for that business. More at 11.
Except he provided it for identify verification, and if I was asked for this my assumption would be they need a mobile number to send a verification text message. If Google wanted a business number in order to publish it online they should state that clearly.
The author suggests it was added through people answering the "is this a business" prompts on their phones, not the identity verification.
So, all you have to do to "out" anyone who ever talks to you on the phone is mis-inform Google that the number is a business and "boom" they're out there.
Makes one want to start using callerID spoofing as a regular practice. I am calling from 212-555-1212.
