Tried ringing it back and no answer - is there anyway of doing a reverse of directory enquiries, ie if you have the number can you find out who it is? Any dodgey way of doing so will be kept in the strictest confidence of course!

A swift Google has indicated it could be a Clacton-on-Sea number.

weapon69 - too late. Waaay too late. We're all in there somewhere, whether we like it or not, regardless of how many footprints we think we've removed...

The thing i don't understand is *im not a computer person so don't shoot me down* how do they get information? 192.com for example, are we all on there? How can people find out addresses and stuff?

Good question. But since our personal information isn't covered under the Official Secrets Act or anything, i assume there's nothing illegal in making it publicly available. Although i assume there must be *some* limit as to what can be published.

192 is made up of data from the telephone directory, the electoral roll, companies house and other public domain sources.

So can you go ex-directory so to speak?

I don't like the thought that people can track me down There are some people that i certainly don't want to know where i am!!!
