    See, if BT has no contact details, they're probably ex-directory, so may well be very difficult to find by phone. Electoral roll may help, but they can opt out of having details showing on public version of that. A google for their name may bring up a social networking profile or an email address. I've just googled DH and found us VERY quickly ...

    Have tried this, but came to nothing, It is quite scary to me to be able to google someone and their details are there. Maybe it is just me. Thanks Savvy_Sue.

    Oh no, it's NOT just you, it scares me too! But I think it is because DH is director of a local community group, that's the entry that immediately has our name, address and phone no! I don't even know if DH knows it is out there ...

    Thanks for Sue, i am glad it is just not me. It is a warning sign to me to keep changing user names on the internet. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
