Type in your phone number on Google. has this always been there? Where is this coming from. I have about 10 listings of the same thing and some have the wrong address.

Yah, reverse phone-number lookup for business and residential has been in there for years. That data is public, and was available in other places before Google: Anywho, Switchboard, Whitepages.com, Smartpages, Phonenumber.com, etc.

The odds of someone having your phone number and not know more about you are pretty low, but if you want to keep that data private, you'll want to call your phone company--an unlisted number is best.
