Hi. Hoping someone can offer some help.
Mine is very unusual name, such thatwhen sometime type it into google, all the results clearly relate to me personally.
In the last few weeks, a friend has brought my attention to one such result that's listed - a reference to an email address I used to have (but had to discontinue because of the volume of spam). Long story short, but it's refernce to some italian based social networking site where my email address is associated with some lewd endorsement of a vaigra-type drug. It seems someone is using my old address (clearly containing my name) for dubious purposes.
I've been on to the Data Protection office but they've said that as there is no guarantee that the reference is not to another person of the same name (even though they aaccept it's unlikely) , they can't assist.
Ultimately, I'd like google to remove the page from search results containing my name.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've tried the google.com/webmaster/tools/removals but it keeps bringing me around in circles.
Anyone know of how to contact Google and to speak with a real person?
Thanks
S
