DOES ANYONE IN THESE FORUMS KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TODAY.


REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing
companies today and you will start to receive sale calls. .... YOU
WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your
time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the
cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a
different phone number.

I had heard about it, about once a month I get a call about car warrenty's, I've asked them to take me off their list. I don't know how they got my cell phone number.........its top secret number and only a select few have the number.

Next call to the National Do Not Call list.
Thanks for the info.

Already done. BTW, politicians and charitable organizations are exempt. During the recent Florida primary, I received 2 calls from candidates on my cell phone.

Mike I am curious about this: usually when a demographics list is sold to some firm, there is a profit involved for the company SELLING the info.

Who is the seller in this case, who gave them permission, and who is making the money??

According to Snopes and others this is a hoax that has been floating around the internet for years. If you want to register your # on the real list go to:

WWW.DONOTCALL.GOV


THERE IS NOTHING AS JEALOUS AS THE TRUTH!!

I'm always amazed at the number of people who will believe anything because it was sent over the internet.
