Your cell # goes public today

[LadyP]

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today

REMINDER... all cell phone numbers are being

released to telemarketing companies tomorrow

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.

[JUSTUSTWO]

Oh, great reminder....going to www.donotcall.gov right now! I hope this does the same thing.

[Jessica]

I already get telemarker calls on my cell phone. Oh no, does this mean I'll get more!!!

 

I hate how they still call my home phone even though I'm on the no call list. I'll sign up again.

I'm not sure if this real this time... but there are a bunch of "urban legends" like this out there... Never the less, always good to be on the Do Not Call list.

so if it's a scam... then what happens when you register your number with the phone registry?
