Cell Phone....Reminder...

[OBJ]

Starting today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies 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 wish to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS....or go to: www.donotcall.gov.

I used the link and entered both my phone numbers. Thanks.

But why did they want my social security number, bank account numbers and passwords? ( Just kidding! )

Jim, I've seen this several times, and they are only minimally true.

Some good reading on snopes.

Sure, now you tell me. Oh well, I've been meaning to list my home phone for months anyhow and now it is. It's good for 12 years and who knows where the laws will go in that time regarding cells. I get calls from 800 numbers on the land line all the time. Thanks to caller ID, they don't get answered. Hopefully this stops them altogether.

I am on the "Do-not-call" lists and really enjoy a call from one of the "Businesses" violating it.
I get my fun from the small things.

We still get them at the shop from time to time....and at home. Usually just a polite "No Thank You" and hang up on them.

One guy that called was very persistant....told him to put the shop on the Don't Call List....he said can't do that...I said I know your name and the company your calling for....want trouble? He hung up...ain't been back since.

Pardon me....phones ringing and the ID says an 800 number.......fun time approaches.....:devil::devil:
