Subject: Cell phone -do not call list

Yet another headache for us all!

JUST A REMINDER....30 days from 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: 1-888-382-1222. 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.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

or visit www.donotcall.gov and register there.. actually that's easier

it behooves me to behold

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Nonetheless, you can still register your phone numbers at teh website. We have all our numbers listed.

Now if I could just get the damn political parties to quit calling.

On a related note - that opt out list, or whatever that is called, where you send in your information, and you are supposed to quit getting junk mail, - it doesn't work - at least, not for credit card applications.

Tell them you're not an American citizen. It worked a treat for us.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

The "opt out list" is a method to verify your e-mail. The spammers use randomly generated email addresses. When you "opt -out" they get a valuable
"verified email address" that they can sell to other parties.
