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 |

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. Jodi

Tell them you're not an American citizen. It worked a treat for us. |

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. |
