Quote:
Those who utilize cell phones that in
approximately a month from now, cell phone numbers are being released to
telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls to your
cell phones. You will be charged for these calls.

We strongly recommend that you call this number from your cell phone
888-382-1222 or register on-line at http://www.donotcall.gov.

It is the national DO NOT CALL list. It only takes a minute of your time.

By doing so, your number will be added to the DO NOT CALL list for 5
years. Please pass this on to everyone you know who may be interested.

Read any newspaper. This is completely untrue, but everyone assumes everything they read in an email is 100% true and all attachments need to be ran as soon as possible. In most major newspapers, they talk about this rumor email flying around, which has caused yet another huge surge (1 million new subscribers last week) of numbers being signed up.

Surprisingly, the phone number to call is correct. But it is still illegal for almost any automated dialer to call a cell phone, so you have nothing to worry about. Also, every cell phone company in the US who has made a directory has been 100% opt-in. And even then, its still illegal for a solisiter to call a cell phone number, if using an automated dialer.

Who are also idiots who read information from emails and think they are true.

When I watched the film The Core I thought the same thing too.

The Core is a very... entertaining movie biggrin.gif

Once you realize that instead of getting mad at it you should just laugh.
