Cell Phone #'s to be available to telemarketers

[boomhauertjs]

Cell phone numbers going public today.


REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies today 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

or go to https://www.donotcall.gov/

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. If you use the web site you can register up to 3 phones at a time.

True or not it's probably a good idea to put your cell number on the DNC list.

Our administrator at work sent the message out, so I thought it was legit. Oh well, no harm in registering them.

Yep, this isn't true. I put my number on a few weeks ago to be safe, but from what I've read, telemarketers will not be able to get cell numbers.

Ha, that's pretty funny that it's fake. I work in the telcom industry so it's a bit embarrassing that I fell for it, but a guy at a networking event a few weeks ago was talking about this as well (fell for the same thing, though he didn't know it at the time) so I saw and thought it was real!
