WOT: Cell Phones....

[N8NOE]

! JUST A REMINDER...In a few weeks, ALL wireless phone numbers are being
released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales
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 MAY WANT TO PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Now if we could just find a way to charge for messages placed in the wrong forum...

I've always had an idea about telemarketers. Someone should take and make there own 800 numbers or something along those lines where you can charge for incoming calls. Then go and fill out tons of those marketing surveys and sign up for free stuff, do all the things that give telemarketers your number and sit back and answer call after call from them and send them a bill at the end of the month. Anyhow I haven’t gotten a marketing call once so I wonder if it’s just not your service provider that released it.

EDIT: I am not implying Ric was trying to "own" or "show up" N8NOE in any way, shape or form. Just thought the original post and subsequent links to the exact wording of this hoax were funny. Maybe my sense of humor is off today. No offense intended to either Ric or N8NOE.

not trying to 'own' anyone. Just pointing something out to everyone before they go all crazy signing up.

OK, I'm not offended!.. I will libe through the FIRE!....


But if you read the "Hoax" info, you'll see it's NOT a Hoax, jsut the urgency of it is.. But I now have ALL my phones in the No-Call as I didn't think the Cell would get caught up in it. But even the
Text said it's related to the 411 setup.
As an added Plus to this, the FCC has Zero Control over any over-seas people making this available.. Someone in "France" could make a directory and nothing could be done?.. So it's a Good thing to get ALL your numbers on the list, but the Date (Deadline) is Misleading!..
