fyi - I got this information in an email yesterday:

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today

REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow 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 must call
from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.. It takes about 20 seconds or go to www.donotcall.gov

 

oooo wait I dont have a cell phone anymore

I've been scammed! It sounded so legit.... SQUAWK!!!

 

What I wonder is who has time to start all these rumors and stuff. What do they really get out of it...it all seem so stupid to me...who are these people?
