From an email I received this morning: JUST A REMINDER...6 days from today, all cell 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. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Nope, it's absolutely NOT true. It is an urban legend that has been around for a while. My favorite place to check things like this is:
www.snopes.com

A link to your "legend":

Please do everyone a favor and check snopes before passing on information you get from "a reliable source"... (not directed at you personally Dave)

I haven't. These days, I'm gunshy. It's probably a number to be added to a do call list. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Thanks Gary. I thought about checking that out, but had forgotten the (snopes) web site. I'll bookmark that one. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

This is NOT true! For reference, here is the link to the FTC website concerning the email: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/04/dnc.htm Now, David, go back to work!!!! :O) "Good friends can be a real annoyance."

Looks like it is time to check with ALGORE since he invented the internet and knows EVERYTHING about it and what it contains... "Good friends can be a real annoyance."

I'm with Cingular, which is now AT&T. Their occasional spam text messages on my phone are bad enough, but I'm not ready for a deluge of telemarketers. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,

Call you cell phone company and ask them. I mean who better would know the truth? Or so we would hope.

You're kidding, right? I mean, you have called customer service before, haven't you?

quote: You're kidding, right? I mean, you have called customer service before, haven't you? (INSERT BIG LAUGH HERE) Actually I have, and when I get no help, I escalate the call, and if I still get no help I escalate again, and again and again, until I DO get help. I usually get help B-)

and the problem with most of those customer service centers is that the escalator, or elevator, doesn't reach the top floor...
