Hi All:

I just got some spam about this.
Please be careful about where & to whom you give your cell phone number to.

The following is SPAM... do NOT respomd

>>>>>>>>>>

Dear Valued Customer,

Wanted to let you be aware that soon telemarketers can call you on your cell phone. Find below how to remove your numbers from the list.

Kari Leon
Sales Representative
Old Republic Title
650-888-8557 cell phone

Customer Service: 650-365-8080

Cell Phone Directory Due Out .

The National Directory of Cell Phone Numbers is about to be published.
Once this happens telemarketers will have access to your cell phone
number. Because the majority of us rely on our cell phones for business
use, this will be extremely disruptive. These calls will also use our
cellular minutes. In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to
telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

Call this number from your cell phone 888-382-1222. It is the national
Do Not Call list. It blocks your number for 5 years. Please pass on to
anyone that might have been missed. You can also go to
www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx <http://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx> and register
online.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sorry, but this just smells bad like 10 day old fish!

Doug

But the www.donotcall.gov website appears to be real. I checked out FTC.gov and followed the link to the donotcall website as well.

The do not call registry is for real. The site is easy and all you have to do is confirm your number after you submit it from one of your e-mail accounts. The panic about your cell phone number is bogus, but it doesn't hurt to register it anyway. After all, all they look at is the number, and you don't want it called.
