Hoax or Great Idea: You Make the Call or Not…
Today I received an email claiming that “Cell phone numbers go public tomorrow,” a reminder that all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies tomorrow. Coincidently, just yesterday afternoon I was commenting to my co-workers that I had received a telemarketing call, that very day, on my cell phone, a first.
I don’t know about you, but very few things irritate me more than being interrupted by someone, that I did not ask to call me, when I am in the middle of something. To make matter’s even worse, every time you receive a call on your cell phone you are charged for the minutes.
To prevent this, the email claimed that you could call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. It is the National Do Not Call list. It also gave this website: www.donotcall.gov as a way to register your numbers. I made the call and it did sound legitimate. I guess time will tell…telemarketers beware!
Feel free to share…
