8 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. You must call from the cell phone number you want to block. You cannot call from a different phone number.

>>
>> HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

>> It take about 20 seconds..

>>
or go to www.donotcall.gov

after redgistering both my cell and reg phone with do not call, i still get at least 4 a day on the regular phone, i usually dont answer numbers i dont know, but i did get rid of a persistant insurance peddler last year by dropping the phone in the upturned bell of a semi air horn which i had hooked up to the shop compressor and giving the phone a 10 second blast at 120 psi, they havent called back yet

I have a simple solution that works. I can't recall ever getting a repeat, so they must pull my phone number

When Caller ID identifies an incoming call as a telemarketer or some other type of crank call, I simply answer the phone in Japanese and continue to speak in Japanese.

It blows them out of the water! I was once responding to a guy in Japanese and he kept asking me in English if I spoke Spanish.

I'm not really fluent in Japanese, but after the time I spent in the Far East in the Marine Corps, I picked up enough to harass telemarketers.

That do not call list is a joke ! They will still call just like I get calls on my reg. phone and I am signed up. All the politicans and Troopers are still allowed to call as is anyone you ever may of done business with.

This is gonna be great. I love telemarketers. Some poor feller that just called here got the johnny cash treatment (crank up the radio and set phone next to it). Other treatments include the sheep treatrment, and trying to sell something to them when they call.

I got that same email 3 or 4 times in the last 2 or 3 years. And it always said in 8 days.

I went ahead and registered my cell numbers with the do-not-call list anyway. Can't hurt, and the first telemarketer who calls it is going to catch fury beyond the usual shouting match I get into when they call my home number! I make it a point to register a complaint whenever I can get enough infro to register those calls. I hate telemarketers. Have two now that are a nuisance one a credit-card-refinancer, the other a aftermarket car warranty company. Soon's I get a handle on them, complaints are gonna fly. They are clearly in violation.. There have been some hefty fines handed out to those who ignore the do-not-call ban.
