The Do Not Call Registry is NOT a Hoax
I’ve been receiving emails from readers advising me that the Do Not Call Registry I posted about yesterday is a hoax. People, it is not a hoax!
The Do Not Call Registry is real. You can call the number listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s website, Donotcall.gov to put your cell phone or land line on the Do Not Call list. After 31 days telemarketers can not call your registered number.
If it was a hoax it would not be on a government website. Any website that ends in the letters .gov is a government website – and you know the feds don’t play!

What Phone Numbers Can I Register?
Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry?
Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.
